Henninger Launches Largest DVD Production Facility On East Coast to Support Rapid Services Growth ARLINGTON, VA. (March 19) BUSINESS WIRE -March 19, 1999--Henninger Media Services Inc. unveiled a 2,000 square foot newly-refurbished editing facility here Friday, primarily designed to support the phenomenal growth in DVD production services it is experiencing. Reflecting increased demand from the corporate, entertainment and communications communities, the five-suite DVD Center is complemented by an Avid Symphony non-linear editing system suite, a Quantel EditBox Magnum suite and a dual-format Sony HDTV suite. Developed for Henninger Interactive Media (HIM), the multimedia development arm of the Henninger Media Services network, the DVD Center includes two encoding stations, two authoring stations and a graphics workstation, all from Sonic Solutions. Since its formation last year, HIM has used Sonic Solutions' DVD Creator to encode and author DVD titles supporting a wide range of production services for customers whose applications include film, music videos, corporate presentations, kiosks and training. For example, the film community has benefited from HIM technology for titles such as "Grip of Evil", a double-platform disc distributed by Fox-Lorber; a special collector's edition of "Evil Dead" featuring new footage and interviews with director Sam Raimi, distributed by Elite Entertainment; and "A Merry War" distributed by DVD International. "As our DVD business explodes, we need to be able to seamlessly integrate additional production equipment into a demanding and extremely time-driven environment," said David Newcomb, director of DVD services at Henninger Interactive Media. "Because Henninger Interactive is part of the Henninger Media Services network, we can offer services such as film transfer and color correction that yield superior results on DVD. Using DVD Creator, for example, we have been able to achieve the highest level of quality and efficiency within very tight deadlines." Henninger Interactive Media has rapidly become one of the premier DVD production facilities in the United States, with offices in Nashville, Tenn. as well as Arlington. The company's mission is to bring DVD production to its optimum level of creativity and performance and, as a result, become the delivery media of choice for film, corporate and industrial applications.
