Phillip Adams, CEO of PHABRIX, comments: It was a welcome development when MPTS acquired BVE in 2019, paving the way for there to be one robust and steadily growing annual event for the UK broadcast industry. Covid-19 sadly resulted in a hiatus of two years, but now MPTS is back and offering its most dynamic exhibition floor yet - and we are delighted to be a part of it. Broadcast and media companies everywhere are reviewing and evolving their equipment inventories as they prepare for the next phase of production history. As MPTS visitors will see, we have made the very best use of the extra R&D time over the past few years to further optimise our leading rasterizer and handheld instrument products - ensuring that they provide even more flexibility and functionality for all kinds of workflows.
