Roundabout upgrades its facilities with Quantel Rio

The Los Angeles post-production company adds the SAM solution to its workflow in order to gain competitiveness.

Roundabout has just launched an editing, color and finishing workflow based on Quantel Rio 4K from SAM.

Neil Maycock, vice president of marketing at SAM, said he was pleased that "such a busy and thriving post-production company like Roundabout has added Rio to its workflow. There really is no better option on the market today than Quantel Rio to help Roundabout deliver creative content in the very competitive Los Angeles market."

"With Rio, we get really sophisticated features that make our jobs much easier. For example, the Rio toolset is intuitively designed so you don't have to think about it, which saves us a lot of time," said Craig Price, senior director of digital intermediation at Roundabout.

Among the first projects that have used Rio, the independent film Feed stands out, which includes meticulous work in terms of hand-drawn credits.
