Quantel announces Lasergraphics support for Genetic Engineering Quantel today announced that its award-winning Genetic Engineering teamworking technology now supports the popular Lasergraphics Director pin-registered film scanner. The Lasergraphics interface allows frames to be scanned at full speed directly to the Genetic Engineering shared workspace so that creative work can commence immediately, without wasting time and disk space on an intermediate transfer stage. The interface leverages the openness of Quantel’s Sam data server, which enables third party access to Quantel shared workspace without requiring a special API or licence. “The high speed Lasergraphics Director pin-registered film scanner replaces HD telecines and first-generation scanners while delivering higher quality,” said Lasergraphics CEO, Dr. Stefan Demetrescu. "Quantel's open access technology is very much in line with our efforts to design products that remove the risks associated with file-based workflow integration and interoperability while dramatically lowering overall system costs." “We’re delighted to add Lasergraphics to the many manufacturers with tried and tested workflow partner products for our Genetic Engineering technology,” said Steve Owen, Quantel Director of Marketing. “Working with the team at Lasergraphics, we’ve produced a practical and productive solution which will be of interest in DI, post production and restoration.” ENDS Founded in 1981, Lasergraphics, Inc. is the designer and manufacturer of the high resolution, high speed Director film scanning and Producer film recording systems. In 2005, it won the CINE-Siemens Technology Innovation Award for Film and Video in recognition of its groundbreaking DI film recording system, the Producer 3.
