Forte Solutions Asia Limited, a provider of business development services in East Asia, has secured an OEM production deal for its client, Active Silicon Ltd. (UK) to supply various models of its Harrier range of AF zoom block cameras to a leading Japanese provider of pipe and underwater drone inspection systems.
Active Silicon's Harrier series of AF zoom block cameras and interface boards are capable of transmitting high-speed, high-resolution image and video data along very long cables, even over slip rings. The use of High-Definition Visually Lossless CODEC (HD-VLC™) technology means that the Harrier range of cameras and processor boards can transmit over twisted pair cables up to 150m and coax cables up to 700m, with fibre optic offering the option of many kilometres.

Alex Bird, Managing Director of Forte Solutions Asia said, “Active Silicon's excellent product lineup of block cameras and interface boards has enabled us to engage with a wide range of Japanese manufacturers from inspection solution providers such as in this case, to security and surgical related solution providers.”
Frans Vermeulen, Head of Sales & Marketing at Active Silicon said, "This customer is oriented towards the Japanese domestic market supplying solutions to local municipalities and organisations. Without the in-country representation that Forte Solutions Asia has provided, it would have been impossible for us not only to identify, but also to convert them into a production customer."
