Adobe suggests switching to HP Workstations for Premiere Pro

Jon Walton has brought some of the biggest names in the music business to our screens, including The Killers, David Bowie, Alt-J, Kings of Leon, and Paul Weller. Working on multi-cam music shows for the likes of Channel 4, ITV2, NBC, and the Sundance Channel, his production company, My Little Eye TV, requires hardware capable of supporting high-performance editing software. But recently they found themselves at a crossroads, where they realised they'd have to upgrade their aging software and hardware to improve their productivity and maintain industry leadership.
