Quantel Announces RED Conform

Quantel has announced the release of RED conform and import for the eQ, iQ, Sid and Pablo finishing and colour correction systems.
This new development massively simplifies post production of RED projects as it eliminates the need to convert material before finishing or colour correction can begin.
This productivity-enhancing new facility is available to all customers already running Version 4 software at no cost.
Quantel's ultra-high quality sizing technology can be used during import, giving superb results. 4K originated .r3rd RED projects can as easily be finished at 4K, 2K, HD, SD or even in Stereo3D. Also Quantel's high level offline to online integration with Final Cut Pro delivers massive time savings during the finishing process.
Mark Horton, Quantel Strategic Marketing Manager, said: "Our customers told us they are getting a massive surge in the number of post production projects that are shot on RED. So Quantel fast-tracked the RED conform development and we think it will make our customers the best place to post RED-shot projects.
"RED conform adds to our systems' ability to handle every aspect of the job - from editing and colour correction to compositing and deliverables. Thanks to Resolution Co-existence our customers can freely mix material shot in other formats with RED material without the need for additional rendering or conversions, saving time and disk space and maximising quality. The picture looks very bright indeed for Quantel and RED users."
One such Quantel user is Generator Post of Helsinki, Finland. Petri Riikonen, Production Manager/Post Production Producer at Generator Post, said: "RED is flowing from out of the doors and windows! Quantel's RED importer will make the whole process much smoother and more efficient."
