Developed and tested in conjunction with major broadcasters and professionals, company materials say, “GTX needs no frequency coordination, STA, or database registration. The system features automatic failover/redundant switching, MADI, fiber, Dante and AES67 digital outputs for seamless compatibility in increasingly IP-based infrastructures. Powerful management software maximizes operational efficiency, enabling new workflows and future process. The new GTX Series will be shipping in the second quarter of 2017.”
Alteros is dedicated to the research, development and sales of innovative technology products with a special focus on the evolving RF landscape and creating wireless solutions for live audio production, broadcast studios, sporting events and theater applications in the ever-shrinking frequency spectrum. Alteros develops products deisgned to capitalize on Audio-Technica's ultra-wideband (UWB) and RF technology research, and digital solutions designed to solve demanding technical problems.
Corporate developments for Alteros include the opening of a new dedicated R&D facility in Stow, Ohio, a new manufacturing partner in San Jose, California, and a recent expansion of their engineering staff. Alteros announces several RF solutions in the works, including a version for large stadiums, extreme sports and campus-based events.
“It's a new world now for wireless audio, and not just because of the RF reallocation,” says Jackie Green. “Alteros is designing RF products for how the industry is going to need to work in the future as well as today. Our foundation is still pro audio, but, as we move up into the 6 GHz-10 GHz ranges, we're entering new territory, and we need new thinking to go with that.”
