Quantel Demos New Pablo software with Cubebuilder 3D Look-up Table (22/9/2009)

Plus workflow improvements for on-set grading, RED conforms and Blu-ray

At IBC 2009 Quantel demonstrated the latest software release for its Pablo non-linear color correction and finishing system. The new release, slated for September, includes the powerful new Cubebuilder facility as well as a host of useful new features and facilities across its editing and effects capabilities.

The Cubebuilder enables Pablo users to build, manipulate and apply 3D Look-up Tables (LUTs) entirely within Pablo. This makes it easy to create and carry a particular ‘look’ right through a project – a tremendous time and money saver. The Cubebuilder also supports the use of files from Speed Grade for looks that have been created on set, and is also mapped to the Neo panel for ultimate usability.

Other significant new features and facilities are:

* Process re-ordering in multi-layer timeline effects – more flexibility in effects creation
* Nine new blend modes – more creative options
* New and improved conform and file handling features – more efficient workflow means more time for creative work
* New file export modes simplify Blu-ray and DVD generation

“The Quantel User Group is a very active forum where our customers discuss with us new ideas and features they would like to see on our systems,” said Damon Hawkins, Quantel Product Manager for Pablo. “This new Pablo software includes many such suggestions as well as developments driven by our R&D engineers. It’s all about doing more, and doing it more easily.”
