AMSTERDAM – Ross Video has acquired California-based Abekas in a move that it says will add core video server technology, replay and profanity delay systems to their product portfolio. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Abekas designs, manufactures, sells, and supports professional HD/SD digital video/audio equipment, with product lines that include Mira Replay Server, Mira & Tria Production Servers and AirCleaner Profanity Elimination Delay System. Ross said that it will integrate the Abekas server family into its production system portfolio.
“Abekas’ product line fits perfectly into our portfolio and our live production focus,” said Ross Video CEO David Ross, in the announcement. “Replay especially, is a component we needed to round out our solution set. Abekas has a very similar mind set and value proposition to Ross, providing great technology at reasonable prices.”
“We decided it was time to join a larger company that could bring broader market reach to our product portfolio,” added Abekas CEO Junaid Sheikh. “We’ve enjoyed working collaboratively with the Ross folks for many years and felt this was the perfect fit for the Abekas team. We are excited about the next chapter as we continue to grow and expand the portfolio we have developed.”
