Harman acquires networked AV product maker SVSi, with plans to incorporate it into the Harman Professional's Video and Control Strategic Business Unit (SBU) and market it as part of the AMX brand.
Further details of transaction are not available.
“Harman was early to recognise the emergence and potential of AV over IP,” the company says. “For more than 6 years, we have been steadily introducing new products to serve growing customer demand for IP-based products. With the acquisition of SVSi, we will accelerate our development plan with the addition of extraordinary expertise from the SVSi team.”
SVSi offers a portfolio of high performance encoders and decoders, windowing/wall processors, an audio transceiver, video recorder and management software.
