The forthcoming Media Composer 5 software from Avid <\/p><\/div>\n

ACE has been built to support the demand Avid has seen from its customers for a central European location where they can receive training, access the full range of Avid products and view solutions and workflows in a real working video and audio environments.<\/p>\n

Substantial investment<\/strong><\/p>\n

ACE took 12 months to plan and build at a cost approaching \u00a31.5 million. Avid partnered with other manufacturers including: Think Logical who supplied a state of the art fibre-based routing system for video, audio and user interfaces and Panasonic, who supplied seven 65-inch plasma screens. Other key suppliers were Absolute CAD who installed and configured over 27km of cable and Evertz who supplied multiview display technology and HD SDI router.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a great investment for us,\u201d said Paul Hennessy, vice president of sales for EMEA. \u201cWe\u2019ve really thought about the best way for our customers to receive the highest level of training and support as well as how to showcase our full range of products to our customers in workable environments that they\u2019re familiar with. We feel that ACE really fulfils this need.\u201d<\/p>\n

To coincide with the opening of ACE, Simon Sherbourne has been appointed as audio application specialist. Based in Pinewood, Sherbourne will be responsible for building and maintaining relationships with Avid\u2019s professional audio clients. He has over 14 years experience in the industry having worked previously as technical support at Digidesign and as a Pro Tools\/ICON trainer for the BBC, Granada and Talkback Thames. Most recently Sherbourne worked as a mixer re-versioning foreign language films for Disney\/Pixar.<\/p>\n

A well established player in the Scottish postproduction and broadcast scene, M8media will run courses starting from July at its new custom-built facility in Glasgow, on the edge of the city\u2019s new Pacific Quay Media Park. \u201cThis is a first for Scotland,\u201d said Jim Allison, Managing Director. \u201cAs well as being a busy post facility, we are about to start running all the Avid Media Composer courses.\u201d<\/p>\n
