a52 Color has deployed Nevion’s Virtuoso software-defined media node platform, to enable collaborative remote colour-grading for film, commercial and TV.

Launched in 2018, a52 Color is a boutique grading studio for agencies, studios and creatives, and has worked for major brands including Nike, BMW and Samsung. Nevion Virtuoso has allowed for remote grading from a52’s studio in Santa Monica to agencies and client locations around the globe.

As a52 continues to grow, Nevion Virtuoso will also facilitate the expansion of remote production to third-party offices across the United States and Europe.

“As a growing studio, we found that Nevion Virtuoso perfectly fits all of our needs,” said Thatcher Peterson, executive producer, a52 Color. “It is colour-accurate, very low-latency and reliable, which is vital to ensure we’re creating the best visuals possible and that our clients are happy with the content we produce. Additionally, Nevion Virtuoso is user-friendly and allows us to satisfy our creativity while staying within the bounds of deadlines.”

In addition to the opportunity to expand on locations, Nevion Virtuoso will allow a52 to stream in 4K when needed and enable the studio to build out multiple steams with just one unit, it said.

“For media outlets, it is vital that their location and resources don’t restrict their creativity and hold them back from attracting new prospects,” said Hans Hasselbach, chief commercial officer, Nevion. “Nevion Virtuoso ensures a52 Color is able to achieve the highest creative interaction and offer its services to clients and agencies across the United States without compromising on quality of service.”
