"We are delighted to partner with Rimage and help post-production professionals manage content more efficiently," said Marcus Hume-Humphreys, MD of ROOT6 Technology. "As a natural hub for creating multi-format content for distribution, ContentAgent will benefit greatly from the integration of Rimage output capabilities."
