Quantel launches The Pablo Suite for Color Correction (5/10/2005)

Quantel today unveiled The Pablo Suite - the next massive step forward for the art and business of color correction. The Pablo Suite is a unique combination of the world's most powerful image processing hardware with the enormous flexibility of the world's most versatile color correction software, perfectly blended with the Quantel heritage of quality, performance and interactivity. The result is the totally integrated, super-powerful, in-context color grading environment the industry has been waiting for.

For the colorist, The Pablo Suite is in every sense the complete color correction environment. Its intuitive heads-up interface and vast toolset make color correction a fast, creative and highly versatile process. And because The Pablo suite is built on the foundations of eQ and iQ, it is also a complete Digital Intermediate system with a proven a business model that simply works and works. Better still, the Pablo Suite also taps the enormous extra power and creative tools of the new Eiger hardware and software, including Integrated Concurrent Processing, which entirely takes the waiting out of rendering - see separate press releases.

The Pablo Suite is designed by colorists for colorists. Over the two years since Quantel launched its ground-breaking QColor in-context grading option for iQ and eQ, there has been a continuing dialogue with some of the world's leading colorists that has led to this new generation of color correction suites at IBC.

"For some years the industry has been searching for a new way of handling color more creatively as colorists have hit up against the limits of the traditional hardware approach and the frustrating render speeds and proxy guesswork of software-only systems," says Quantel's Executive Chairman, Richard Taylor. "With The Pablo Suite, the industry moves on to the next generation of color correction."

There are three Pablo models designed to meet every kind of color correction application. The eQ Pablo Suite is for HD applications; the iQ2 Pablo Suite handles 2K digital intermediates and the iQ4 Pablo Suite is for everything up to and including 4K DI working.
