The May 2010 Audio Media magazine cover illustrates 2 giants – the ‘Clash of the Titans’ movie and De Lane Lea.

The stories inside reveal two major results powered by AMS Neve kit:-

The final dub for the CotT movie was done by Mike Prestwood Smith & Mark Taylor at Pepper Post in London – on their USP-equipped DFC.

The De Lane Lea story details the ‘refresh and re-boot’ of the facility following the unfortunate fire in 2009. The Neve DFC’s feature heavily in the chosen equipment list, with particular reference to the (USP) double XSP engine now used in Studio 1.

ITV have ordered five AudioFile SCX upgrades and a 24 fader DMC console to equip their London Studios facilities for HD / 5.1 capability.  The DMC has been installed in a brand new dubbing room and the SCX upgrades are being integrated into their existing Logic 1 and Logic 3 consoles which are still going strong after over 15 years use.

The SCX upgrades will give ITV compatibility with the latest Avid and Protools software via AAF interchange. In addition, they have been specified with Blu-ray burners and Solid State Drives as well as SCSI drives. The 4 bay housings  enable up to 4 x 2 1/2″ SATA drives to be mounted. These can be super-fast Solid State Drives or 300Gb 10000rpm hard drives. The SCSI housing will enable ITV to still use their existing hard drives during the change-over period.
