Quantel announces that with a software update available in April, its eQ and Pablo HD online finishing and color correction systems will be able to carry out conforming, editing, effects, color correction and deliverables production on 2K (2048x1024) RED projects. The v4.1 software update makes the Quantel RED workflow available for finishing 2K projects in a cost-effective online environment.
eQ and Pablo HD are in use at post houses and broadcasters around the world, finishing everything from commercials and promotions to long-form dramas and budget-sensitive movies.
“We’ve been talking to many RED users who want to finish at 2K but, up to now, felt that Quantel quality was out of their reach,” says Mark Horton, Quantel strategic marketing manager. “Now, the same toolsets that are used on Oscar-winning movies can be applied to finishing a broad range of RED-shot high-resolution projects, whether digital intermediate, long-form or commercials. And of course it means sparkling results that do full justice to the quality of the originally shot material, all with an online workflow that is second to none for speed and efficiency.”
V4.1 software will be released in April and will be a free upgrade for V4 users. RED 2K support requires appropriate hardware.
