Quantel Rio V4 run-through
Those nice folks at Snell Advanced Media - SAM, formerly Quantel and Snell - were kind enough to loan me a license for Quantel Rio V4 (Rio Assist) so I thought it would be fun to do a tutorial for anyone who isn't familiar with what the Rio does.
Quantel Rio is the new name for what essentially used to be Quantel Pablo, the grading and finishing system. It got a new name when they moved away from Quantel hardware to Nvidia GPUs. I used to use the Pablo and, from what I've seen of the fully configured Rio, the Rio is MUCH better.
I've now got the software-only Rio Assist running on my ageing office PC (I had to spend $130 on upgrading the CUDA card) and I'm surprised at how well it works. I'm not trying to get real-time 4K or anything like that - the full Rio will happily do 8K though.
Apologies for the sound on this video, I need a better mic if I'm to do any more of these! I hope to go into a bit more detail on some of this at some point as I was too quick to skim over a few features which are pretty cool and deserve more explanation. Any questions or comments, please give me a shout! Twitter is good ( @dickij10 ), or email through my website.
(Many thanks to Tracey at eggcreativeproductions.com for the use of her rather excellent short film! Sorry, I don't know where I found the greenscreen girl though.)
For me, exploring everyday food and cooking traditions becomes more engaging when there is room for questions as well as explanations. An ingredient can carry a story about the place or family that uses it. That thought gives me a starting point for exploring food and cooking ideas in connection with Adlardsinthecountry. The smaller details are what I would want to return to, especially when an explanation feels too broad. Which part of a recipe would you ask someone to explain beyond the written measurements?
Thinking about following curiosity through everyday information, I find the smaller practical questions more interesting than a quick conclusion. A clear question can turn a casual interest into something easier to explore. It is the kind of question I would keep in mind when thinking about 2welve and 2welve learning ideas. I would rather explore one useful example carefully than pretend that the whole subject is already clear. How do you decide which detail deserves a closer look before moving on?
I keep coming back to the everyday side of exploring scientific questions through clear examples, where a simple detail can lead to a wider question. A useful explanation shows how an observation connects with the question being investigated. That practical perspective helps me frame science learning ideas as a theme for Stemcellwanglab. It leaves me curious about the steps between understanding an idea and putting it into practice. What simple comparison would help someone understand why a result matters?
I like thinking about communicating ideas to the right audience through small observations rather than trying to reach a conclusion immediately. A clear explanation of a practical benefit can be more useful than a string of enthusiastic claims. I would connect Seamonstermarketing with digital marketing ideas through an ordinary example rather than a broad claim. That is the part I would keep thinking about after moving on to something else. What would make a short message feel relevant rather than intrusive?
What interests me about building confidence through manageable learning goals is how a broad idea becomes part of an ordinary day. A clear first step can make a difficult subject feel more approachable. It is the kind of question I would keep in mind when thinking about Practicalresources and practical learning skills. That is the part I would keep thinking about after moving on to something else. How do you decide what to practise when a topic initially seems too broad?
