MEDIA ITSOLUTIONs

About UsWe (Global Team Blue) have been using CineSys for many years. Their knowledge of the industry and trends are a great resource when evaluating new gear. Every purchase is thoroughly vetted and discussed to make sure it meets our needs and also that the company will be around long after the purchase.When it comes to planning and installation. This is where CineSys shines. We have upgraded our archival workflow and just recently our SAN. Either of these installations alone can cause loss of revenue to a facility. CineSys engineering helped pre-plan and execute both installations without any disruptions to our daily workflow.
