    Can anyone enlighten me as to the above? I’m looking for someone who can supply a pre-configured FCP system in Las Vegas – preferably for sale, but would consider rental. I would need Kona LH, full SD setup really – probably running off internal SATA array, or external eSATA.

    Any help/contacts appreciated – many thanks in advance.

    Moo.

    ProMax is in california and one of the top resellers in the nation. They set me up with a full FCP system and I’m in Atlanta. Excellent support after the sale too.

    Walter & David – thank you as always.

    The Promax name comes up so often here that I have already given it to the boss. I only wondered if their was someone more local who could offer on-site support if required. I expect Promax could offer good support anyway.

    Normally we would ship a system over for work in the US. Right now all the stand-alone systems are out on hire (FCP is booming in the UK) and the HD systems are pre-installed in our HD truck (btw – have a look at our main suite in the truck at https://www.editecuk.com/editsuite2_op_800x531.jpg ) so it seems a good idea to get a new system, when the job is not too critical, and ship it back when we’re finished – saves a lot of money with the exchange rate as it is. Of course there are some risks, but I have a fallback and a cloned system drive from home, so it seems a reasonable thing to do.

    If we can’t make this option work, I’ll get straight in contact with you David – a useful contact for the future for sure.

    Many thanks

    Many thanks for your reply. You appear to be a facilities company – are you also a reseller? We are working for a UK broadcaster in Vegas, so do not need any other production services.

    Let me know – It would be useful to have a Vegas contact, as we are there usually twice a year.

    Thanks for all the responses and new contacts. We have now purchased a system from Promax (the job is actually next week!) so we are all set.

    We do a lot of our purchasing in the US anyway (what with the exchange rate) so it’s great to hear from everyone.

    Thanks again.
