Share in North American and Latin American Markets

solutions provider, is further consolidating its leadership of the sector in North and Latin America with the expansion of its SX3000 Standalone Integrated Media Block™(SX-3000 IMB) installation base. As the industry’s first standalone IMB, the SX-3000

content such as 3G HD-SDI and HDMI, as well as image-scaling.
