NEARITY Picks MVD as North American AV Distributor

NEARITY has chosen Reading, Penn.-based AV technology distributor, Mobile Video Devices Inc., (MVD) as its exclusive North American distributor. NEARITY is a conferencing solution innovator for distance collaboration.

According to a statement, the new agreement will see MVD supply and support NEARITY’s full portfolio. These include audio endpoints, all-in-one conferencing devices, PTZ conferencing cameras, and webcams to systems integrators and resellers throughout the region. MVD will also bundle NEARITY devices alongside complementary products from other vendors to form complete videoconferencing solutions.

Breakdown of NEARITY Portfolio

NEARITY states that its mission is to bring people and institutions nearer to each other through sophisticated AV solutions. The company provides innovations for distance collaboration at cost-effective pricing.

Empowered by audio technology that combines deep learning with traditional signal processing, NEARITY further states that it offers a comprehensive portfolio from entry-level to high-end solutions. These solutions help make conferencing easier, more efficient and also affordable.

According to the company, its audio innovations are plenty. They include full-duplex, AI-driven noise suppression; de-reverberation; advanced daisy-chain technology; and beamforming algorithms to ensure participants are heard clearly. Moreover, its product lines include dedicated speaker-microphone combinations as well as all-in-one conferencing devices (such as the NEARITY C25 and C30R) that combine a speaker, microphone, and HD or 4K webcam into a single, fully-integrated unit.

Furthermore, the company highlights its newest development, the NEARITY S100 USB audio interface. This provides bi-directional conversion between line-level, analog audio signals and digital USB signals. It also enables USB audio endpoints such as the NEARITY A11 and A20 to be used with legacy video conferencing systems. Of course, this significantly improves audio quality without the waste of replacing the existing conferencing system.

Jeremy Wang, global sales director at NEARITY, emphasizes the goal for high-quality and easy-to-use conferencing products at reasonable prices. “…We believe that every business should have access to great, flexible technology for their users. MVD has a proven track record of helping international vendors like ourselves grow their presence in North America while providing exceptional support to channel partners and customers. We look forward to a long and successful partnership,” he adds.

A Mutually Beneficial Partnership

MVD states that it has been providing full-service distribution and manufacturer representation for market-leading media technology products for over 15 years. According to MVD, its focus is primarily on conferencing, live streaming, collaboration and video production.

Thus, the company works closely with resellers, system integrators and OEMs to provide the ideal video solution for each unique application. It also provides support through all aspects of setup and implementation.

MVD also distributes various other key product lines. These include Magewell video capture, streaming, and AV-over-IP devices; ScreenBeam wireless display and collaboration solutions; PTZOptics and HuddleCamHD pan/tilt/zoom and auto-tracking cameras; and NETGEAR managed network switches.

Darryl Spangler, the president of MVD, observes the effort in designing complete bundles for small conference rooms and videoconferencing at home. Spangler hopes that these efforts make it easier for integrators and resellers to provide comprehensive solutions for customers. “…Home office conferencing is here to stay, but keeping people on such calls engaged requires better video and audio solutions,” he remarks.

Spangler reveals that MVD was on the lookout for audio products to complement existing vendors’ video innovations. He concludes, “…and we were impressed by the quality and affordability of NEARITY’s devices. We’re excited to become their exclusive North American AV distributor.”
