LipSync Post Makes Blackmagic Videohub Investment

As part of LipSync Post’s recent investment program, the full service post-production facility has installed a Blackmagic Videohub 288 routing switcher to connect and manage the increasing amount of post-production equipment, including LipSync’s recently purchased Baselight grading suites.
Rick White, Head of CMR, LipSync Post, said: "We looked at routers from several manufacturers but the Blackmagic Videohub proved to be the best value for money, and with up to 288 I/O it will cope well asLipSync continues to grow."
The new integrated multi-format router connects all the machines, monitors and projectors throughout LipSync’s main Wardour Street building. Switching is operated via software on a computer in each room, enabling thesystem to be customized locally. It also offers machine control which enables easier operation.
White continues: "We had to take out the old router and cable the new one in over the space of a weekend, working through the night to ensure no downtime. It was a fairly epic task but the installation was surprisingly straightforward, with just a few teething problems that were quickly ironedout."
