Atlona and Symetrix have struck a strategic alliance that will ‘accelerate integration, and tighten interoperability, across the A/V-over-IP ecosystem’.
Specifically, the new collaboration will simplify how systems integrators design and deploy networked systems to and from the digital signal processor (DSP), with intelligent on-off ramps for audio, video, and peripherals – notably, USB signals – that are easy to configure, control and manage.
‘As the DSP is the central part of most A/V systems, Symetrix is continually seeking ways to help our integration partners build the most cost-effective and flexible systems possible,’ says Symetrix Senior Product Manager, Trent Wagner. ‘As our industry moves toward everything over IP, we’re committed to addressing the new time-consuming challenges our customers face in building out a networked architecture. Our collaboration with Atlona simplifies the programming and control of these systems, and help us build stronger IP bridges and on/off ramps for audio, video, and USB.’
Wagner notes that Symetrix and Atlona share common architectures, including Dante audio support, and complement each other well due to minimal overlap across product lines. He adds that Atlona’s user-friendly approach to networked systems enables Symetrix to seamlessly tie in the ‘outlying components’.
Beyond Atlona OmniStream encoders/decoders and other pertinent components through to amplification, the two companies will leverage the strengths of Atlona’s highly scalable, IP-enabled Velocity control solution to simplify the configuration and management of all networked components and signals in the system.
‘Working together with Symetrix, we have developed a clear problem-solving solution for systems integrators that have found it time-consuming and difficult to program and control disparate components of a broader A/V-over-IP ecosystem,’ says David Shamir, Director of Product Management at Atlona. ‘Our collaboration will remove the mystery behind the design and integration of an interoperable networked system, and clearly communicate how to leverage the individual strength of each component outward from the DSP.’
