Since its inception, Skywalker Sound has always been on the forefront of technology. We
were one of the pioneers of digital editing systems, developing with our sister company,
the SoundDroid and EditDroid. We created the first biphase codec that allowed us to
synchronize our playback machines with film projectors hundreds or thousands of miles away.
Presently, we have a fibre channel infrastructure that allows sharing of files and data
quickly and easily throughout the Technical Building and around the world.
An editor can work on a session in a private suite using one of our 80 ProTools digital
audio editing systems while the mixers are mixing the exact same material on of our
six dubbing stages. Simultaneously, another editor can browse our proprietary library
of more than 100,000 unique sound effects to find just the right sound.
This can all be done while we seamlessly connect the mix stage remotely to anyone with
an internet connection using the
APT WorldNet Skylink,
a device that represents the culmination of a joint development program between APT and
Skywalker Sound. In addition to the Skylink, we provide Dolby®FAX via ISDN Telestream,
FTP, Digidelivery, Polycom view stations, and Conduit.
Our Scoring Stage offers the best of analog and high bit rate digital by maintaining
in house the best selection of microphone pre-amps of any studio, and a wide range of
converters for multichannel 24 bit/192k recording and editing.
The Scoring Stage also has the ability to connect to any stage or editing suite in the
building or anywhere in the world using the APT WorldNet Skylink technology.
Cinema Systems
Skywalker Sound's speaker designs are the results of years of testing by our
award-winning sound designers, mixers and engineering staff. A new sound quality
standard was developed through designing our speaker systems from scratch, using
the best components available anywhere in the world.
