Kansai TV: post-production in the cloud powered by Blackmagic

Blackmagic Cloud and DaVinci Resolve Studio are the key cloud post-production workflow solutions for one of the news formats Kansai TV, Japanese television that broadcasts all types of content for the Kinki region (Japan).

Yoshiyuki Shimizu, editor of Kansai TV, began to evaluate the possibility of using Blackmagic Cloud when looking for an economical solution to post-produce their formats. After analyzing the industry, he ended up choosing this solution “available for less than 800 yen ($5) per month,” and which also allows him to work with the sound during editing, which he considers “a new concept compared to how we worked before.” Likewise, Shimizu celebrates that this system “does not have any restrictions” such as “being in the same office or on the same network to share projects.” “The ability to collaborate remotely, whether being in different buildings or working from home, is an important advantage,” says the editor.

En paralelo, Kansai TV decidió dar el salto a DaVinci Resolve Studio para etalonar proyectos en 4K y 8K, así como para editar contenidos para la web. “Debido a que la edición y el etalonaje se pueden llevan a cabo en un mismo software, es muy conveniente que otro miembro del equipo se encargue de las composiciones durante el montaje. Esto evita tener que estar revisando el trabajo terminado en otro programa y luego, es posible exportarlo y recibirlo, lo que ayuda a que el proceso sea muy eficiente. También resultó muy útil emplear tabletas iPad para previsualizar las imágenes con la aplicación DaVinci Resolve for iPad”, explica Shimizu.

Shimizu destaca entre los processes de esta solución de Blackmagic Design su capacidad para procesar todo el material In order to “preview the settings”, your tool noise reduction or your commitment to improvement: "With every update to DaVinci Resolve, the tools we need are constantly being added. As a broadcaster, the optimized interlacing capabilities provide many benefits. Plus, the export speed is getting faster."
