Quantel is to show its new products, features and facilities at this year's IBC, stand 7.A20.

News and Sports - LiveTouch is a scalable studio highlights system comprising a new server, a new software client, a new panel and new middleware that links clients with content. LiveTouch is flexible and is can be reconfigured to support different productions across several studios as required. Uniquely, LiveTouch offers bidirectional editor integration direct into the server cluster, speeding operations and simplifying system design.

There's support for XAVC media across the system in both automated and manual workflows and new support for 4K media.
Also new is Fileflow 2 which enables IT integration and a faster workflow to Enterprise sQ file i/o. Improvements include roles-based user accounts, new security features such as folder-based credentials and FTP client support making it easier to integrate into large IT systems.

Production Everywhere - QTube aims to help broadcasters create content more quickly using relevant media and get it to air, web, mobile or tablet wherever it is required. IBC highlights will include a new browser-based InterSite workflow that helps add InterSite operations to Enterprise sQ systems.

Post Production - Genetic Engineering 2 is making its European debut at IBC2014. GE2 is Quantel's shared storage solution for post that boosts Quantel Pablo Rio colour and finishing system users.
