Vitec Group Services Division has added UK-based Camera Corps to its roster of broadcast solutions providers as part of the Vitec Group’s recent acquisition of the company. Camera Corps is well known for its delivery of broadcast solutions and the design and manufacture of specially made camera systems. “Bexel has been a key US distributor and rental agent for the Q-Ball camera system for a few years now, making this acquisition a natural fit,” said Jerry Gepner, chief executive of the Vitec Group Services Division. “The Services Division is known for providing world-class solutions to our customers and we look forward to integrating Camera Corps’ innovative products into our upcoming projects. This furthers our efforts as a complete, one-stop broadcast service provider.” Camera Corp’s range of specialty equipment includes high-level cranes, HD and SD motorised tracking cameras, underwater cameras, bull’s-eye-mounted archery target cameras and fireproofed high-temperature cameras. The acquisition complements Vitec Videocom division’s existing range of products, which include lighting, power, tripods, robotic cameras and prompting solutions. “We are proud to join the Vitec Group at such a monumental time in the industry,” said Laurie Frost, founder and managing director of Camera Corps. “We share the common goal of creating solutions for our customers that deliver truly compelling images and adhere to the highest technical and service standards.” www.vitecgroup.com
