New Zealand radio prolongation firm NHNZ has purchased a Quantel Max HD support hire with Genetic Engineering common workflow infrastructure.

The new systems capacitate NHNZ to serve speed up the capability of its existing Quantel eQ multiresolution editing, effects, grading and deliverables system. Quantel Max frees up eQ time by rebellious tasks such as conforms, high quality manage and playout, permitting NHNZ to accomplish limit throughput, capability and profitability from the imaginative eQ suite. NHNZ can work on multi-part projects opposite the eQ and Max without duplicating media or watchful for transfers using the GenePool common storage.

Based in Dunedin, New Zealand, NHNZ is a of the world's heading producers of actual programming, working on projects for National Geographic International Channels, Nat Geo Wild, Discovery Science, Travel Channel and Smithsonian. NHNZ has more than 100 hours of radio in prolongation this year, inclusive 7 array and two pilots.

Stuart Moffat, online editor at NHNZ, said, "There's always been a bottleneck in the workflow around conforming. Previously you had to wait for for rug time with the two HDCAM SRs. Now that you are file-based, you can do conforms when you want. Max will be ingesting or laying-back whilst the eQ is grading or in a finishing session. Effectively, I can work twice as fast. I can complete a part whilst I'm ingesting the next one. We're seeking at the future workflows too. One of that could be to edit, then outlay as a long HD shave and use Max to stage discover before it goes for rank in the eQ system.

"eQ is great for its perfect 'grunt'. It's fast, it doesn't drop over and it does things in a day that takes other platforms three."
