PINEWOOD STUDIOS’ ENDURING PARTNERSHIP WITH HHB YOU NEED WORLD CLASS SUPPORT


Adrian Biddle Theatre


UPGRADING TO AVID S6 In recent years we have made a conscious effort to homogenise the audio set-up across the Group. A key part of this has been the


replacement of Avid S5 mixing consoles - and even older legacy controllers such as ICON - with the Atmos-capable, modular Avid S6 mixing system. This year, Avid S6s have gone


into Shepperton’s Theatre One and Adrian Biddle Theatre, to ensure both our team of staff Re- recording mixers and freelance Re-recording mixers brought in by productions, can be instantly familiar with the mixing console in all our Theatres.


A LONG PARTNERSHIP I’ve worked with HHB throughout all of my almost 19 years with the Pinewood Group. I originally started out as a Re- recording mixer at Shepperton and during the time since, we have installed many Avid Pro Tools systems and various control surfaces, all supplied by HHB. In the last five years


there has been a rollout of the Avid S6 console to replace both the Euphonix S5 and older Digidesign controllers. HHB supported all of these


console migrations and enabled Pinewood Post to become one the first facilities to adopt an ‘in-the-box’ workflow. We’ve just bought our 13th S6 and although the aim has been to have a more homogenised approach, with the same equipment and technology - Avid Pro Tools and Avid S6 - in all our theatres, there is still the flexibility to satisfy specific requirements. We often host freelance mixers with specific console layout requirements, and we can accommodate that because of the Avid S6’s modularity. HHB has played a major part


in our adoption of the Avid S6. Whenever I ask Paul [Sisley] to get a new Avid S6 - or anything in fact - he always asks if he can get if from HHB, which is a testament to how HHB supports us and what they do. I certainly expect HHB to be involved in any future installations for Pinewood Post.”


PAUL SISLEY HEAD OF POST PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY “A major part of the installations at Pinewood Post is the Avid MTRX interface for routing and monitoring. This is fully modular and allows us to customise the set-up with specific I/Os. This can be MADI, DigiLink, AES3, Dante, 3G-SDI and others. Whenever we install an S6, we install an MTRX as well. Another


important element in our installations is the studio furniture supplied by Frozen Fish Design. Their Bucket system allows us to move complete consoles around to meet the needs of each production. A lot of post-production is

has been consistent and is very much still there.”
