CT Commission First Digital PPU
Creative Technology have commissioned their first digital portable production unit. Managing director Mark Elliott underlined that while this is the first to be developed, the company's intention is to build up to half a dozen over the next 12 months.
"We are taking our lead from the broadcast world," he stated. "Although our analogue PPU's still work extremely well the new system will give us greater functionality in a smaller package, and added portability."
After extensive evaluation CT decided on the Grass Valley Kayak from Thomson as the hub of the new system. The Kayak DD 1ME (mix/effects) Digital Vision Mixer, he says is proving very popular in the rental
staging environment in the States. "Although it has the added whistles and bells, the ergonomics will be familiar to traditionalists — it's a very approachable desk."
Alongside this PPU build programme, extensive investment will be made in camera and support equipment, as well as large screen projection technology.
