Safak Studios chooses SSL’s C200 Console
Safak Studios, a video and film post production facility, has become the first facility in Turkey to invest in a Solid State Logic C200 digital production console.
Safak, which means ‘dawn’ in Turkish, was established 28 years ago by the Ustun family and attracts the majority of its work from the Turkish film and video community. It also undertakes postproduction projects for a number of national television channels and has a thriving rental business supplying audio and video equipment to the local film industry.
The decision to invest in a new digital console indicates Safak’s wider intention to attract more work from other European countries. The company has built a new audio postproduction studio to house the desk and has equipped this with state of the art Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound facilities. It also has facilities for 35mm and HD (High Definition) film post production. Turkish consultant Duyal Karagozoglu designed the new studio, with the help of local systems integration specialists Radikal Ltd.
Idris Ustun, Safak’s CEO, said: “At Safak, we like to ensure that we always use the latest technology, which is why we have chosen an SSL C200 digital production console. SSL's reputation and expertise in the field of digital audio, combined with the C200's unique features and flexible platform, very much determined our console choice. The C200’s scalability and architecture will allow us to upgrade the console in the future to encompass technological changes and developments taking place within the industry.”
Safak’s C200 was installed in June and since then staff have undergone a period of training in readiness for the opening of the new studio, which should be up and running this month.
“The C200 is an advanced console that is capable of tackling complex post production projects with ease,” Ustan added. “Yet despite its complexity, it remains very user friendly and has been easily accepted by our technical staff.”
