AEQ and Broadcast Pix partner to deliver media and broadcast automation solutions

The integration consists in the seamless inter-operability between Broadcast Pix’ Integrated Production Switches and AEQ’s Mixing Consoles and Audio over IP.

Spanish manufacturer AEQ and Massachusetts based Broadcast Pix announced that they have reached an agreement on product integration. The primary objective with this agreement is to be able to offer complete media and broadcast automation solutions. The integration involves Broadcast Pix’ Integrated Production Switches and a series of AEQ’s Audio AoIP Network enabled products.

The integration will be promoted as packages by both companies in their respective markets. To AEQ the packages will mainly address the Visual Radio Market in the US and Latin America, while Broadcast Pix will provide their dealers and integrators with additional products and packages for their current broadcast, corporate, government and house of worship markets.

The integration consists in the seamless inter-operability between Broadcast Pix’ Integrated Production Switches and AEQ’s Mixing Consoles and Audio over IP Network interfaces allowing for the automation of video production based upon audio levels and thresholds. The intelligence of integrated software control from Broadcast Pix eliminates the need for a technical director during live video productions. This becomes paramount when applied to, for example, Visual Radio implementations. When an AEQ product is paired with any Broadcast Pix integrated production switcher, this very powerful hardware and software solution automatically detects which microphone or audio channel is being used and triggers the predefined actions in regards to the video-follow-audio automated production.

“This partnership will help us expand into even more international markets and strengthen our position as a premier visual radio solutions provider,” said Tony Mastantuono, product manager, Broadcast Pix. “Seamless integration between products from different manufacturers is more critical than ever, and we are proud to be working with AEQ to improve functionality for our customers.”

Ivan Olmeda, Director of Corporate strategy and development at AEQ: “This partnership comes really natural as we are expanding into new markets and business models. Visual Radio and Multimedia solutions are increasingly becoming standard requests from our customers. The seamless integration of Broadcast Pix’ Production Switchers and our range of AoIP networked products provides a perfect platform. It is more than a pleasure to work with one of the finest switching solutions backed by a really dynamic Company and professionals. Broadcast Pix’ production switchers in combination with our AoIP products becomes Visual Radio Solutions with almost endless possibilities”.

Both AEQ (Booth C3651) and Broadcast Pix (Booth SL8320) will demonstrate the new integration next month at the 2018 NAB Show in Las Vegas, NV.
