Media Distributors, America’s leading distributor of professional products, systems and services for entertainment and enterprise, has become one of the select U.S. Pro Video Value Added Resellers (VAR) of Apple products, and, concurrently, has launched an editing systems rental company, “The Rental Station.” Richard Myerson, President, and Tom Evans, Senior VP, Marketing, Media Distributors, made the announcements.
Mr. Myerson said, “We are very excited to have such a close affiliation with Apple, representing the entire product and software portfolio. It’s truly a natural and complimentary outgrowth of our business. This will provide a great service to our dedicated and extensive clientele, as their production activity expands to meet the increased demand for content across multiple media outlets. These clients have fast turn around needs and wish to maintain low investment costs, while utilizing the best technology systems possible. Our Apple product sales and service, combined with our new systems rental company ‘The Rental Station,’ satisfy all of these needs. We have assembled a highly experienced team of technical, account management and operations personnel, each of whom is dedicated to our editing system sales and rental business.”
Mr. Evans added, “Considering today’s production environment, film and video professionals seek to do more with less, do it faster, and with greater flexibility. We’re committed to helping our customers navigate that dynamic. Combining Apple system sales and rental services along with our core recording media, motion picture film, disc storage, publishing and workflow business, we are able to provide a true single-source, 24/7 full service destination for them.”
Complimenting the extensive Apple pro video product line (including Mac Pro, MacBook Pro, Final Cut, etc.,), Media Distributors’ sales and rentals will also include storage and components from other leading companies, including Archion, AJA, ATTO, Ciprico, Glyph Technologies, LaCie, Primera, Rimage, and Rocstor.
