AbelCine announced the opening of a 12,500-square-foot Development Center located in Brooklyn’s Industry City. The new facility is home to AbelCine’s expanding engineering, product development and integration units and will serve as a hub of innovation within the company.
“Evaluating new technologies and adapting them to the needs of the production and broadcast communities has always been at the heart of what we do as a company,” said Pete Abel, CEO of AbelCine. “With the opening of our new Development Center, we are greatly expanding our capabilities in this regard, which ensures creatives can always rely on us to help them navigate the next big thing.”
AbelCine’s Development Center features an engineering lab where products are designed to address specific technical needs within the industry. Thanks to AbelCine’s unique position as an equipment provider and technology leader, the company is able to identify limitations of traditional gear and develop effective solutions. AbelCine’s successful line of Cameo camera accessories and resolution analysis charts is an example of this approach. With expanded design, prototyping, machining, and manufacturing capabilities in house, AbelCine will continue to work with industry partners to bring innovative products to market.
AbelCine’s Solutions Group, another key component of the Development Center, has an expanded base of operations for integration design, assembly, and staging, as well as ample space for project management, technical collaboration, and administration. This will enable the company to take on more complex assignments, and collaborate on integration projects utilizing emerging imaging and media technologies.
“We are excited to a be a part of the creative community at Industry City,” said Jonathan Epner, director of market development at AbelCine. “Since our range of knowledge and experience encompasses traditional broadcast and production, as well as exciting new mediums, such as VR and 360 imaging, we see ourselves as a resource for any media company looking to maximize the impact of new technology on their creative projects.”
AbelCine’s Development Center is currently open to their customers and business partners by appointment only from Monday through Friday from 9am to 6pm, while all other locations continue to operate under normal business hours.
