In May 2009, AMBIT invested in a brand new Panasonic HPX 500E P2 broadcast camcorder and Fujinon Genius 2 lens.

The camcorder doesn’t use tape but instead visuals and sound are recorded onto memory cards. This improves the workflow, minimises waste and allows recordings to be made in a variety of formats, including full high definition. AMBIT has also upgraded its editing facilities to cater for HD.

Says Pete Simon, AMBIT joint MD, “With the new camera and lens we can offer our clients the best quality currently available and the improved workflow is very helpful when a fast turnaround is required.”

The programme presents some typical flashpoints such as underage sales and gives Co-operative Group staff the opportunity to select appropriate responses and hear expert feedback.

Says Steve Hogarth of the Co-operative Group, “The dramas are very realistic, which is vital for credibility and relevance. Staff will certainly recognise the situations and this training will give them the opportunity to consider new and productive approaches and ultimately reduce customer conflict in the stores.”
