Available in the UK exclusively through distributor Norbain, the Vectis HX range from Siemens encompasses a network keyboard, hybrid digital video recorder and H.264 software. Bridging the gap between analogue and IP, the makers say, the Vectis HX range allows for an upgrade to IP over time. Pictured: the Siemens Vectis HX keyboard.
