onemedia, PlexusAV agree major UK AV distribution deal

PlexusAV and onemedia, a UK-based distributor, have agreed to offer PlexusAV AV over IP products in the region.

PlexusAV, the professional AV division of Sencore, has partnered with Onemedia to increase the availability and distribution of its AV portfolio in the UK market.

Steven Cogels, Global Business Development Director at PlexusAVcommented:

We are thrilled to have signed onemedia as our UK distributor for PlexusAV. We have spent considerable time reviewing the UK distributor landscape and I am confident that onemedia offers the ideal combination of financial services, technical expertise and sales attributes that are essential not only for a successful launch but also for the ongoing support that a brand like PlexusAV requires.”

Cogels emphasized that the onemedia team is not only very experienced but also talented, which perfectly fits the vision of the future of PlexusAV. This partnership paves the way for both companies to anticipate a long-term and fruitful cooperation.

The Plexus product suite, which uses the open IPMX standard based on SMPTE ST 2110, is consistent with Onemedia’s strategy to provide comprehensive AV technology solutions, further strengthening its presence in the UK market.

“PlexusAV is the first brand to offer a full range of products based on the IPMX standard,” he added. Will Hetherington, CTO at onemedia“IPMX is an open standard that we are confident will, over time, become the leading platform for true ‘interoperability’ in IP-based AV. As such, the PlexusAV range has an impressive list of features that already set it apart from other AVoIP solutions we have reviewed.”

“We strongly believe that the new Plexus products will provide system integrators with more open and future-proof solutions for their end users.”
