Purveyors of Fine Video Gear - Loved By Engineers Worldwide
In 1989, a former television station engineer who loved designing
and building video equipment, decided to start a new company.
He relished the idea of taking an existing group of equipment
and adding a few special pieces in order to create an even more
elegant ensemble. So, he designed and built his first product and
the company was born.

attention away from real business. And, you can be sure that when

and we’re here to stay.
