Does it Fit?
Unlike our competition we do not believe in the "one size fits all" mentality.
You wouldn't buy a shoe that wasn't right for you, why buy a computer that cramps your style?

Each Editor has different needs, from small home studio, large commercial studio, to feature length film producers, as well as broadcast and remote. Each Videographer's needs requires sometimes a vasty different setup and budget.

With that in mind we found it impossible to individually list all possible configurations for each need and therefore have the system configurator below so that we may design a system based on your needs.

This is "Custom Built" in its truest form. We believe in giving you choices, not forcing something on you, or worse leaving out needed options. The configuator can be overwhelming and is why we strongly urge you to call us. While no choice is incompatible you may be buying more than you need or worse underpowering for your needs.

We started with some base configurations, We then prefer to guide you thru designing a custom Video Editing Workstation that meets your needs.

Operating systems: a few comments concerning this. First Windows 7 64 is now recommended for Video Editing over XP or Vista.

Windows 7 64 is working better than XP/Vista at this point with very few exceptions. Avid Liquid is one, and you really should consider changing from it.

So please call us so we may assist in guiding you through your options.

The ADK Advantage:

Newest Technology: Constant R&D allows us to consistantly deliver the latest technology first. Some of our competition is a year behind.

Performance: Ever the geeks, we are always raising the performance bar with highest quality components, BIOS tweaks and software tweaks.

Compatibility: Tested with all major video hardware and software.

Quiet: Speed is great, but it should not come at the cost of sounding like a jet engine. We are constantly developing new solutions and won't bore you with pretty graphs of the competition. The fact is unless you buy an "Iso rack" it doesn't get any quieter.

Turnkey: We install/optimize your video hardware and software for free* (even if you didn't buy it from us), and then include a disk image of it as configured so you can restore your system in 10 minutes.

Support: Lifetime support for both hardware and software, by people who use the software.

Warranty: Again we give you choices. Up to 2 years inclusive with Express pick up. This includes your video hardware (if you bought it from us), and shipping damage protection. We will not tell you "we are NOT responsible for shipping damage" as some of our competition will.

The Standard: Often copied but never duplicated. Too many times what we implement is then seen duplicated on our competitors websites a few weeks or months later (this is also why we hide a few things now).

Personal: For us it's a labor of love. We take what we do and our customers very personally. You are not a sales number to us, but rather a client who we develop relationships and oft times friendships with over the years. Read about the love that goes into your system here
