Quantel Launches Pablo HD at IBC 2006 (26/9/2006)

World's leading non-linear color corrector available in cost-effective HD configuration

At IBC 2006, Quantel is introducing a new, highly affordable HD color correction system with all the features of the award-winning Pablo 2K and 4K systems. Pablo HD is designed to make high resolution color correction a creative and profitable proposition for every form of mainstream post production. There is also an HD-RGB model for 4:4:4 HD/digital film applications - a perfect workflow partner for the new breed of digital capture systems.

Pablo HD is controlled from Quantel's next-generation head-up ergonomic color control panels, giving the colorist natural, tactile control of all color parameters. It also includes the new TimeMagic technology, which takes the waiting out of rendering, and the revolutionary Revolver secondary color corrector. Pablo HD's ability to handle HD, SD and mixed resolution jobs thanks to Quantel's Resolution Co-existence, makes it the perfect upgrade path for obsolete SD-only linear color correction systems; it is also equally at home in today's data-centric world.

Because Pablo is built on the foundations of eQ and iQ, Pablo HD also has all the tools to handle the whole job - from editing/conform, effects and of course color correction to trailers, titles and deliverables. Pablo's all-round abilities help colorists keep their clients happy and the post house to keep the suite busy.

"Pablo HD is the perfect step-up for the post house that wants non-linear grading and HD," said Quantel Head of Product Marketing, Post & DI, Steve Owen. "Pablo HD has the power and tools to handle everything from dramas and documentaries to commercials and digital film projects, and its aggressive price point makes this great new business opportunity available to every post house and broadcaster."
