Film and Video Production Facilities

We have been contracted for the design of a number of film and video post-production facilities. Some of these facilities required Dolby surround playback monitoring and have equipment for 35mm and 17mm film projection. These facilities dub the voice and effects for videos and film and some of them required folly stages for the addition of real effects. As expected, the studios and control rooms have stringent acoustic requirements for noise level, and the Reverberation Time cannot vary by more than five percent from the specified Dolby standard. The sound systems for monitoring must be equalized to the standard calibrated curve for cinema sound reproduction facilities.

Some of Our Film and Video Post-Production Projects

Video Head Quarters (VHQ) Kuala Lumpur, MALAYSIA

Turnkey design including acoustics, civil work, and mechanical & electrical services for one audio post-production studio and control Room at Damansara Heights, Kuala Lumpur. The equipment included a DAR Soundstation digital workstation, and JBL 4412 monitor speakers.

TAPS Recording (Subsidiary of Rediffusion Group)

Turnkey design including architecture, acoustics, civil work, and mechanical and electrical services for two post-production studios and control rooms for film and video in Taman Tun, Malaysia. The equipment for the video studio was supplied by Transtel Technology and included the AMS Audiophile digital workstation, a Soundcraft 6000 console and JBL 4412 monitor speakers.

The equipment for the film dubbing studio was supplied by Kinematronika Sdn. Bhd. and included JBL 600 theater surround system monitors, MagnaTech film projectors and Magnatech film audio recorders. The complete film system also had SMPTE synchronization with an Otari 24-track recorder for extra audio tracking capability.

TATIK Industries Sdn. Bhd.

This was a facility for audio post-production for the music industry. Tatik is a major cassette duplication company in Malaysia whose clients include EMI and WEA. They asked us to design a mastering control room for them so that adjustment of previously mixed productions from their clients could be verified and altered if required before mass duplication.

The facility is located at Taman Shamelin Perkasa, Kuala Lumpur and the control room is on-line to the duplication factory for instant quality checking. The monitoring equipment includes Studer recorders, a DDA console, and Studer monitor speakers.
