Harbor Picture Company extends partnership with Avid to upgrade audio post-production

Global post-production house Harbor Picture Company has extended its relationship with Avid to become the first facility in the UK to install Avid’s shared storage engines - Avid Nexis F2 SSD - for audio production.

The installation of a two-media-pack Avid Nexis F2 SSD system provides Harbor with 76 TB of storage, capable of playing back up to 10,000 audio tracks simultaneously via a 100 GbE high-speed network connection. Adding the Nexis to the existing toolset helps Harbor to meet the production requirements from the five studios of its London facility - including a theatrical Atmos suite, two Atmos Home Entertainment suites and two ADR rooms.

Harbor is an end-to-end post-production studio, specialising in feature films, episodic drama, documentary and advertising. Launched in 2012, it has facilities in London, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and Atlanta. Alongside Avid, Harbor has worked on the installation with HHB Communications - Avid’s pro audio channel partner - which has ensured all product specifications are correct for the performance and workflow Harbor wants to achieve.

Harbor’s installation of Avid Nexis F2 SSD storage engines follows the post house’s investment last year in an Avid dual-operator 48-fader S6 console, two single-operator S6 consoles and an S4 console all running Avid’s audio production software Pro Tools.

“Harbor can now run the industry-standard DAW - Pro Tools - on more than fifteen rigs across five studios, paired with the most versatile control surface range, thanks to the high-speed Eucon protocol, all while being able to move projects between different studios to suit their clients’ requirements”, says HHB Communications Chief Technology Officer John Johnson.
