Illumination Entertainment needed to rapidly expand its production capacity, which
created the need for shared resources at the company. Additional edit bays came online,
and there was a greater need for editors to be able to quickly swap in and out of the
review suite for dailies. After researching the KVM options available on the market to
address their problem, Illumination Entertainment looked to Adder to address their
connectivity challenges.



"Using the AdderLink Infinity products, our editors are now able to setup for dailies
or a review session on their Avid systems in their edit bay and then bring up that system
in the review suite without interrupting any other sessions," said Joe Stevano,
Illumination Entertainment, IT director. "Adding Adder's digital KVM switching solution to
our editorial infrastructure has given us increased flexibility in working on multiple
productions."



"The post production environment has always been an ideal environment for the
deployment of our IP-based high performance KVM solutions," said Tim Conway, vice
president, Adder Corp. "We are pleased to have worked with the Illumination Entertainment
team and succeeded in addressing their workflow challenges. The AdderLink Infinity
solution also positions the company for future scalability and upgradability in production
capacity."
