Making an award winning program is one thing, but whether it achieves set goals and hits the the target effectively and efficiently is dependant on it being seen by the right people at the right time!

We provide interactive design, encoding, authoring and programming for DVD-5/9, DVD-R and CD-ROM using the movie industry standard Scenarist all SDI digital hardware and software system. Full color printed DVD-R and CD replication as well as VHS duplication are available in-house for short runs and we can manage long run replication out of house for you. Add to this our integration of video for the Internet and mastering to any videotape format for broadcast... and you have a pretty complete solution for getting your message out quickly and easily... and yes, HD authoring is on the way.

Our wide production capability also makes CLAi an obvious choice for projects needing motion menus, trailers, integrated advertising, and behind the scene bonus programs.
