Beijing Archive Buys Quantel System

China Film Archive in Beijing has purchased a Quantel iQ 4K Dl and finishing system.
The iQ includes QColor in-context grading and the Quantel Stereo3D toolset. In addition to its role safeguarding China’s film heritage of over ten thousand films, China Film Archive is also charged with adopting and exploiting new film technologies; hence the Stereo3D tools.
"iQ provides us with a rich DI toolset and high quality 4K workflow, and it offers an excellent RED One 4K workflow too," said Tao Li, General Manager of China Film Archive.
"Stereo3D is a rapidly developing new market in China, and Quantel is leading the way in its development.
"We already have a substantial investment in Quantel technology which has consistently proved to be the right choice, and Quantel is once again the natural selection as we move into the new world of Stereo3D."
Johnsen Yue, Quantel General Manager, China, commented: "Audiences in China have already demonstrated a huge enthusiasm for Stereo3D movies, and this has been further reinforced by the massive success of Avatar over here.
"It has also heightened Chinese film makers' desire to move into 3D, and the market is well served by Quantel, with many Quantel iQ and Pablo owners in China already equipped to handle Stereo3D post production."
Quantel is a leading developer of innovative, high performance content creation and delivery systems across post, broadcast and DI.
Quantel's product range includes: multi-resolution finishing systems; award-winning color correction solutions; stereoscopic 3D post systems and integrated news and sports production systems.
