Editbox Choice Program
Editbox Choice extends the capabilities of Quantel's hugely successful and popular nonlinear editing system to the promo and shortform markets. The Editbox Choice Program allows users to self configure an ideal Editbox for their particular application from a combination of options.
Nigel Turner, Quantel's Marketing Director says: "We are hugely excited about the possibilities that a ‘built to order' Editbox offers. Effectively this enables smaller post houses or broadcast graphics suites to buy into the power of Editbox, adding as much capability as they require and whenever they want it."
He continues: "Focussing on the promo market and shortform business was an inevitable choice for us to make. The Editbox toolset with its easy archive and reversioning capabilities make it ideal for a busy promo department, whether independent or in-house. By creating a lower entry point we are allowing customers complete choice over the way the system is configured, selecting from a range of options including storage, layers and workstation components."
Editbox Choice allows greater flexibility in choosing a system for a broad range of applications, including commercials, trailers, episodic effects, shortform and now increasingly promos. All systems ship with the latest version 8.18 software, maintaining the core feature set and all systems continue to offer full power dual bandwidth capability. This maintains an easy upgrade path for future developments across the range.
Higher up the range, Editbox FX has been powered up with extra storage and a range of new features in the latest version 8.18 release, including improved auto conform (OMFI), Clipnet, captioning developments, graphical keyframe control, lens effects and background loading.
Clipnet in particular adds an enormous productivity boost with background load, super fast transfers between multiple Editboxes, extended third party connectivity and teamworking with the new Quantel iQ systems.
Editbox Choice is available world-wide with immediate effect and all enhancements to the Editing range are ready for delivery now.
