BCE has upgraded its long-serving Quantel eQ system to a Pablo Rio 2KO high quality color and finishing system. Pablo Rio will provide postproduction services to TV promos and programs for French channel RTL9 and Belgian channel RTL-TVI, both of which are owned by the leading European entertainment network, RTL Group.

BCE is a European leader in technical services, serving over 400 clients in the television, radio, production and post production, telecommunication and IT industries.

Pablo Rio is Quantel's high quality color and finishing system that provides the ultimate productive post workflow. Pablo Rio runs on high performance PC hardware and exploits NVIDIA Maximus multi-GPU technology to deliver true interactivity and maximum productivity, with realtime performance at 4K 60p and beyond. Pablo Rio is available as software only and as a range of Quantel-backed turnkey systems.

Jean Lampach, chief technology and development officer at BCE said, "We have had Quantel systems in house at BCE for many years and are continually impressed with their speed, user-friendliness and high quality color and finishing toolsets. Pablo Rio will provide us with the ultimate post workflow to maximize creativity and productivity."
