Sony, Canon, etc. HDCAM and Digi Beta crewing and post services in Asia - India.
We provide the widest range of facilities available in South Asia.
Years back, we started using the first High Definition cameras in north India, with our Sony HDW F900 HDCAM's. We now have a range of Canon Hi Def lenses (HJ21, HJ11's and the longest portable lens in the world - the HJ40 X 14), a pair of HDW 730S, a HDCAM Sony HDW M2000 recorder, a HD post-production solution, and the ability to create an entire feature film on HD, from concept to master... More recently, we're also pushing HDV as a low-cost HD option.
Apart from Hi Def, we have over a dozen Digi Beta cameras, including new DVW 790WSP's and VTR's for the following formats - Beta SX PAL & NTSC, Digi Beta NTSC & PAL, Beta SP PAL & NTSC, Betacam PAL & NTSC, DVC Pro 50 and IMX PAL and NTSC.
We're in the process of currently setting up India's first factual programming channel, a sort of South Asian answer to Discovery or NGC. We are also developing a global stock footage and stills sales portal, along the lines of Corbis or Getty, utilizing our 750, 000 stills and broadcast archive of 3500 hours, which together make us the largest stock footage resource in the world, on South Asia.
