The first product to be distributed by IDT under the agreement will be the Raven SX-3100, a solution that offers organisations the ability to support interactive displays ideal for use in spaces such as shopping centres, universities, hotels, airports, lobbies and restaurants. The fully digital Raven SX-3100 provides the essential link between multimedia devices and display screens to offer high quality AV signals which are immune to mobile phone interference, ground loops and electrical noise.

According to IDT managing director Gerry Wilkins, the exclusive distribution deal with Raven Research is the perfect fit for IDT’s already strong AV product range.

“Raven Research is an exciting new company in the AV market with an extensive product roadmap,” says Gerry.

“Raven understands the importance of ensuring its solutions are consistent, reliable and fail-proof – and the Raven SX-3100 sets the standard in high performance AV technology.”

“Raven SX-3100 fills a need in the market for a product that can carry AV signals on a single Cat 5/6/7 cable to display screens that are up to 150m away.”

IDT will commence distribution of the Raven SX-3100 in February, with more of the Raven Research product line to be released throughout 2012.

“IDT is a welcomed departure from the typical distributor paradigm,” says Raven chief technology officer and president Chris Miller.

“Possessing true market vision, technical acumen, experience and professionalism, IDT provides world-class AV technology distribution and client support. We are very pleased to be working with them.”

“From a solution standpoint, the SX-3100 provides an unprecedented level of performance, stability and operational simplicity – it will address and solve many familiar problems and will enable new possibilities for the AV community.”
