NMR adds Alias|Wavefront's Maya to broadcast portfolio

New Media Research, one of the UK's leading providers of integrated solutions to the digital content creation and streaming industries, have announced their appointment as a reseller for Alias|Wavefront's Maya – with particular focus on Mac OS X.
The move into the 3D animation market provides clients with a complete end-to-end broadcast solution – from high-end video and graphics tools, to leading manufacturers such as Media 100, Discreet, Apple and Adobe.
Harry Grinling, managing director at NMR, said: "We are thrilled to be working with Alias|Wavefront and look forward to enhancing our product portfolio with what is widely regarded as the number one 3D application in the industry. The availability of Maya on Mac OS X is an exciting proposition for many of our clients who are looking for a cost-effective, best-of-breed 3D solution."
Kim Brennan, entertainment channel manager for Alias|Wavefront, said: "I feel it's a great partnering for us both. New Media Research is an established, key Apple solutions expert, with the in-depth knowledge and skill-set required to really propel Maya as the undisputed leader of 3D on the Macintosh. "
NMR have since sold their first Maya OS X to MotionFX – a post-production facility working for the leading corporate broadcast and broadcast clients, corporate markets including BBC, Channel 4, Carlton, and others.
Working with technology partners that are leaders in their field – Media 100, Pinnacle, Apple, Adobe, Convera, IBM, Alias, and Discreet – NMR provide tailored solutions for digital video production companies (broadcast and corporate), graphics, education and streaming media applications.
