JVC Backs Windmill Hill

A creative post production company that specialises in producing television shows, commercials and films, Windmill Lane has been boosted.
The Dublin-based firm purchased seven DT-V24L1D 24" LCD monitors and five DT-V17L2D 17" LCD monitors from JVC, plus two JVC DLA-RS20 projectors, to standardise their editing and grading suites as part of a multi-million Euro refurbishment programme.
Windmill Lane is currently in the middle of moving to a purpose-built refurbished facility in Dublin 2, and JVC equipment plays a major part in the new building.
"We spent plenty of time bench-testing equipment ready for the refurbishment as this was an ideal time to look at our technical setup,” John Brady, Technical Director at Windmill Lane explained.
"We are starting to standardise our monitors and projectors to JVC, as they offered a great improvement on predecessors and our clients are very happy with the results."
Windmill Lane's new DT-V24L3D and DT-V17L3D monitors chosen, supplied by Eurotek, are professional native HD production monitors, compatible with multiple HD and SD formats.
The company has also updated its two grading rooms with two DLA-RS20 projectors, which offer a 50,000:1 native contrast ratio and almost silent performance.
"The new projectors are great in our Baselight rooms since they provide the best representation for our clients when viewing their work; everything looks perfect when it comes up on the screen," John continued.
He explained that the new DT-V monitors have been placed in refurbished editing and graphics suites.
"We liked the monitors' built-in waveform feature, and they are sleek and very simple to operate via front panel controls.
"Having tested a great deal of screens for best price and performance, I am very happy with our choice," he concluded.
