  Company History:

  
  

  Cabida (started by Hank Lam as Associated Productions of Texas) began business in the mid 70s as an audio production, recording and studio design firm. With an original client base of Houston area entertainment producers and advertising agencies, the company quickly expanded to provide production, editorial, and equipment & facility design services for national motion picture producers and major musical touring acts. With the introduction of portable video production equipment, we added video production and technical directing services.

  
  

  In the 80s with a growing clientele of energy firms, Cabida was selected to provide radio communications services for a Fortune 50 energy firm. We developed and provided portable RF systems and audio system integration, and became a U.S. representative for Racal-Comsec, providing and integrating voice encryption systems into phone and radio networks, remote control systems, and working in the new field of computers and digital data. Continuing into the 90s, our strength continued in the audio, video and data communications industries. We routinely provided technical direction and audio support services for two-way satellite video teleconferences, incorporating multi-camera, multi-microphone systems for national news networks and for shareholder proxy meetings.

  
  

  We were at the forefront of the streaming media revolution, working with (and for) Real Broadcast Netwoks and Microsoft. In 2009, we were awarded the Rice Alliance I.T. and Web 2.0 Company award for our CouncilView software.

  
  

  Cabida is the evolution of consulting and design. Our systems move digital data and analog information to a wide variety of customers for a wide variety of needs, providing quality solutions in audio, video and data to customers needing to deliver information products. We provide acoustic analysis and designs, electronic solutions, ergonomic designs, and user-training services. We develop design narratives, do bid evaluation, and manage project construction and system implementations. And, as information consultants, we provide market research, subject matter training, technical research and media trends analysis.
