Cameras

We have a multitude of professional broadcast cameras in both standard defintion and High Definition formats. The majority of the cameras we use are from the Sony Broadcast range. Our Sony cameras can capture in very low light and produce broadcast quality pictures even under the most difficult conditions.They range in size from the large DSR range of cameras to a small wild-life HD camera the size of a lady's handbag. These are the cameras often used in documentaries, and television programmes such as changing rooms hosted by the BBC. They are chosen because of the limited space and for the "hand-held" segments which appear more and more in today's TV programmes.

Editing Equipment

One of the main differences between amateur video and professional video is the perceived video quality. Most amateur videos are not processed digitally and when they are they are often rendered in software resulting in quantizsation of the image making it appear blocky. The professional video prouction teams use editing suites that encouporate dedicated hardware to accomplish the rendering process making the image crisp and clear. The dedicated hardware can also process special effects better that appear more refined than the course software algorithms.

We have several editing suites and all have dedicated hardware support. We also use professional editing software that allows use to use a multiude of different time lines for sound and image processing such that most of the current visual effects can be recreated.
