Telefe's Grading team uses DaVinci Resolve in almost every television series and commercial the broadcaster produces. Thanks to continuous software updates, the Telefe department can continue its work, even during the implementation of new technologies and formats carried out by the organization.

When it comes to adapting to new platforms, technology and formats, Blackmagic is great. Thanks to its versatility and experience in market development, DaVinci Resolve is the most suitable and adaptable color correction system for all types of color work."
