We design, build and configure our solutions around your specific needs and demands and make sure components used in our solutions are not only state-of-the-art but thoroughly field tested to withstand the demands of direct-to-air use.

Complete Solution Provider

We provide all the services and components needed to customize an Apple based production infrastructure that can be scaled to meet your specific requirements. Integration between other existing solutions like in-bound content servers and playout servers can also be included to provide a seamless process for your staff in getting the story out to air. We specialize on custom automation solutions to remove the more mundane steps in the production process and free up your people to be more productive and creative. All at a price point and feature set no other competing solution can provide.

Solutions to meet your needs

Our solutions are founded on a centralized storage model using Apple`s Xsan technology. This provides immediate access to content by all the editors as soon as the digital assets are created. Further automation and integration between inbound servers, like Pathfire and Bitcentral, can make this content immediately available for editing as well.

Once content is ingested into the storage, editors can collaboratively share the files and move projects much more quickly through the editing and effects process. Using the tools in Apple`s Final Cut Studio your people will be able to quickly create a high quality look that will out perform your competition. The inclusion of PC based workstations for browsing and cuts-only editing make the overall process even more efficient. Once the package is finished automation can move the file up to your playout server, Omneon or Grass Valley, or we can build a professional system using Apple`s Xservers to give you audio and video signal for broadcast. Integration with MOS based newsroom systems is also possible as well as lo-res preview browsing and cuts-only editing from PC based systems in your newsroom.

Media Asset Management is quickly becoming the most important part of a production workflow. Our solutions build off the powerful tools available in Apple’s Final Cut Server. Our team of professionals will work directly with your staff to tailor and customize these features to meet your specific needs. We will help get you up and running and keep you up to date after the initial installation.
