The SDVoE Alliance announced that Kramer has joined as a contributing member, expanding the Alliance’s roster following Kramer’s recent acquisition of ZeeVee — one of the group’s founding members.

As a contributing member, Kramer will work with the SDVoE Alliance and its partners to advance the development of interoperable AV solutions based on SDVoE standards. Headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel, with offices worldwide, Kramer designs, manufactures and distributes network-based devices and cables for professional video-over-IP (VoIP) and audio-over-IP (AoIP) applications. Its portfolio spans AV signal management as well as cloud-based communication, collaboration and control platforms.

“Joining the SDVoE Alliance is an important step in Kramer’s ongoing mission to create frictionless, next-generation AV solutions,” said Dorit Botter, executive vice president of product and technology for Kramer. “As the AV industry continues its evolution toward standardized Ethernet-based infrastructure, we’re excited to collaborate with the Alliance to help define the future of networked AV.”

“Kramer’s decision to join the SDVoE Alliance is a strong endorsement of our mission and the accelerating momentum of Ethernet-based AV,” said Stephane Tremblay, president of the SDVoE Alliance. “Their global footprint and track record of innovation in AV-over-IP make them an outstanding addition to our community. We’re excited to welcome Kramer and look forward to the innovation they’ll bring as we grow together.”
