ZeeVee pairs with Itochu Cable Systems in Japan
ZeeVee has appointed Itochu Cable Systems as its exclusive distributor for Japan. Itochu Cable Systems is a division of Itochu Corporation, created to be a ‘one-stop’ solution provider as well as a distributor and systems integrator for AV products.
Hidetaka Osuga, general manager of the cross-media solution division at Itochu Cable Systems, believes that Ultra HD video distribution will be highly desired after the 2020 Olympic games. He also expects medical imaging applications to increase. ‘What attracted us to ZeeVee was its solutions for distributing uncompressed 4K with near zero latency,’ he said. ‘This intrigued us as we knew these products would help us to quickly expand our business into the pro AV market and support our ambition to become the leading systems integrator specialising in video, communication and sound.’
Bob Michaels, CEO of ZeeVee, added: ‘The timing couldn’t be better for ZeeVee and Itochu Cable Systems to partner, raising the awareness and availability of our ZyPer4K products in Japan. Itochu has built a strong and trusted organisation over the years and we are confident that together we will meet the demand of the many markets that are now calling for uncompressed 4K video solutions including medical, higher education, enterprise and retail.’
