Avid Reviews Successful Solutions

A company that creates digital audio and video technology has announced that a number of the most prestigious productions have recently selected Avid's solutions to enhance productivity, streamline workflows and facilitate HD production.
Some of the customers to leverage Avid solutions include: C2K, Clair, Eurosport, FotoKem, Maryland Public Television, Perth Theatre Trust, Sendai Television, The Colbert Report, University of Las Vegas (UNLV) and UTV.
In order to achieve a studio-grade production workflow while working in the field, The Colbert Report selected Avid Media Composer Mojo DX solutions for its recent broadcast from Iraq.
During a two-day and four-episode location shoot from Camp Victory in Baghdad, the Colbert production team created a makeshift postproduction studio equipped with a total of four Media Composer systems for both editing and playback.
The team was able to deliver studio-quality programming as a result of the systems real-time effects processing and audio ingest and playout features.
FotoKem, a full service post production and rental facility in Burbank, California, recently upgraded its fleet of Avid solutions to help clients working on television shows such as Californication, Dancing with the Stars, Make It or Break It and 10 Things I Hate About You.
The team added multiple Avid Unity shared storage, Media Composer Nitris DX and Symphony Nitris DX systems to smoothly share files and enhance productivity during the editorial process.
"The Dancing with the Stars production team requires a high-performance editing workflow to keep pace with the rigors of reality show production," said Jon Mauldin, Director of Technology and Support at FotoKem.
"Using an end-to-end Avid workflow within the show's tapeless environment, DWTS' creative team is able to ingest HD footage directly into the edit bays during live, multi-camera broadcasts.
"The team can begin editing immediately to ensure broadcast production deadlines are met, while maintaining the quality of the programming," he said.
Additionally, editors at FotoKem's Keep Me Posted facility are able to view and cut footage as it arrives to create dailies for Make It or Break It using an Avid workflow.
Shot on Sony's EX3 XDCAM HD camcorder, media is brought in via Avid's AMA for output from the Symphony Nitris DX system, giving editors a head start on editing by providing direct access to file-based video without having to move, import or transcode media.
