Just a quick note of praise on the Detroit Lions consoles. The Lions’ clients are extremely satisfied with the design, quality and functionality of the consoles. Kudos to Dennis on the design, and your shop team on the build. Your site install team of John and Jander did an outstanding job of assembling the consoles on site.

Thanks again – see you on the next one.

When looking to redesign our control room, basic needs like furniture were at the forefront of our focus. After receiving the recommendation from fellow researchers within our organization to look at TBC, we were very impressed with their products.

The TBC team was easy to work with and timely with their responses. We received exactly what we were looking for without ever having to have an onsite visit. Everything was coordinated through email and telephone correspondence.

Assembly of our system was very straightforward and the willingness of the company to flex to meet our specific needs separated them from other companies. Our custom-designed and built furniture has not disappointed and we expect this product to continue to meet our needs for many years to come. The products we received (TracWall and IntelliTrac) have the ability to accommodate various sized support equipment (i.e. monitors and rack-mounted equipment) and provide the capability to expand as the scope of our mission changes.

We have almost completed the transition to our new NOC and MCR. I must comment on how professional and high-tech your consoles are. We are getting so many compliments on the workmanship and design from our guests and vendors.

The technical staff has also complimented me on the selection of your products for its ergonomics and looks.

Thanks again for helping us during the design stages, implementing the needed changes and customization of the consoles.

I’m now looking forward to updating my editing suits, and the one thing that I don’t have to worry about is the consoles.

Ten years ago when I was building my NYC production facilities, I know that I made the right decision to go with your product. Even today your product appears new and contemporary, despite the heavy 24/7 usage.

TBC is way ahead of the competition in its field. Thank you again for a great product and for your support.

We have purchased two Intellitrac consoles and could not be more pleased with the design and function of this product. The fit and finish are of the highest quality. The careful attention to such details as cable access and the securing of doors is brilliant and anticipated our every need. Time Base Consoles has always provided the finest consoles in the business and Intellitrac is the result of years of evolution and refinement of thought. A winner all around.

TBC Consoles did a great job on the CEI FedEx Field Redskins project. The consoles are modern, flexible and expandable and their CAD modules offer quick and accurate “drag and drop” capability.

TBC has filled in a great gap in the broadcast industry replacing custom mill work! Designs are ergonomic, modular and efficient, and they can be customized to your space requirements. Customer service is great and everyone is always willing to help create solutions tailored to your needs.

The TBC team did a great job helping us design a functional and designer-pleasing system with the IntelliTrac and TracWall products. TBC did far more than ship a box of parts, they worked with us on the ergonomics, functionality and aesthetics of the system. I'm looking forward to our next opportunity to work with them.

We had very specific operational requirements that called for a customization of TBC’s IntelliTrac system. This included several custom furniture components that helped balance the operational facility's overall function and appearance. Bill Shea and his design team from TBC did a lot of custom design to show off TBC's capability with accommodating for very tight working conditions and the final product exceeded our expectations. The design, purchase, integration and installation went flawlessly. I would not hesitate to use TBC again for future work. If you want the best I have found TBC can deliver. Bill and TBC's team provided the perfect solution for our needs.

Our console was specifically designed for our research efforts at WPAFB. The console was exactly what we needed and has fit our needs perfect.

We purchased the Intellitrac Components for our Film Studio. The entire experience with TBC Consoles was awesome.

We recently installed the intellitrac system at our new tv, radio, and digital media production and distribution facility. We are happy with the product to date, and had a great experience working with TBC on the design and build of the project. They were very accommodating to our unique requests, and very easy to work with. The product has been performing very well since we installed it.

Great job guys!

Blue Sky had some very specific operational requirements that called for a customization of TBC’s IntelliTrac and SmartTrac Console systems. Working with the TBC design team really made a huge difference and made this aspect of our project painless. TBC's team provided the perfect solution for our needs.

When the time came to design our new Media Exchange Gateway, we just couldn't find a locally made product that came close to the IntelliTrac. The product combines superior form with great function, so it made sense to ship two consoles and TracWall units to Sydney and assemble them ourselves. The whole process was effortless from start to finish and the end result has exceeded all expectations. Thanks to Jerry, Steve and the TBC crew!"

When we were designing the New Wave, our challenge was to make the most out of a very constrained space. TBC's experts were there to create the perfect balance of usable work surface without compromising the spaciousness we desired. The brushed metal finishes, movable work surfaces, and Lucite counter tops add the "wow" factor for our clients. To say that we are thrilled that we went with TBC would be an understatement
