Nixer partners with Video Signal in Italy
Nixer has appointed Video Signal as our partner
and
distributor in Italy for our range of audio
monitoring
units.
Nixer has a long pedigree of designing
high end
audio products for the Broadcast,
Live and
Theatre markets for over 20 years.
Just over 2
years ago, Nixer started designing and
manufacturing
their own products under the brand
name Nixer Pro Audio. Nick Fletcher, CEO, saw a
requirement
for a robust and easily deployed
product to
help Engineers maintain, diagnose and
monitor
audio within their Dante® audio IP
networks.
The first product, PD Dante, set the trend and
offers a
compact, hand-held portable device that
allows
the monitoring of up to 64 Dante channels
at
48kHz (32 channels at 96kHz). The unit goes
beyond
simple confidence monitoring and allows
route
subscriptions to be made and network
configurations
changed via PIN protected menus.
Alessandro
Trezzi
from Video
Signal commented
“We think this is an exciting time to partner with
Nixer. They have a strong and growing range of
Dante®
AoIP
products which
provide Operators
and Engineers with the
necessary tools required in
the exacting Live,
Install and Broadcast
environments. With a
broad range of capabilities,
be it confidence
monitoring, network routing,
configuration and
testing there is a unit to match
all
applications.”
The current suite of products allows for Dante
audio
monitoring with quick, intuitive and easy to
use
interfaces, removing the need for engineers or
operators
to carry a slow-to-boot and bulky laptop
computer
for source selection and monitoring.
The RL64
Dante offers a compact 64 channel
Dante® audio
monitoring unit in a shallow 1RU
form factor,
ideal for OB vans and fly-packs, while
the
RD64 Dante offers precision Dante® audio
monitoring
with comprehensive diagnostics and
optimised
ported speakers in a 2RU enclosure.
All the tools necessary for line-checking,
troubleshooting
or operator/talent monitoring are
readily
available in a single device.
Nick Fletcher added “We’re very happy to partner
with Video
Signal, who are long established in the
Italian
Broadcast market. Our units are
increasingly
finding applications within national
broadcasters,
theatres and many Parliamentary
and renowned
international financial institutions.
We’re
always keen to listen and enhance features
and
we have more products in the pipeline and
some
exciting new releases planned over the
coming
year.”
