BURNABY, BC – October 4, 2018 – Icron Technologies Corporation, a leader in USB and video extension technology, and Angekis Technology Co., Ltd., a leading hardware manufacturer of PTZ camera systems, announced today joint product interoperability between the Saber U3D-12FHD6 USB3 HD PTZ camera and Icron’s USB 3-2-1 Raven™ extender systems.

The Saber USB3 HD PTZ camera is the world’s first USB3 camera offering a 72.5° field of view with 12x optical zoom providing simultaneous USB3 and HDMI outputs for dual display and 1080p resolution at 60 frames per second. The Saber offers many features rivalling more expensive models such as low-light detection sensing, preset camera positioning, sensitive motion control pan/tilt tuning, 3D digital noise reduction and desktop control application software. Plug and play compatible with Windows® or macOS™ operating systems and all major conferencing applications including Skype and Zoom, the Saber camera is ideal for small- to medium-size conference rooms and training centers.

Icron’s USB 3-2-1 Raven 3104 is the world’s first backward-compatible USB 3.1 extender system for up to 100m over a single CAT 6a/7 cable, making it ideal for USB 3.1 PTZ conference cameras as well as any other USB 3.1, 2.0 or 1.1 application, while the USB 3-2-1 Raven 3124 provides up to 200m extension over OM3 multi-mode fiber for applications requiring additional distance. Both models include the ExtremeUSB-C™ suite of features such as transparent USB extension true plug and play operation (no software drivers required), and are compatible with all major operating systems including Windows®, macOS™, Linux® and Chrome OS™.

“Corporations and training facilities around the world are rapidly adopting USB3 PTZ cameras to take advantage of fast throughputs, high quality resolutions and plug and play simplicity,” said Tommy Tse, founder and director at Angekis. “Often systems integrators will ask us how best to extend our cameras, especially over Category cable, and we can now advise with confidence that Icron’s USB 3-2-1 Raven extender systems are a validated accessory for Saber installations.”

“Angekis is a well-respected USB3 PTZ camera brand especially well known in Europe and Asia,” said Glenn Antonelli, Icron’s director of business management. “It was a pleasure working with Tommy and the Angekis team, and we are delighted they are recommending our USB 3-2-1 Raven extension series to their customers and integrators when additional cable distance is required.”
