For Immediate Release
Iroquois, Ontario, Canada – August 11, 2009 – Ross Video announced today that ABC Television has placed a major order for Ross openGearâ„¢ 3Gbps capable Fiber interconnect, Frames, Distribution Amplifiers, Audio/Video Multiplexers and Demultiplexers (Mux/Demux) with Dashboardâ„¢ control and monitoring application, for the new HD Central Switching Center (CSC) facility in New York. The CSC facility will be the primary central routing and signal processing installation for all of ABC's inbound feeds, internal routing and distribution, and quality control monitoring.
“We are excited that ABC has chosen Ross openGear for this integral portion of the ABC Central Switching Center,” said Eric Goodmurphy, RossGear Marketing Product Manager. “The open frame standard of openGear, our powerful DashBoard control and monitoring system and a new series of 3G Fiber products were key to Ross winning this business. Our 3G products include a new series of copper to fiber and fiber to copper receive and transmit modules including a high density dual unit as well as 3G single card Mux + Fiber and Fiber + Demux. The new openGear DataSafe feature stores all card parameters on the local frame network card. In the event of a card change, settings can be automatically restored, minimizing costly downtime, especially important in installations of 1,000 cards plus like ABC.”
