Co-founder of AIB member Omnibus and broadcast industry veteran, Glyn Powell-Evans today confirmed both his departure from the firm which he established as a global leader in automation, and his reputation as one of the industry’s serial entrepreneurs, when he unveiled plans to launch a new venture at IBC2003.
IdeasUnlimited.tv will specialise in transmission verification and monitoring of content. It targets an urgent need among broadcasters for automated remote TV and audio-signal monitoring and Powell-Evans is predicting a price-point of as little as 5 per channel per day when the firm rolls-out its new ContentProbe suite on its IBC debut (Hall 8, Stand 536).
Powell-Evans, whose career highlights include tenures as managing director of PAG, joint-owner of PictureBox Productions and co-founder of G2 Systems before he founded OmniBus in 1992, commented: “My passion is creating and building new ventures. While I look forward to a long prosperous relationship with OmniBus, as a significant customer, I’m delighted to focus on a major new opportunity.”
