Some of our Blackmagic customers include:
We have worked with Serendipity for more than 10 years now. Working closely with Serendipity during this time has helped us improve our overall prepress workflow and streamlined our processes.
We output to multiple digital and conventional devices using our Blackmagic cluster as a ripping hub. With a prepress department of 30+ users, the Serendipity Client/Server architecture allows us to centralise our processes using a common rip for consistent output, regardless of whether it's very large format digital production, proofing, or conventional print."
