Former president of Affusion Media, Tim Rollenhagen, has joined the team to head its new media division. He began his career in technical operations management in 1981 as a machine room supervisor at Unitel Video, and later at 525 Post Production.  He went on to become director of operations at Varitel Video, followed by a stint as VP of operations at Pittard Sullivan.  He later served as managing director of Click 3X for two years.

Dan Parrish, most recently with Lightning Media, has joined the company to serve in the newly created role of director of technical operations. He brings with him over a decade of post production experience. At Lightning Media, he served as facilities manager for the entire Hollywood facility. His time at Laser-Pacific included serving as manager of multi-media operations, where he oversaw all aspects of their digital compression facility.

Significant infrastructure assets from Affusion Media have been acquired by Visual Data (www.visualdatainc.com) as well, including authoring stations, menu design/creative workstations, encoding devices, DVD printers and data recorders. The company will now offer complete Blu-ray and DVD menu design services, as well as a full range of authoring capabilities.
