OCTAGON CSI INSTALL UNITY SYSTEM FROM TYRELL

SPORTS rights holders Octagon CSI, have chosen Tyrell to supply and support a thirteen seat Avid Unity system, making it one of the largest Unity installations in Europe.
This investment also includes over five terabytes of storage for the Unity, multiple online Media Composers, Xpress systems and Softimage|XSI.
Octagon CSI are the television division of the Octagon Group and one of the world’s largest and respected negotiators, distributors and producers of quality sports programming. A move of premises gave rise to the perfect opportunity for investment and expansion and the decision was taken to bring the post production element of the process in-house.
Mark Nicholls, Chief Engineer at Octagon CSI, said: “Upon deciding to bring the post production in-house we felt the only choice of foundation for the operation was Avid Unity. It will give us the flexibility to work on many projects simultaneously, which is essential in our day-to-day schedule.
“We chose Tyrell because from the outset we have received a level of consultancy that has been second to none. Their commitment and enthusiasm have confirmed to us that we have made the right choice.”
Mark Jackson Sales Director of Tyrell said supplying and supporting a 13-seat Unity system was an extremely exciting prospect as the scale of the installation, what he described as a “testament of improved workflow in action,” is the first of its type in Europe. (AMcE)
