Korean Production House CJ Powercast Purchases Pablo Rio with Neo Panel

Korean post and broadcast house, CJ Powercast, has purchased a Quantel Pablo Rio high quality color and finishing system to support its move into 4K/UHD production for broadcast and multi-media applications. Equipped with the Neo color panel, the system is being supplied via Quantel’s Korean partner, QAC Korea.

CJ Powercast, a division of the multi-national CJ Group, was founded in 2003 to provide production, post production and content delivery services to CJ Group’s rapidly expanding broadcast stations portfolio. The Pablo Rio will operate alongside CJ Powercast’s existing Quantel Pablo and PA systems, allowing the creative team to share projects across systems.

“Pablo Rio’s high performance and stability will help us move smoothly into 4K 60p and 4K S3D operations,” says Junho Jun, CJ Powercast Technical Supervisor and Colorist. “We have been using Quantel systems since 2006 and have never experienced any loss of media or data in that time. We trust the high quality and brand value of Quantel; it is a nonpareil for system stability and support in this industry – and I say that having had direct experience in introducing a number of different solutions.”

“Naturally we’re delighted that CJ Powercast has again invested in its future with Quantel,” says Quantel Sales Director, Martin Mulligan. “Pablo Rio is the perfect fit for their continued drive to be the best and to stay ahead of developments in our industry.”
