DVS Digital Video Systems, which joined the Rohde & Schwarz group in December 2010, will now operate under the moniker Rohde & Schwarz DVS. The company – whose film and video post production products include Clipster and Venice – will continue as an independent organisation within the Rohde & Schwarz group, according to the announcement. Peter Spoer and Hans-Ulrich Weidenbruch will retain their positions as CEOs, and the company headquarters remains in Hanover, Germany. As part of the change, the two companies are combining their sales activities. As a result, DVS products will be marketed in more than 70 countries via the Rohde & Schwarz sales network. “There is enormous potential for growth in both the broadcast and studio market. We believe that together we will now be able to make even better use of this potential,” said Jürgen Nies, head of the broadcasting division at Rohde & Schwarz. Munich-headquartered Rohde & Schwarz manufacturers technologies in areas including test and measurement, broadcasting and radio monitoring. The company reported a net revenue of € 1.6 billion in its fiscal year 2010/2011 (July 2010 to June 2011). 7.E25
