Chapel Hill, N.C. -- September 13, 2004 -- Industry veteran Steven Barlow has joined DVI Gear as president, according to a company announcement today. Barlow will head the company's operations and oversee the development and deployment of a new generation of customer-driven product solutions.

"As displays of all types proliferate, the digital connectivity market is poised for substantial growth over the next few years," said Barlow in accepting the position.
