Harris to Exclusively Distribute Echolab's Atem Mixers

Thanks to an agreement signed between Harris Corporation and Echolab, Harris will expand its portfolio of studio solutions by exclusively distributing Echolab's Atem family of mixers. Atem with integrated interface for Harris' new Inscriber TitleOne XT system will be on display at NAB.

Harris Corporation and Echolab have entered into an agreement whereby Harris will exclusively distribute Echolab's Atem family of mixers worldwide. With this agreement, Garris expands its portfolio of emission solutions with a powerful, versatile and compact mixer.

Nigel Spratling, President of Echolab, has described this agreement as highly beneficial for the customers of both companies: "Atem's current customers should know that they will continue to have access to the same exceptional service and support, while providing the advantages of having Harris' large international network. Overall, our agreement with Harris will enable more customers around the world to benefit from a powerful, yet easy-to-use production mixer."

At NAB 2010 Harris will be showcasing Atem switchers interacting with an interface to their new Inscriber TitleOne XT graphics system. The tight integration between the two will allow users to produce professional graphics and convincing digital effects.

Harris will demonstrate three Atem switching models at NAB. The basic system is a mixer for 3 Gbps 1080p (50 and 59.94), 1-M/E (Mix/Effects). The new AtemEX is an expanded version of the award-winning original version, offering 18 inputs and 10 outputs and two ten-window multiviewers for monitoring. Completing the range is the new Atem2, a 2 M/E that offers advanced two-channel 3D DVE at an affordable price.

Dave Dougall, Vice President of Infrastructure and Networks at Harris Broadcast Communications said: "Atem's line of production switchers is a great addition to Harris' portfolio, rounding out our offering and allowing us to expand into fast-growing markets such as places of worship, education and government. The new Atem switchers represent exceptional value and power for a wide variety of applications, and will allow us to offer customers an easy-to-use, comprehensive and cost-effective solution for even the most critical live productions."
