ABC Purchases Ross Video Switcher

ABC has purchased a Ross Synergy 4 MD-X multidefinition production switcher for the network's Washington, D.C. facility.

In addition to the switcher, the network also purchased the Ross OverDrive production control system. Installation of both items is expected to be completed by early 2007.

"We are extremely pleased with ABC's decision to purchase Ross products," said Jeff Moore, Ross Video president. "Synergy and OverDrive deliver flexible and efficient broadcast solutions that meet the demands of today's complex productions."

ABC has also purchased an additional three Synergy 100 MD switchers for use in its New York City edit rooms. These are also scheduled for installation early next year.
