Hamlet, the leading supplier of high quality yet affordable test and measurement equipment, has signed an agreement by which Sencore Inc. will become Hamlet's lead distributor for North and South America.

Amersham, UK, May 16, 2008 (XTVWorld.Com) -- Sencore, based in Sioux Falls South Dakota, is already a leading developer and supplier of test and measurement products across a broad range of industries. In broadcast its product line focuses largely on transport stream analysis, so Hamlet's video, audio and file-based content tools are a perfect complement.

"Hamlet has a terrific range of products right across the video line," said Al Bowden, President/CEO and co-owner of Sencore. "They won an award at NAB for the latest digital module for the Flexiscope line, they have great traditional test tools, and VidScope and ReelCheck are very innovative ways of quality checking file-based content. Their product line fits perfectly into ours, and with Hamlet's competitive pricing I know we are going to be very successful in selling for them."

"It was the perfect match of our two product lines that first attracted us to Sencore," added Steve Nunney, director of Hamlet. "But having now worked with them, even more impressive is their professional approach and the excellent spirit right across the company. They are nice people to do business with, and I am sure that together we are going to transform the broadcast test and measurement business in North and South America, with high quality, full featured and affordable products."

The new agreement came into effect on 28 April 2008.

Note to Editors:
Currently celebrating its 22nd anniversary in 2008, Hamlet Video International Limited is an English company dedicated to the design, manufacture and supply of innovative, high quality and cost-effective test and measurement equipment to the video and broadcast industries worldwide.

Hamlet has completely eliminated CRTs from its instruments, thereby removing the need for routine display recalibration and thus reducing significantly the cost of ownership of a precision instrument. With its latest devices using an all-digital internal platform, Hamlet has moved towards a calibrated-for-life test measurement, monitoring and quality control system.

Hamlet's vectorscopes and waveform monitors either use an internal precision LCD display or provide an output to either a video or a computer monitor, which can be routed to the operator's convenience. In either case the graticules are generated digitally within the device, so provides a continually reliable and accurate reference.

The company also develops test measurement, monitoring and quality control software to be used in conjunction with broadcast systems running on standard computers for the analysis of base band or file based signals. Finally, Hamlet manufactures digitally-stable signal generators as a companion to its measurement devices.
