VECTORBOX offers different models catering for individual channel requirements and budgets, from the VECTORBOX DSX for smaller channels up to the VECTORBOX 6000 and VECTORBOX 8000 for premium SD and HD applications. All our systems share the same advanced software features down to the last detail.

VECTORBOX systems follow the broadcast tradition by using the very best hardware available. Systems are often judged by outside appearances, but we are meticulous about what goes inside every VECTORBOX. All hardware is not equal and we have discarded hundreds of components to establish a hierarchy of quality and compatibility that both we and our customers can rely on for years to come.
