International. GatesAir departed Amsterdam with three IBC2019 Future Best of Show awards. Winning products included GatesAir's Intraplex Ascent SRT video over IP gateway and Maxiva IMTX-70 transmitter in the TVBEurope category, and GatesAir's Intraplex Ascent AoIP transport platform in the Radio World International category.
The Future's Best of Show awards are evaluated by a panel of engineers and industry experts. With the target audience of each specific publication in mind, award-winning solutions are selected based on innovation, feature set, cost-effectiveness and performance in service to the industry.
Intraplex Ascent is the industry's first scalable, multi-channel audio over IP transport solution to address the convergence of broadcast operations with IT infrastructure. The software-defined innovation is GatesAir's first Intraplex system to live on a COTS x86 server, offers a direct connection to traditional analog and digital audio interfaces, and complies with the AES67 standard and today's leading AoIP networking solutions.
Intraplex Ascent adds more value by allowing users to manage many Reliable and Secure Transport (SRT) transmissions on a centralized platform, a feature that defines the TVBEurope-recognized Ascent SRT over IP video gateway.
The Maxiva IMTX-70 transmitter represents a new design for the GatesAir family of transmissions, comprising a very compact, high-density chassis that can house sixty-six UHF or VHF transmitters. Designed for installation inside a cylindrical tower, each transmitter in the chassis can also be individually configured as a transpositor or space filler in the channel.
"GatesAir continues to invest in research and develop initiatives that result in bringing new problem-solving innovations to market. We are exceptionally proud to be recognized by these industry-leading experts for our latest contribution, distribution and broadcast innovations aimed at serving TV and radio networks of any scale around the world," said Bruce Swail, CEO of GatesAir.
