Quantel Selected For 4K Final
Quantel's colour and finishing systems are to assist Sony's 4K production of this summer's World Cup final in Rio de Janeiro. The company has supplied a Genetic Engineering 2 (GE2) system for Sony's 4K installation at the HBS production facility.
The Quantel GE2 was selected to work with 4K 60p XAVC media recorded on either the Sony PMW-F55 cameras being used by FIFA Film crews throughout the competition, or the Sony Servers used for the 4K Live Production of three matches played at the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro; one in the round of 16, one quarter final and the final itself.
The Quantel system includes two Pablo Rio 4KO colour correction and finishing systems sharing storage and workflow via a GenePool. It will be implemented to produce 4K highlights packages that will be distributed to broadcasters and Sony Stores worldwide, as well as being displayed on 4K super-screens in fan parks around Brazil. The Quantel system will also be used for the post production of the Official FIFA World CupTM film in 4K Ultra HD.
Pablo Rio runs on PC hardware and exploits NVIDIA Maximus multi-GPU technology. It is available as software only and as a range of Quantel-backed turnkey systems. Genetic Engineering 2 provides shared storage and workflow for up to four Pablo Rio systems.
All XAVC media is instantly available for viewing and editing on the Pablo Rio colour and finishing systems, due to the fact that they are able to begin work immediately with soft-mounted media, without transcoding or importing. The Quantel system is also recording live 4K 60p via Quad 3G SDI, which can be edited while recording. The Pablo Rios are equipped with Fraunhofer IIS's integrated easyDCP toolset for production of cinema deliverables.
According to Sony's World Cup 2014 Programme Manager, Mark Grinyer: “The chosen system needed to handle 4K 60p in realtime, reliably and to produce the finished highlights packages quickly and efficiently. Quantel users have already proven on many real-world projects that Pablo Rio and the Genetic Engineering 2 shared workflow can comfortably handle 4K 60p and beyond. This made Quantel a natural choice for this demanding application."
