Quantel's Genetic Engineering 2 Makes Euro Debut

Quantel's Genetic Engineering 2, the shared workspace solution for multiple Pablo Rio and Pablo PA suites, made its European debut at IBC2014.

The system was used in combination with Pablo Rio at the 2014 FIFA World Cup for the fast-turnaround post production of 4K 60p promos.
The company featured demonstrations of the GE2 World Cup workflow - including some 4K 60p images on large screens - on both the Quantel and Sony stands at IBC.
Up to four Pablo Rio systems can share the same GenePool storage, with realtime performance on every connected system, even when working at 4K 60p. GE2 also offers 6K operation on multiple clients to cater for the new generation of ultra-high resolution cameras.
GE2 systems can be tailored to meet every individual facility's workflow requirements. GenePool shared storage can range from 22TB supporting a two-suite HD production environment to almost 400TB.
Quantel has published a configurator on its website (pictured above) so that customers can dial in different requirements for numbers of suites, resolution and storage, and the configurator interactively 'builds' the system for them and produces a bill of materials.
"Post production houses need to be able to utilise all of their resources to the fullest possible extent to create the maximum amount of client-facing time from each and every system and person," said Steve Owen, Quantel Marketing Director. "We developed Genetic Engineering 2 in response to this need, and it has already proven itself invaluable, saving post houses time and money while giving them the flexibility they need to be truly responsive to their clients' needs."
