QUANTEL GEAR UP FOR INDUSTRY FORUM AT RSA

QUANTEL has enlisted an impressive array of leaders from the post production, broadcast and equipment manufacturing sides of the business to examine the future needs of the broadcast and film industry.
Places are still available for the two-day forum which will look at ways of profitably harnessing the multi-resolution opportunities that are now unfolding.
The forum, to be held at the Royal Society of Arts in the heart of Soho, London, on January 31 and February 1, will examine topics ranging from digital acquisition, production and high resolution/digital film post production and grading – both techniques and technologies – to discussions of broadcasters' design requirements and their multi-resolution futures.
Confirmed speakers include one of France's leading directors, Pitof, who recently produced Europe's first all-digital feature film (Vidocq), Andy King from the BBC talking about HD standards, as well as guest speakers from the USA and BSkyB. Manufacturers attending will include Arri, Sony and Pandora.
The forum will combine speaker presentations, round table discussions, question and answer sessions plus hands-on technology opportunities, all in an informal, relaxed environment, in a format designed to maximise information exchange and networking opportunities.
There will be a cocktail reception on the evening of 31 January, which will include a highlight celebration of the creativity shown by Quantel artists from around the world in the Quantel/Promax/BDA Artist of the Year Awards, now in its second year.
Offering an ideal opportunity for professionals from broadcasters and post-production facilities to check out the future. Space at individual sessions is limited and will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.
Visit www.quantel.com/rsa to register for the sessions, which are free of charge. (SP)
