BBC Post Production Bristol expand eQ finishing system
BBC Post Production have expanded their High Definition (HD) post production offering with the acquisition of a Quantel eQ finishing system.
The move follows the recent acquisition of a Shadow Telecine in Bristol and the up-grade of their Spirit Telecine in London. The new equipment deals have been closely followed by an agreement with Discovery to provide up-converted HD footage of The Blue Planet series.
The new eQ will allow the conform, grading and online process to be used by the craft staff to create finished HD programmes for the international market. The Shadow in Bristol will be used to handle predominately natural history and factual and learning programming, while the London-based Telecine will be used mostly for music and arts programming.
The addition of the latest equipment, with the inclusion of the existing HD Fire and Alchemist Platinum HD upconverter, will allow BBC Post Production to offer a complete HD package for its customers. In addition to high end broadcast, the equipment will also handle Standard Definition (SD) resolution output.
