Video-8 Broadcast first in Australia to buy Digital Vision's Valhall image processing system Amsterdam, September 17, 2001 - Digital Vision proudly announces the sale of their new Valhall image processing control system to Video-8 Broadcast. The deal was negotiated by Digital Vision's Australian Distributor Amtech and they are again looking forward to assisting Video- 8 fulfilling their customer requirements. Video-8 was first in Australia to take up Digital Vision's DVNR1000. Today they have three systems in operation, one of which is a full MSP system. This system is used for restoration work, while the other the two systems are used in telecine suites. "We see big opportunities to expand in the restoration area", says Kevin Hurley, Managing Director of Video-8 Broadcast. "Because of our past and present relationship with Digital Vision we have chosen the Valhall system after having evaluated all other systems available at this time", he continues, "and our intention is to remain in the forefront of 'real time' image restoration". "Video-8 Broadcast is one of our oldest Australian customers and we are glad that they are now entering into the next generation of Digital Vision's Image Processing tools", says Per-Olov Essehorn, Director of Sales at Digital Vision. "The Valhall system has drawn a lot of attention at the IBC fair in Amsterdam and I am confident that there are more orders to come", he continues. The new Valhall is on show for the first time in Europe. Valhall is the only control system that accesses the full potential of Digital Vision's new range of DVNR Image processing tools. The compact and customised Valhall offers several user-friendly advantages in function and design. The modular system allows you to add more functionality as your needs change and grow, including an upgrade path to high definition.
