18.07.2008 - smarti® to be featured in the hit TV series Primeval 3
The highly respected U.K. television production company Impossible Pictures, which is currently in production on the third series of Primeval 3, has asked us if they can use the smarti® DIADEM unit in their series. Their characters in the series have had trouble in the past with the security of their head office so later in the series they have decided to upgrade their security system.
Primeval is a futuristic, high tech series about a scientific team and their support teams who locate 'anomalies' or holes that appear between two different time zones. Through these holes creatures from either the past or the future come through and it is the heroes job to locate them and get them back into their own worlds before the 'anomaly' closes.
The lead characters run their team from a highly advanced technological centre called The ARC. This is the hypercentre of the series and is equipped with state of the art equipment and appears in every episode. This is where the heroes are first aware of when the 'anomalies' appear and it is also where they continue to study them and make break through discoveries and continue to build new equipment in their laboratory.
It is for the ARC that the Impossible Pictures needed a new impressive security system and the new smarti® DIADEM unit was just what they were looking for.
On the picture you can see Cautter one of the main characters using the smarti® unit.
