Bexel Broadens Equipment Offerings with New Dealer Partnerships

Bexel, a unit of the Vitec Group's Services Division and a leading worldwide provider of broadcast services and solutions, has expanded its new equipment offerings of high-end video and audio products. Bexel's Technical Sales & Solutions (TSS) business segment is now the first authorized U.S. reseller of Lawo, and has added five new product lines, including: Lawo's V_pro8 video processors, AJA acquisition/edit/conversion products, Grass Valley production solutions, Harris Broadcast, and Panasonic professional video products and displays. These brands join over 200 products available from Bexel TSS to the broadcast and production segments of the industry.

These products will also be incorporated into Bexel's Engineered Systems & Solutions (ESS) business segment, which designs and implements solutions for the broadcast industry, including systems integration, fiber, engineering expertise, and technical production support.

This strengthening of inventory and manufacturing relationships builds on Bexel's long history of supporting the broadcast industry with new and pre-owned equipment for purchase or rental, says Bexel President and General Manager Halid Hatic. These new partnerships make it possible for content creators and production pros to leverage Bexel's wide-range of offerings for all their needs.

As the only U.S. resource for Lawo's new V_pro8 video processor, Bexel is able to provide robust features for the video engineer in a small 1RU form factor. The V_pro8 combines a number of different tasks into one tool, including eight SDI video channels with 64 channels of audio for embedding, de-embedding, shuffling and combining freely, while using modern protocols like 3G-SDI, MADI and RAVENNA with simple touch interfaces. Additionally, the V_pro8 offers high-quality format conversion, color correction, frame synchronization as supplementary options.

Bexel represents their full line of cameras, switchers, converters, servers, replay systems and other tools for broadcast, sports and venue applications.
