Bob Caniglia, Blackmagic Design, on Remote Collaboration

In our continuing series on remote collaboration, Cirina Catania speaks with Bob Caniglia, Director of Sales Operations, North America for Blackmagic Design.  Blackmagic has several solutions that make production and post-production life easier when teams are in different locations. We take a deep dive under the hood and talk about DaVinci Resolve 17 and Cut for next-gen editing, Fairlight, Crew in a Box, how to get better sound with Zoom interviews, the Pocket Cinema Camera 6Ks and ATEM Mini Pro switchers, and more! Twenty-six of this year's Emmy Award nominees were streamed into the telecast using kits built around Pocket Cinema Camera 6K and ATEM Mini Pro switchers.  Blackmagic solutions are also being used by filmmakers featured in major film festivals, like the fact that Senior Colorist Andrew Francis used DaVinci Resolve Studio to grade the new 2021 Sundance documentary "Cusp". He relied on a home set up powered by DaVinci Resolve Mini Panel, Teranex Mini SDI to DisplayPort 8K HDR converter and UltraStudio 4K capture and playback device as part of his remote workflow.
