January 2007


 

Greetings and Happy New Year!

On behalf of everyone at AMX, THANK YOU for an incredibly successful 2006. We sincerely appreciate our partners, and we would like to wish you an even more prosperous 2007.

We ended 2006 on an extremely high note by adding three new companies to the AMX Family: Endeleo, AutoPatch and Matrix Audio Designs. Each of these companies specializes in best-of-breed products that significantly expand the AMX product portfolio to include distributed media, matrix switching and distributed audio.

All of the new products are now available through AMX dealers and distributors and supported by our award-winning Customer Service and Technical Support. This month, we introduce you to the new companies and provide an overview of their product lines. As always, please contact us if we can answer any questions or be of assistance.

What Is Endeleo?
Endeleo products consolidate, switch, and distribute television and other audio / video sources from one location to another.

These products distribute all of the signals over standard Cat 5/Cat 5e and Cat 6 cable and then deliver it to the appropriate display device (TV, projector, LCD) on the other end of the connection. Endeleo products also provide an element of control over the Cat 5 connection so that the devices and content can be controlled from various locations.

Endeleo products have a primary emphasis on the commercial sector and are designed for customers who want to display various types of content, but many times are unable to pull other types of cable. They can be found in most of AMX’s key vertical markets, including: Financial, Education, Corporations, Government, Entertainment, Retail.

Ultimate Solutions for Content Control
Endeleo has two core product families for consolidating, switching and distributing television and other audio / video sources: The TVM Series (Managed Television Distribution System) and the UDM Series (Multi-Format/Multi-Media System) for video/audio switching and distribution.
