Animation producers and other film, video and broadcast professionals will soon have dedicated editing hardware and software solutions neatly packed together through a new partnership between Austin, Texas-based BOXX Technologies Inc. and Irvine, Calif.-based ProMAX Systems Inc. BOXX will complement its range of specialized 3DBOXX workstations and RenderBOXX render nodes for vfx and animation with ProMAX’s extensive line of fully integrated video editing systems and powerful SAN storage solutions.
ProMAX will power a range of video editing systems with purpose-built BOXX workstations optimized to provide both performance and reliability when running advanced video editing applications. In addition, customers will have access to greater specialized technical support resources that will cover all the major steps of the creation process from shooting and applying computer graphics to compositing, editing and authoring.
BOXX Technologies CEO Rick Krause comments, ‘BOXX and ProMAX have perfectly complementary strategies that can be combined to deliver real value to both customer communities.’ ProMAX CEO Dan Hatch adds, ‘The timing is right to combine forces with BOXX and make a significant impact in the increasingly democratized video space.’
Dave Fish, director of intermediate and educational markets for Avid Technology, says his company is very excited about the teaming of ProMax and BOXX. ‘This new relationship takes ProMax’s system integration expertise and pairs it with one of the best PC solutions in the market,’ he remarks. ‘Solutions from Avid, our video division, and Softimage, our animation and effects division, will truly leverage the processing power of BOXX and the integration expertise of ProMax.’
BOXX and ProMAX will engage in joint marketing activities in order to leverage each other’s market and customer expertise. More information on BOXX Technologies is available at www.boxxtech.com, and ProMax Solutions is found on the web at www.promax.com.
