India-based Gemini Lab has purchased a Quantel Genetic Engineering shared workflow infrastructure supporting multiple colour correction and DI workstations.
The new system will form the backbone of the company’s digital film workflow, at a stroke giving Gemini Lab a digital film operation that is among the most advanced, productive and creative not only on the subcontinent, but also on the world stage.
The new Digital Film operation was tried out during Cannes 2009 last month.
The Gemini Lab Genetic Engineering system has 16 hours of shared 4K (64 hours at 2K) storage in the GenePool at its heart. This supports two 4K Pablo color correction systems, one equipped with a Neo control panel and one with the standard interface, as well as an iQ 4K digital intermediate graphics, editing and effects system.

The system also supports a 4K Sam data server (giving open read/write access to 3rd party applications), and all connected workstations have simultaneous access to all stored material at all times.
This means that all Gemini’s connected creative suites, plus additional VFX workstations, can be working on creative, billable operations for 100% of the time, providing massive productivity boosts compared with conventional SAN-based systems. The system is also enabled with Quantel’s Stereo3D software, providing a designed-in solution for Stereo3D post production as the industry embraces this exciting new creative opportunity.
“There are many good DI colour correctors out there - but Quantel’s offerings via their Genetic Engineering system with integrated Neo, Pablo, iQ and Sam demonstrated viable benefit for an operation looking for a flexible and cost effective DI solution, with more capability than just simply colour correction,” commented Ravishankar Prasad, managing director of Gemini.
