BURBANK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- AZCAR Technologies Incorporated acquired a controlling interest in Matchframe Video, LLC of Burbank, California. Matchframe Video is a well established full-service media company serving motion picture, television and multimedia clients.

"It is our intent to quickly build Matchframe Video into a center of excellence for creation and distribution of all forms of media," says Gavin Schutz, President and COO of AZCAR. "We intend to provide these services to mid-level or smaller clients who currently are not able to be serviced by the large, 'factory based' postproduction facilities. By having access to AZCAR's deep technical resources, Matchframe will be able to provide very sophisticated media services optimized to our client's specific needs."

"We're going to focus on our customers - and solutions to their media content needs," says Marvin Rich, CEO of Matchframe. "AZCAR specializes in building high-technology based content manufacturing and repurposing facilities. This will give our clients access to sophisticated technologies and workflows by providing them with innovative and cost effective media content programming solutions. Our emphasis will be on customer service and technical excellence."

By gaining access to AZCAR's sophisticated engineering, workflow management, consulting and system design services, Matchframe will provide a complete range of content management services such as library management, content manufacturing and repurposing, and disaster recovery to its global client base, as well as transport and delivery services. This will allow Matchframe to expand into new markets.

"We will continue to provide the highest level of episodic television and studio media services," says Rich. "We will also be providing a full range of new media services including media preparation, metadata and asset management, hosting, transport and delivery of new media content."

Matchframe Video has been a staple in the Hollywood postproduction community for over 25 years. The company started out with two offline bays and has developed into a full-service, high-definition facility, providing clients with a wide variety of workflows and finishing solutions for projects shot on film, data, RED camera, HD and standard definition. Matchframe's expanding services include Avid and Final Cut Pro rentals, online, audio, telecine, visual effects and graphics, file-based technologies (encoding, transcoding and file management) and digital restoration, as well as DVD and Blu-ray mastering and all duplication.
