Blackmagic Design announced today that Canal 13, Chile’s second oldest television station, upgraded its broadcast cameras to URSA Mini 4K digital film cameras to shoot its hit telenovelas. The broadcaster also uses Blackmagic 3G-SDI Arduino Shield for camera control, DaVinci Resolve Studio for editing and color grading and Teranex 2D Processor for standards conversions.

Herval Abreu, who served as director and executive producer for the hit telenovela “Runaways,” initially proposed using Blackmagic Design for the telenovela as he wanted to explore a more cinematic and sophisticated look. Canal 13 needed cameras that would seamlessly work with its existing broadcast gear, and the easiest way to incorporate new products was to test them in specific points in the workflow.

“We started out by introducing Blackmagic Design products, like the Teranex 2D Processor, to manage conversions. It complemented our existing infrastructure without disrupting the production chain, and the results were incredible,” said Hugo Terán, Chief of Technical Projects at Canal 13. “We always had our eyes on Blackmagic Design’s URSA Mini 4K cameras and needed to apply the same type of test scenario to see if they would help us accomplish what we wanted in terms of image quality, while working with what we already had in house.”
