-------

Years back, we started using the first High Definition cameras in north India, with our Sony HDW F900 HDCAM's. We now have over a hundred Canon and Fujinon Hi Def and SD lenses, dozens of HD cameras including HDW 730S, HDW 750P and HDW F900's, HDCAM Sony players and recorders, HD post-production solutions, Panasonic Varicam DVC Pro HD and the ability to create an entire feature film on HD, from concept to master... More recently, we're also pushing HDV and XDCAM HD as lower-cost tapeless HD options.

Apart from Hi Def, we have a wide inventory of Digi Beta, XDCAM and HDV camera units and VTR's of virtually every format and standard in use worldwide.

We're in the process of currently setting up India's first factual programming channel, a sort of South Asian answer to existing factual content plays. We are also developing a global stock footage and stills sales portal, along the lines of Corbis or Getty, utilizing our 750, 000 stills and broadcast archive of 4000 hours, which together make us the largest stock footage resource in the world, on South Asia. Among other awards, we won the "Incredible India Award" in 2006 and the "National Tourism Award" in 2007, for the best tourism film made in India in 2007.
