Burbank, Calif., April 25, 2000 -- Time Telepictures, a division of Warner Bros., has selected the new AMS Neve Libra Live Series II console for two of its studios within its fully digital production facility. One Libra Live Series II will be installed in an existing studio, Studio A, and a second will be housed in the new Studio B. The consoles will be used for live-to-tape audio production on such Time Telepictures' programs as Extra, Change of Heart, and Street Smarts.

Time Telepictures did an extensive search for the right console, looking at equipment from SSL, Calrec, and StageTec. However the AMS Neve console offered exactly what the facility requires:

"We've wanted to get a digital board in here for some time," said Patrick Brennan, Director of Engineering, Time Telepictures Television. "We felt that the Libra Live Series II offered us the most flexibility and ease of use. We were impressed with the audio quality, AMS Neve's overall reputation for pristine audio, as well as their reputation for building durable consoles. AMS Neve has a lot of consoles out there that have been around for quite some time."

Brennan was also impressed with AMS Neve's close-by technical support, and its service center available 24 hours a day in Los Angeles.

The new Libra Live Series II in Studio A replaces an existing Sony analog board and installation is expected to be completed in early August of this year. Studio B's system will be up and running in late June.

National Teleconsultants, Inc., a systems integration firm, is performing the engineering, designing and implementation of the consoles into Studios A and B for Time Telepictures.

The AMS Neve Libra Live Series II digital broadcast console launches at NAB 2000 and is the latest digital console from AMS Neve. Libra Live Series II follows the success of the Libra Live, a console used by broadcasters worldwide 24 hours a day.
