Dassault Expands Video Production Operations With Lightworks Alacrity Network

The Dassault Group is best known for its excellence in the field of military and civil aviation, but the group has far-ranging interests, notably including Dassault Sytèmes, Socpress-Le Figaro and the Société de Véhicules Electriques. Such a large group requires diverse media and video production facilities which are increasingly being handled in-house by the Dassault Aviation Production Team.
The Production Team’s success with the initial Lightworks Touch based system has inevitably led to increased demand for their services, which is now being met with a new Lightworks Alacrity craft edit system. A further Alacrity unit will enter service in 2008.
Initially the Dassault Aviation system comprised a Lightworks Touch system, integrated simply and effectively with graphics production tools and a Pryamix-based sound department in a Storage Area Network (SAN) system. The new Alacrity machines are easily added to the existing SAN network, and provide the same level of no-fuss integration with the 3rd party graphic and sound systems. Alacrity support for mxf import and Quicktime and AAF import and export provides a further step forward in open interoperability.
For Dassault Aviation the ability to work in real time with mixed compression formats in HD and SD on a single timeline brings a vivid enhancement to production output and a springboard for continued growth of the team. The Alacrity systems take full advantage of Lightworks’ own Steenbeck-style controller and analogue-style audio scrubbing to deliver the unparalleled production speeds characteristic of the Lightworks family.
Lightworks architecture has always been intelligent under-the-hood. This empowers an intuitive interface, delivering unmatched speed and simplicity for edits which would be complex and demanding using other tools.
