  • 7 High Definition AVID editing systems

DCM is not limited to studio productions alone, however. We also offer a robust array of field production services.

To meet the growing demand for streaming services, we use the most reliable satellite and fiber optic transmissions technology available for content distribution. This affords us the ability to stream content and provide interactive satellite downlinks and webcasts to and from anywhere in the world. Additionally, our superior interactive and multimedia services support training, education, public information, internal communications, and a variety of other types of programming.

Agencies that choose DCM for their projects enjoy a number of value-added benefits that can't be found with traditional production companies, including:

  • the convenience and efficiency of working with an "in-house" vendor
  • extremely competitive pricing that typically comes in significantly under that of outside production companies
  • an accessible "park and enter" location that is just off I-270 and boasts abundant onsite, meter-less, FREE parking.

Why DCM? Because superior government productions are our business.
