15,000 Automation Systems
/ 5,000 Digital Server Channels / Record Sales
LEIGHTRONIX, a leading provider of television automation,
video servers, and Internet streaming solutions, announces
having shipped its 15,000th automation system, delivered its
5,000th digital server channel, and closed the year with record
sales.
A pioneer in the video industry, LEIGHTRONIX offered some
of the first modular alternatives to complex station automation
systems. LEIGHTRONIX was one of the first companies to provide
a full line of low-cost, playback systems which uniquely addressed
the needs of locally originated television channel operators.
The name LEIGHTRONIX and their term “event controller”
became synonymous with reliable, affordable, and easy-to-use,
unattended playback solutions. LEIGHTRONIX products quickly
gained a solid reputation among a wide variety of users, including
public, educational, and government access organizations as
well as government/military, correctional, corporate and manufacturing,
hospitality, private, and medical facilities.
In 2009 LEIGHTRONIX shipped its 15,000th automation system,
an incredible testimony to the company’s ability to provide
products designed for the customers’ needs along with
top-notch, after-the-sale support.
In the ’90s, LEIGHTRONIX leveraged the power of digital
video technology to create the first hybrid event control
system that combined the best of digital video with signal
routing and device control, allowing its users to move into
the realm of digital without having to start from scratch.
In 2008 LEIGHTRONIX introduced its fourth generation of sophisticated
server solutions, the UltraNEXUS™, which packages digital
recording, Internet video-on-demand streaming, video switching
and device control into a single, low-cost unit. Sales of
the UltraNEXUS, which was built on the solid foundation of
the highly regarded NEXUS® video server family, pushed
the company past the 5,000th digital playback channel mark
in 2009.
Introduced with the UltraNEXUS, the LEIGHTRONIX Web media
and streaming services have also quickly gained popularity
with LEIGHTRONIX customers. In the first year the services
were offered, over 100 of LEIGHTRONIX-powered Internet streaming
video channels went online. PEG Central™, Schoolstream.TV™,
and Worshipnet.TV™ users are enjoying the unique, streamlined
workflow LEIGHTRONIX technology offers for creating, managing,
and delivering the same video content via broadcast/cable
and the Internet. These new product offerings, combined with
a solid base of core products, paved the way for LEIGHTRONIX
to achieve record product sales in 2009.
“I am so very thankful to our family of customers and
to all the hardworking team members here at LEIGHTRONIX that
serve them,” said David Leighton, president of LEIGHTRONIX.
“For over 28 years we have interacted with our customers,
suppliers, and resellers with one single question in mind:
‘how would we want to be treated if we were in their
shoes?’ The milestones and record sales figures are a
natural result of thinking of others first.”
