In the early years, our main focus was on post production systems.
ImMIX VideoCube, the real-time non-linear editing system that broke
new ground worldwide, was popular with Finnish users. The new millennium saw us successfully venturing into supplying TV technology
to cruise ships. As our skills base developed further, we were able to
expand our offering to cover different systems from production to distribution. Our staff members’ joint experience from different areas of
production has also helped us to better understand our clients’ needs.
TV technology has been developed in a more user-friendly direction,
while on the other hand, the background systems are now more complex and integrated in myriad ways. Many of our customers are
not willing to commit their own resources into the support of
such systems.
Inspired by feedback received from customers, we began the planning of support services in the middle of
2000s. Our aim was to offer a fast, high-quality service and familiar contacts to our customers. In the
same way as in our project services, our support
service was initially focused on post production
systems. We developed support routines and
a proprietary support system. Documentation
standards, which had been established as part
of our project work, and the launch of our internal training programme created a sound base for
the development of support services. Today, our
support services cover a range of different setups
from single workstations to extensive production
systems.
Our objective continues to be to offer modern solutions supported by a local support service.

Post production systems have played a central role in the history of TV Tools. Networked systems followed
individual post production workstations. The tapeless environment brought more versatile workflows, but
it also created new challenges in the backup and archiving of material. Production and playout systems are
becoming increasingly integrated. Media management systems make it easier to manage ever-growing
