Crawford

Starring in a new, world-class all-digital facility, Atlanta's 20-year old Crawford Post Production is the ultimate post house for high definition. From film transfer and editorial to DVD authoring and 5.1 to HD format conversions, Crawford provides comprehensive post solutions under one roof.

TALENT
Crawford boasts a hefty staff of award-winning creative talents supported by veteran engineers and coordinating producers. They are the driving force behind Crawford's success as the Southeast's leader in full-service post for high definition and digital television.

Many staff members have been with the company 5 to 10 years or more. This depth of talent and emphasis on personal client service provides scheduling flexibility and the ability to handle large, deadline-driven projects.

FILM TRANSFER
The centerpiece of film transfer is a Philips High Definition Spirit Datacine with a da Vinci 2K HD Color Corrector. Crawford plans to soon add additional 24p upgrades to the Spirit.

EDITORIAL
Crawford has long been the Southeast's leader in full-service post for high definition and digital television. Editorial features a Quantel Henry Infinity; a Discreet HD fire*/inferno* running on an SGI Onyx 2 platform; a Softimage Digital Studio; two 601 linear rooms; an HD linear online suite; and 10 Avid rooms, most with 601 uncompressed systems. The HD Hybrid linear suite features the first Snell & Wilcox HD/SD 24p switcher in the Southeast plus Panasonic's HD D-5 24p machines and a Sony HDCAM 24p recorder. A TeraNex all-format converter provides the highest quality conversions between all SD and HD formats.

DESIGN
