Besides recently moving to a new premises in Sydney, Australian production facility ARC EDIT also decided to set up ARC FILM, its new dedicated film company.
Looking to upgrade its technology facilities and offerings, ARC EDIT turned to Digistor, which helped to acquire another two Avid NEXIS NAS (Network Attached Storage) systems, bringing ARC EDIT’s NXIS systems to four.
Joe Perkins, Co-owner of ARC EDIT, said, “In truth, most long form projects require their own dedicated NEXIS and workflows, so this very much was a key requirement.
“We also used Digistor to rebuild and upgrade the server room in our new Alexandria facilities. Digistor’s expertise was key in building a dedicated 25GB fibre network that could comfortably handle 4K, HDR and Dolby Vision files in our DI, online and VFX departments.”
ARC FILM’s Sydney studio also contains five premium Avid offline suites and four large support rooms comfortable enough for multiple assistant seats or production spaces, allowing ARC Edit and ARM Film to handle, manage and work with almost any kind of footage and format.
Perkins added, “As our editing solutions doubled to number over 30 Avid offerings, Digistor also built us a 10GB Ethernet network which further helps our entire operation to run smoothly and seamlessly.”
As a result of its investment, ARC EDIT is able to colour Dolby Vision (HDR) workflows and monitor the audio in 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos simultaneously. This intentional technology-based approach also means that ARC EDIT can grade and finish all kinds of traditional, online, social and digital productions.
Perkins said, “We put a great deal of thought into our technology offering. As a result, amongst other things, we are able to offer HDR finishing for commercials, do all kinds of VFX jobs with multiple looks and feels, and handle every size and shape of production.”
