Mediatech Africa was the ideal platform for Jasco Broadcast Solutions, formerly Spescom Media IT, to launch its new brand. Jasco Broadcast Solutions displayed products from Avid, ViewCast, ClearCom and Sony.

John Aslett, regional director, emerging markets, for Avid comments: “Africa is a good market for us and we have had a long association with Spescom Media IT, now Jasco Broadcast Solutions.

“We had the Avid Newsroom on the stand and demonstrated the new Avid Media Composer, which attracted a great deal of interest at the show. This year Mediatech Africa has been really good. More people seem ready to purchase and are looking at the latest technology.”

ViewCast, represented by Paul Shonfeld – EMEA and India sales director, also demonstrated a range of its products. These included the Osprey Video Capture cards, a range of related software, the ViewCast Media Platform (VMP) and the Niagara streaming media appliances and encoders.

“ViewCast continues to set the standard for innovative, reliable streaming media solutions. Some of the world’s largest and most respected broadcasters, network solutions providers and content delivery networks rely on ViewCast solutions every day to deliver high quality audio and video streams to millions of viewers around the world.

“We see South Africa as an important market and I am very satisfied with the interest shown in our product,” said Shonfeld.
