The new operation, based in Burbank, will design and manufacture network-enabled media products and systems for the delivery of rich media content to the control and presentation markets.
Some of the first offerings from MediaSonic include control systems and storage devices only previously available exclusively in Electrosonic systems and installations, including the ESCAN Control Area Network for Media Control and Management, FrEND Far End Network Device, The MediaSonic MPEG-based HD Player and MediaSonic HD Decoder card which decodes all 18 ATSC formats and custom formats.
MediaSonic is also establishing OEM relationships based on the technologies of these products and other Electrosonic products and designs.
Jim Bowie, previously the general manager of Electrosonic in Burbank, has transferred to the same role at the new division. Joining Bowie is Anthony Magliocco, who is manager of business development. "There is a rich heritage of engineering know-how and time-proven products which puts this venture on a solid foundation," says Magliocco.
