Pipeline Consulting
We are the digital media experts when it comes to pipelines, infrastructure, servers, storage and networking. StudioCloud was designed to meet the strict security guidelines set out by the Motion Picture Association (MPA), and CDW’s facilities are monitored and managed 24/7/365.
Technical Support
CDW has manufacturer-certified technical resources with over 50 years of combined experience in TV, VFX, games and feature animation production. Additional support services include system architecture and design visualization, as well as frontline software support.
