Actually, We don’t require the whole Adobe Production Suite on all 8 Workstations. It’s just 8 Adobe Premiere CS6 with Media Encoder and a single After Effects that is going to be procured.

I think the price of Premiere Pro CS6 is around USD 800, while Avid Media Composer 6 is around USD 2500.

So it’ll be like, USD 6400 vs USD 20,000 just for the Editing Software.
On top, Storage and Accessories. Avid ISIS storage also seem’s to have a huge price tag on it.

In addition, Our previous experience with Avid is that, if we buy their software, we need their Storage and play out.. and so on for a smooth compatible usage.
We had to buy, 2x Lanshare for Media Storage, and the the play out (ONAIR system) we had wasn’t compatible with Avid Files. Each clip had to be transcorded. So finally we bought 2x Avid Airspeed as play out to AIR.

Prices were high and we couldn’t upgrade there after, or even get a NRCS/DNRS. People had difficulty integrating other systems to it.

That’s the reason why we are looking for a cheaper solution.
