SSL broker two post-production sales in France

Solid State Logic (SSL) in Oxford have brokered the sale of a 64-fader, two-operator Avant Plus digital film and post-production console for French post house Auditel.
The new console, due for delivery in spring of 2002, replaces an old SL 5000 series in Audi B, and will be used primarily for film mixing.
Auditel, part of the Teletota group – the leading French communications conglomerate – decided to purchase the Avant Plus stems from the console's success in another Teletota operation in St Ouen. There, a 56-fader, two-operator Avant, together with 32-fader version, had been widely used for posting high-profile television programmes and drama series.
Another French organisation requiring digitalised upgrades were the Institut National de l'Audiovisuel (INA), a national research institute based in Bry sur Marne. The INA installed an MT Plus digital multi-track console in Studio 238 and, besides being deployed commercially, the products will also be used for a research institute's multi-channel mixing.
The INA was originally established with a mission is to conserve and document the nation's audio-visual inheritance and to exploit the commercial potential of archives materials.
