Ensemble Designs Lands Half Million Dollar Sale to Government

Grass Valley, California, 28 July 2011, – Ensemble Designs has closed a sale of ninety-seven BrightEye Mitto Scan Converters for more than US $500,000 to a government agency. Ensemble’s BrightEye Mitto Scan Converter is used for converting computer content into video for demanding, high-end applications such a military facilities and broadcast television stations.

“Our new technology and IP is what sets Mitto apart,” said Mondae Hott, Director of Sales at Ensemble Designs. “The high definition, fast progressive output is what this project required and that’s something we do really well.”

Waveguide Consulting of Georgia tested all applicable scan converters on the market and in the end specified Ensemble’s Mitto for the Lockheed Martin project in Texas. The scan converter’s ability to output 3 Gb/s high definition video was part of the requirement. Waveguide provided consulting and engineering design services on the project. Emerald Communications of Georgia facilitated the testing and provided technical support to Waveguide during the evaluation process. The project went out to bid and Whitlock Group of Texas won the bid as the sales agent in the deal.

“We work closely with Emerald on all sorts of government and broadcast projects,” said Ron Chubb, sales staff at Ensemble Designs. “It’s great to be included in such a monumental installation.” Ron specializes in government sales and has worked with consultants in that specialized segment of the video industry for over twenty-five years.

The filters automatically adjust in accordance with the conversion being performed.
