MCMILLAN TO INSTALL NEW AVID DS SYSTEM

BROADCAST specialists, McMillan, are working with post-production company Finishing Post to install the newly arrived AVID DS Version 4.0.
The installation is leading edge and likely to make Finishing Post one of the first post-producers in the country, with the ability to transfer projects and media between a Media Composer and the new DS system.
Formed in October 1998, Finishing Post have gained a reputation for high quality work in both the broadcast and corporate markets. As well as regular broadcast work, their portfolio includes post-production for conference companies dealing with major Blue Chip companies such as Honda, TNT, Peugeot, Jaguar, Unilever and Glaxo-Wellcome.
The new capabilities in v4 will help the company to realise a superior return on investment and greater profitability for system utilisation. The system incorporates a number of features new to editors and digital artists providing them with unlimited opportunities for experimenting with, and fine-tuning within, their creative environment. Key features available in v4 include remote processing capabilities, expanded interoperability with other Avid systems, OMF audio for tighter integration with the Digidesign Pro Tools system, faster and more effective conforming with OMFi compositions and support for Softimage XSI software on the same system. The extended workgroup support provides the ability to share DS media across projects, import sequences and clips from remote machines and automatically outsource effects to third-party applications.
