New edit desks at the University of Leeds

MW Video Systems have recently provided 5 edit desks at the University of Leeds for the School of Media and Communication department.

One 2400mm wide desk and three 1800mm wide desks from the MW Video standard product range were provided.  The desks, complete with mains distribution units, are finished with black nosing and volcanic ash marmoleum worktops.

The School of Media and Communication is one of the top departments in the country for the study of communication, media and culture. With investment in new facilities needed, a specially refurbished state-of–the-art building at the heart of the Leeds campus was created. This prompted the school to look for new furniture for their new media suites.  After visiting the MW Video Systems website, contact was made and the standard edit desk range proved to offer an affordable, yet high quality solution.

“We found MW Video to meet our needs perfectly. The quality of the desk solution is first class and I would happily recommend MW Video to anybody wanting cost-effective specialist broadcast furniture”, praised Andrew Thorpe, School General Manager.

Neils scuba experience

neils-scuba experienceLast week, Neil migrated to the north of the country, visiting MW Video clients. Whilst in the area, Neil took the opportunity to look in on fellow Thinking Space colleague, Jason Gregory. After visiting Jason’s “home” office, Neil was invited along to Jason’s diving club at the local leisure centre that evening. Not only did Neil visit, he actually joined in and completed his very first try dive/scuba experience, using the full scuba gear to a depth of 12 ft.

Neil thanked Jason for his patience and excellent instruction, and as you can see from the photograph, even the Thinking Space beanie hat made an appearance underwater!

Production desk for the University of Sussex

After visiting our stand at BVE London, the team at the University of Sussex invited MW Video to their site with a view to design technical furniture for their production gallery.

The space allocated for the gallery was tight due to the depth of the room, yet the requirement to provide a production desk suitable for up to 6 operators was still achievable. After a couple of design alterations, the final layout was agreed using our bespoke ProDesk solution.

Provisions were also made to allow the desk to be extended once rack mounted legacy equipment has been removed from the room.

Dr Holroyd, Digital Developer at University of Sussex commented “The team from MW were great. All our requirements were captured during a detailed site visit and we were able to iterate the design a number of times to make sure we had the exact desk that we required. MW also invited us to their workshop so we could acceptance test the desk and finalise the position of various mounts. Overall we are really happy with the desk, the quality and the service.”
