Sadly, the company was 'merged' with another a cople of years ago and the name was lost. Another takeover and change later, the owners are moving out of the Spitfire factory and 'consolidating' in Canada.

End of an era, almost 50 years of the company that [almost] invented digital tv, pioneered digital editing and introduced it to the movie industry. QUANtised TELevision.
