MultiVu Selects TV Pro Gear for Post-Production Facility Move and Upgrade

Nov. 13, 2008 - PRLog -- NEW YORK, NY - MultiVu, a PR Newswire company providing broadcast and multimedia production and global distribution services to various organizations, recently chose TV Pro Gear (http://www.tvprogear.com), a leading systems integration and mobile solutions provider for the broadcast, production, and post industries, to move and then upgrade its post-production facility.

The project involves decommissioning a complete machine room and several edit rooms and relocating the equipment to MultiVu’s new Manhattan studio.  Once there, TV Pro Gear will integrate the equipment into the new facility based on plans for an improved workflow with a new layout and engineering drawings.

The design for the new workflow came from a detailed study of MultiVu’s current layout.  TV Pro Gear’s engineering team used the knowledge gleaned from this study as well as extensive interviews with MultiVu’s team to develop a solution that will improve the efficiency of the PR Company’s post-production workflow.

“With any workflow there’s always room for improvement,” said Chandos Mahon, Jr., Senior Vice President of TV Pro Gear, “We worked hard to develop a layout in MultiVu’s new facility that vastly improved the company’s efficiency while utilizing their current gear and staying within budget.”

In addition the relocation and reintegration of MultiVu’s existing equipment, TV Pro Gear worked with the company to select new equipment that will further improve its workflow.  The centerpiece of this new equipment is a Sierra Video Lassen Router that supports 32x32 HD/SD SDI, 16x16 Component, 32x32 Composite, and 32x32 Analog Audio with a Harris X75 up/down cross converter.

“We think the Sierra Lassen Router is an excellent choice for MultiVu,” said Mahon, “It is an essential piece in achieving our goal of a highly efficient workflow with a cost-effective router.”

Other new gear used in the integration of the new facility will include a Panasonic AJ-HD1400 DVCPro100 HD VTR and several JVC DT-V24L3DU HD / SD SDI LCD monitors for the edit suites.
