[Avid-L2] PR: Digital Service Station® expands into Canada!

 


Digital Service Station® expands into Canada!

A Toronto post-production company offers a new service to help
independent film makers and production companies who wish to edit
projects in-house. Al Mitchell, president of PPD – Post Producers
Digital, announced this week that PPD has become the first Digital
Service Station® <http://www.digitalservicestation.com/> in Canada.

The simple "You Shoot/We Capture, You Edit/We Deliver" concept
behind Digital Service Station®
<http://www.digitalservicestation.com/> was created by Terence Curren,
president of AlphaDogs in Burbank California. Curren explains that
"with today's technology many producers are editing their
projects in-house, however they sometimes lack the technical expertise
and equipment to ingest and output their projects. That's where the
media transfer specialists at Digital Service Station come in."

With locations in the United States and now Canada, Digital Service
Stations capture or transcode camera source material to Avid or Final
Cut edit-ready media. When the project has been edited and is ready to
record or export to videotape or other delivery formats they have the HD
and SD machines, encoders and test equipment to ensure a smooth delivery
process. They take all the worry out of SD, HD and file-based captures,
laybacks and exports. All clients need to do is shoot and edit.

Many producers who are editing in-house may not realize that there are
resources they can use to take their production to the next level. By
working with the experts at a Digital Service Station®
<http://www.digitalservicestation.com/> producers can add a lot of
production quality to their shows without having to edit their entire
project at an outside post house. Mitchell explains that "clients
bring us projects which are fully edited but may need advanced colour
correction or other finishing tools which they don't normally have
access to. For broadcast projects our experienced editors will check
video and audio levels to ensure they meet stringent broadcast
specifications. One of the key advantages is that producers traveling to
different cities in North America can rely on the technical expertise
and high quality of HD and SD equipment at each local Digital Service
Station to get the job done". Toronto is also the first Digital
Service Station location to offer services for Stereoscopic 3D editing.
