Philadephia-based production company CCI Communications is aiming to speed up its multiplayer compositing with Media 100's 844/X editing system.
The companies said CCI will use 844/X to integrate show opens and and bumpers, transition effects, typography effects and special highlight segments.
CCI had been maintaining linear editing suites, said Ken Sellinger, CCI president and owner. "But to stay competitive, we needed a faster way to produce multiplayer content," he said.
The company will network 844/X with Media 100's iFinish system. iFinish can create graphics bins that can be imported into 844/X, and can take files from 844/X for mastering to DVD or CD-ROM or delivery as MPEG files.
CCI's projects include "Inside Golf," a 30-minute television series produced with the Philadelphia section of the PGA as well as sports broadcasts developed for area universities. The company owns its own studio and mobile production truck and shoots and finishes corporate and industrial pieces.
