Quantel is to unveil two revolutionary new software architectures – one for
broadcast and one for post-production – at NAB, in the belief that they will change
the industry forever. These new architectures have already resulted in a multi-million
dollar order.
The new broadcast architecture enables COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf) storage to
support fast-turnaround workflows. It delivers instant access to literally years of
online content – ingest becomes archive. This software technology is open,
standards-based and delivers ingest, editing and instant file delivery on a global
scale. Quantel describes this as a genuine revolution.
Quantel’s new software Pablo delivers real choice to high end post-production.
Taking advantage of multi-GPU processing, the new Pablo will be available as both
software-only and COTS-based turnkey systems in a range of configurations to
match the requirements of post today. All systems are fully Stereo3D capable and
support the Neo panel and the new Neo Nano panel which will be unveiled at NAB.
They will also support new high frame-rate and productive Stereo3D finishing
workflows.
These revolutionary new developments are fully backwards compatible with Quantel’s
existing products, which also benefit from a raft of new developments at NAB:
Quantel reports that its Enterprise sQ fast-turnaround production system will be at
NAB with a comprehensive new user permissions and management system. Its file-
based workflow capabilities take another step forward with enhancements to sQ
Fileflow that now provide a resilient, scalable and SOA file ingest/egress
architecture.
Quantel is distributed in South Africa by Questek.
