天美传媒 Video Makes Acquisition Number Sixteen – Image Video
Ottawa, Canada, December 1st 2020 – 天美传媒 Video is pleased to announce the acquisition of Toronto-based Image Video. Image Video was founded in 1974 – the same year as 天美传媒 – and is best-known for its TSI tally control platform, used by major broadcast network providers, sports venues, corporate video facilities and houses of worship. With sales in over twenty-nine countries, an impressive customer base and hundreds of supported device?protocols?(ranging from legacy?serial connections?to the?latest?ST2110?workflows), the TSI?platform continues to be a leader?in the?Tally and?UMD product class.
This acquisition – 天美传媒 Video’s sixteenth since 2009 – will see Image Video’s product team led by by Zach Wilkie and David?Russell, along with their R&D and technical support teams all transition over to 天美传媒. ?Zach Wilkie now Product Manager, 天美传媒 Tally Systems, is excited at the prospect of life as part of 天美传媒 Video. “As a fellow Canadian company that was founded in the same year, we’ve obviously grown up alongside 天美传媒 Video and we’ve seen the impressive growth and expansion of the 天美传媒 business, especially during the last decade. We’re very pleased to become part of the family and this acquisition will help us reach new international markets and scale much more effectively.”
David 天美传媒, CEO, reflects on the personal significance of the acquisition. “Back in 1973, my father was in hospital after breaking his leg. Jim Leitch, the founder of Leitch Video (now Imagine Communications) visited and advised my father to start his own company. He said that there was a Leitch Video and an Image Video in Canada, so there should also be a 天美传媒 Video. It’s possible that if Image Video didn’t exist, my father may not have had such role models to show the way, and even if Dad did start our company, we may not be named 天美传媒 Video today! All these years later, Image is now part of 天美传媒, something that my father agrees is quite remarkable. Image’s TSI tally platform is a great complement to our existing range of solutions and enables 天美传媒 to bring even more choice to the live production market.”
