Salon Expands With Significant New Investment In Avid Products

Salon, the UK's longest established editing equipment hire company, has recently made a significant investment in new Avid systems to expand its ever increasing fleet.
The latest purchases, made directly with Avid, include six Media Composer Nitris DX systems, two Media Composer Mojo DX systems and one Avid Unity Media Network.
Nick Long, Salon Company Director, said: "The uptake of Avid's latest generation hardware has gone from strength to strength right from the word go. In fact, Andrea Arnold's latest feature 'Fish Tank' chose us to supply Nitris DX systems the very night they were launched and we have seen a steady increase ever since."
Part of the new investment is already in use and work is in progress on Louis Leterrier's Clash of the Titans which started shooting in the UK in May and is currently editing in HD on five Avid Media Composers connected to a Unity Network. In addition, Salon are also supplying DX systems to Peter Weir's The Way Back and animated feature Planet 51.
Nick said: "Right at this moment we have DX's on hire in Morocco, Bulgaria, Tenerife and, of course, London. It is an exciting time and it is just set to get busier through 2009 as we continue to invest and expand our offering."
