Quantel outlines its new graphics range

Almost 20 years to the day since Quantel first released Paintbox, the company has unveiled a new graphics product line-up aimed to bring even more creative horsepower to graphic designers and those involved in the production process.
The as yet unnamed product line-up includes a purpose-built platform with dedicated hardware delivering 60x processing speed increase high-grade video performance. Gigabit networking guarantees connectivity and workflow for broadcasters to make optimal use of all graphics resources, while sharing media, templates and archives.
Based on the toolsets of the Quantel Paintbox, the new Quantel graphics software is Resolution Co-existent, allowing material of any resolution to be freely mixed, and output to air in any required format.
The new software also includes a powerful new graphics tool – the Digital Rostrum Camera. The camera has new templating tools, making graphics production within multi-superlayer compositing with all layers live keyframeable colour corrective, plus DVE and Blur with multiple levels of undo.
Alongside these tools, a large range of effects plug-ins have also been developed and the open API means that other developers are creating plug-ins as well.
"Quantel has been the engine of the television graphics business since the Paintbox changed television forever almost overnight in 1982," said Quantel Chairman Richard Taylor.
"These radical new products carry that heritage forward into the new age of television. We will be releasing full details of product specifications, naming and pricing for the new graphics products before NAB this year. It's going to be a very exciting year for Quantel – and our customers."
