STAFF HDTV/Alta Definición already owned several MacPro towers, but we discovered that only the most recent one they had purchased in 2010 qualified to accept the best GPU (graphics processing unit) card recommended by Blackmagic. David Catt has agreed to join us on an upcoming episode of TecnoTur to discuss grading and the differences between different DaVinci Resolve configurations. This article explains the details of the system they purchased (hardware + software), installation and preparation, main points covered in the class, and the students.

The client who recently purchased the new Mac-based DaVinci Resolve system is Julio Borrayo, president of STAFF HDTV/Alta Definición, which produces high-end TV commercials in Guatemala.

David Catt taught 7 Guatemalans how to perform grading, including color correction and more using DaVinci Resolve. (Since then, DaVinci Systems was purchased in 2009 by Blackmagic Design). I just returned from the Republic of Guatemala in Central America, where I interpreted a class for David Catt, the original product manager at DaVinci Systems.
