Avid Supplies German Broadcaster

Avid has announced that Hessischer Rundfunk, one of Germany’s leading public broadcasters, has selected its solutions to power its post-production workflow. The upgrade enables the broadcaster to benefit from the Avid MediaCentral Platform through enhanced collaboration and accelerated production.
"Hessischer Rundfunk’s investment demonstrates the growing momentum Avid is building in the European market," said Jeff Rosica, Senior Vice President Worldwide Field Operations at Avid. "By choosing Avid, Hessischer Rundfunk now has the innovative tools it needs to improve operational efficiency and quickly adapt to changes and demands in audience preferences, today and in the future."
By implementing the industry’s most open and tightly integrated workflows, including two System 5 Fusion digital audio mixing consoles and a Pro Tools®|HDX system with Interplay® integration, Hessischer Rundfunk has streamlined its production and distribution processes.
Before the upgrade, the main production facility was equipped with a Studer mixing console. The new System 5 Fusion expandable digital console now lets engineers control content from up to five digital audio workstations using a single control surface.
"With S5 Fusion, Interplay, and Pro Tools 11, Avid has established a fully integrated file-based workflow for audio post production," said Juergen Winkler, head of IT and project management at Hessischer Rundfunk.
"Our collaboration with Avid has been fantastic since the very beginning," added project manager Joachim Jacob. "Pro Tools 11 gives us the ability to import many types of video material without conversion, allowing us to work more quickly and efficiently. Plus, we are looking forward to using EUCON™ 3 with our S5 Fusion for complete hardware and software integration."
