DaVinci and Jigsaw Drop In Day

June 7, 2010 - PRLog -- With the release of DaVinci Resolve for the Mac OS X, Jigsaw and Blackmagic design are hosting a free drop-in day on Friday 18th June at Sound London in Leicester Square. Showcasing the product on both a Mac and Linux platform, this day provides an ideal opportunity for an in-depth look. Normally only available on a Linux platform,  the software-only Mac release starts from an almost-unbelievable £695.  

Lewis Brown, Jigsaw Broadcast Business Manager: “We've been working closely with Blackmagic for a few years now and our relationship with DaVinci has really grown. The London event will be a great showcase for the latest DaVinci products and a fantastic day for every one who attends. Resolve is the industry standard and with our expertise in the Mac market we are the only people who can offer scaleable Resolve systems for anyone.”

As the exclusive UK provider of DaVinci Resolve and Revival systems on the Linux platform, Jigsaw provide system building, integration and support services within the UK. Joining Jigsaw in a consultancy role is Gerry Vickers. Gerry has a long-standing relationship with DaVinci products having started his career as a colourist before moving to become DaVinci's sales manager in the UK for more than 10 years.

Simon Westland, Blackmagic Director of Sales:  "Jigsaw are an exceptional reseller with all the necessary attributes to provide the best level of service to our UK customers. Combining their skills with Gerry's fantastic knowledge and close customer relationships is a marriage which will serve our customers very well”.

The day will allow anyone interested in the Mac or Linux platform to get hands-on with the products, meet colourists and product professionals as well as giving a chance to chat with Jigsaw and DaVinci experts and technical staff for hints, tips and information.  Also available to check out will be 3rd party control panels and devices,  Sony Grade A Trimaster monitors  as well as seeing what DaVinci Revival – the film restoration tool – can do.
