Why Apple Pro Technologies?
Mobile Lab's main workstation contains the maximum configuration of processors, ram, SSD's and graphics boards in Apple's new, hyperfast Mac Pro, also fitted with the added Afterburner - a card defined as a "Game-Changing Accelerator". This monster machine can process contemporarily 6 streams of ProRes 8K RAW or 23 streams of ProRes 4K RAW.
The ability to grade native 8K is even more critical than editing it.
Mobile Digital Lab also sports two of Apple's brilliant new 1000 nits. 32" displays - the 6k XDR's, which can also display HDR. In the words of Jarred Land, president Red Digital Cinema "Apple’s new hardware brings a mind‐blowing level of performance to proxy‐free r3d workflows".
Grant Petty, CEO of Blackmagic Design adds;
"With the new Mac Pro and Afterburner, we see full‐quality 8K performance in real-time with colour correction and effects, something we could never dream of doing before. DaVinci Resolve running on the new Mac Pro is easily the fastest way to edit, grade, and finish movies and TV shows.”
"In my modest opinion, I can say that I bought my first Mac more than 40 years ago, and I've always preferred them to other operating systems, thanks to their ease of use and reliability; now that the new powerful multi-processor pro workstations have become extremely powerful workhorses, and offer the flexibility of numerous card slots, its a no - brainer". (co-founder David Bush)

David Bush & Mike Connor present a cutting edge editing, colour grading and DIT unit created by them & based on their wish lists for post-production after decades of production and post-production experience.
The system is placed on or near set and is designed to save time & money for producers while offering exceptional quality for advertising, documentary, film & television production and post.
The core of the system is an extremely powerful workstation based on a fully optioned Apple Mac Pro with Da Vinci Resolve software & hardware. The combination avoids the need to use the traditional off-line (or with proxies) workflow, then re-conforming on-line, and the time required for this.
With the Mobile Lab, it is now possible to work with a full high-resolution deliverable or master in HD, 2k, 4k, or 8k from the first day of shooting.
The Mobile Lab is both a lightning-fast DIT workstation and creative editorial, colour grading and audio editing hub - all within a single system.

Alberto Parodi -
Audio post-production
and corrections on location
"I've been professionally stimulated for many years by Alberto Parodi's passion and ability in all that has to do with sound. He has continued to invest so as to have the best and most efficient technologies for his craft, and he makes it seem so easy to make it all work to the highest levels of quality and efficiency.
Its no surprise that he likes the 8k Mobile Lab that I have designed with Mike Connor, and I'm happy to explain to our clients his qualities and skills. I think he adds a winning combination to our image post production. Indeed, he's come up with a brilliant portable sound unit for audio on location that is designed to work very efficiently with the Mobile Digital Lab".
David Bush.
As with images, solving problems with audio recorded on location can also be a huge time and money saver. With more live sound productions ADR becomes necessary. Talent can sometimes have difficulty attending sessions booked months later in dubbing studios; whereas making any corrections, with quality control and ADR immediately on or near set offers a great advantage to production, with actors and actresses still there and available to re-dub the performances that are also still fresh in their minds. This is one of the many services that Alberto offers when in conjunction optionally with the Mobile Digital Lab.
He also offers the Audio Align Post Service which corrects the delay and comb-filter phase issues that occur when recording multiple moving microphones, such as in the case of a shoot set-up using a boom microphone in addition to actor’s and actress’s lavalier microphones or multiple on-set microphones.
The alignment and correction of the defects, if operated on set, saves hours and hours of tedious, time-consuming tasks in post audio facilities that often require several ear-twisting days to complete.
Additional services Alberto offers in loco with the mobile digital lab are:
-
Consultancy in Live Recording
-
Audio Editing
-
Mixing (up to 7.1 and Dolby Atmos HE)
-
Dialogue Audio Editing
-
Sound Design
Alberto also offers Quality Control of all the audio and the metadata recorded on location; Cleaning and Restoring of all the audio files including:
-
Spectral De Noising,
-
De Clicking
-
De Hum
-
De Reverb
-
De Plosive
-
De Rustle
-
De Wind
Alberto uses Protools Ultimate and Resolve’s Fairlight with all the specific software that is normally used during post-production in facilities. He is also fully operative on Da Vinci Resolve and can collaborate usefully with the editor and colourist.
Alberto's Portable Sound Design System
Alberto's Portable Sound Design System is taken on or near to the set and works in tandem with the main Mac Pro and Resolve workstation. Audio is worked on very quickly without slowing down editing and grading on the Mac Pro. (see Alberto's additional portable equipment for location recording above).
Beyond the audio acquisition and sound design opportunities, Alberto also owns and runs a state of the art sound post-production facility with Dolby ATMOS HE mixing capabilities. The facility and his services are available optionally and separately, remotely on line, or as a fixed facility to make the final mix for deliverables, if desired.
Alberto has a long list of collaborations including:-
The Moody Blues
Renato Zero
