AMTEC serves the Mexico market in its entirety and as an Omneon system integrator will promote, support, sell, and service the complete line of Omneon products.

“Access to Omneon’s line of media server systems is a great benefit to AMTEC because it allows us to provide our clients with the most advanced server technologies available on the market today,” said AMTEC President Andrés Martínez. “ We’ve discovered a great demand for the company’s Omneon Spectrum™ server systems here, having already placed them into seven local projects. We expect the initial interest to multiply as our market becomes more familiar with the Omneon media server system and understands the flexibility that it offers any broadcast operation.”

“We’re very pleased to welcome AMTEC to the Omneon network of system integrators,” said Dan Marshall, vice president of worldwide sales for Omneon. “The Omneon product line is well suited to the requirements of broadcasters across Mexico. We look forward to building on AMTEC’s early achievements in establishing Omneon products in key installations in this market.”

An exceptionally cost-effective and flexible media server designed for the professional television industry, the Omneon Spectrum™ media server provides a reliable and scalable infrastructure for broadcast playout and storage applications. Omneon’s server system is built on an open architecture that allows it to support a broad variety of third-party applications for control and transmission, media management, archiving, and collaborative production. As a result, stored media can be shared among many users and applications.

The scalable, distributed architecture of the modular Omneon Spectrum™ server system also offers users maximum flexibility in scaling system components and capacity in small or large increments as desired. The system is available in a broad range of configurations to meet the specific needs of each installation.
