"We selected the ATEM Constellation 8K due to its ability to han- dle a large number of inputs and work with high resolution signals in 8K, which was necessary for our technical requirements. The switch- er allowed us to integrate all video sources and make complex tran- sitions without loss of quality. In a production like Cinépolis, this was essential to maintaining consistency in each take," Reina noted. To keep up with the nonstop pace of production, the team relied on seven HyperDeck Studio 4K Pro broadcast decks to record the camera feeds, with hard drives ready to go directly to editing, which proved to be a huge time saver. "Being able to capture all cameras in one place also meant we could offer playback from any camera at any time," added Reina. "This gave great confidence to our camera operators, who could al- ways see the big picture of how the project was developing. It gave them all the immediate benefits of a live broadcast, and we also re- lied on DaVinci Resolve Studio for quick cuts and to review scenes during production." "We are so motivated to start shooting the third season of this fun show," Reina concluded. "We are confident that with the Black- magic Design workflow we've established, we are positioned for suc- cess and continued innovation. The integration we have across all our Blackmagic Design gear is truly remarkable and helps us achieve what is usually a complex production more easily." facebook.com/CGWmagazine @CGWmagazine Immerse yourself in the latest industry news.
