From edit to delivery.
Editing, colour, audio post and shared storage — for solo editors, collaborative teams and full post-production houses.
Outside broadcast in MENA is evolving rapidly — IP-native OB vehicles are replacing SDI-based trucks, allowing smaller teams to operate more flexibly with less infrastructure. MediaCast's portfolio covers every layer of the IP-native OB van: cameras, switching, graphics, IP transport, control panels, routing and monitoring — all from brands with regional distributor support.
THE BRIEF
Who this solution is designed for.
For the solo editor, the post house and everyone in between — one workflow, one application, one distributor.
DaVinci Resolve’s transformation from a colour grading tool to a full post-production platform has changed how post facilities are built. Where three separate applications once handled editing, grading and audio, a single DaVinci Resolve Studio installation now handles all three — reducing software costs, eliminating round-trip workflows and putting the full post pipeline on one shared storage system.
The result for MediaCast’s customers is a post workflow that scales elegantly. A full post house can build ten simultaneous DaVinci Resolve editing and grading seats, all working on the same SNS shared storage pool, for a fraction of what the same configuration would have cost five years ago.
The audio post layer completes the picture. Universal Audio’s Apollo interfaces bring studio-grade conversion and UAD processing into the audio post suite. MOTU’s AVB interface range handles multi-channel playback for immersive audio facilities. IK Multimedia’s self-calibrating iLoud monitors make accurate monitoring possible in post suites where acoustic treatment is limited.
Equipment Breakdown
Every layer of the post-production workflow.
EDITING & GRADING
The Application
DaVinci Resolve Studio
Blackmagic Design The industry standard. Editing, colour grading, VFX (Fusion), audio post (Fairlight) and collaboration — in one application. Available as a one-time Studio licence or free with major Blackmagic hardware. Used in virtually every major film and television production worldwide.
DaVinci Resolve (Free)
Blackmagic Design The full editing and colour environment — free. Studio licence adds collaboration, noise reduction, 3D and 4K UHD output. Start free; upgrade to Studio when your workflow demands it.
CONTROL SURFACES
Physical Control
Blackmagic Advanced Panel
Blackmagic Design The full DaVinci Resolve colour grading panel. Three trackballs, dedicated rings for lift/gamma/gain, transport controls, monitoring and node management — all in hardware. The tool every serious colourist wants.
Blackmagic Mini Panel
Blackmagic Design The mid-size panel for colourists who want hardware precision without the footprint of the Advanced Panel.
Blackmagic Micro Panel
Blackmagic Design Compact three-trackball panel. The entry point for hardware grading control — transforms the efficiency of colour work even in small setups.
Vizrt TriCaster Mini S
Blackmagic Design Cut-optimised keyboard for DaVinci Resolve editing. JKL shuttle, search dial and dedicated editing keys — significantly faster than mouse-only editing workflows. Custom dials, jog wheel, tactile control for EQ, grading and editing in any DAW or NLE. Physical control for audio levels, colour correction and timeline navigation in DaVinci Resolve and other NLEs.
SHARED STORAGE
The Foundation
SNS EVO 8
SNS Entry shared storage for small post teams — 2–4 simultaneous editors on HD/4K content. Purpose-built for media production workflows.
SNS EVO 16
SNS The workhorse. 4–8 simultaneous editors on demanding 4K/6K/8K content including Blackmagic RAW. The correct specification for most professional post facilities in the region.
SNS EVO 24
SNS For larger facilities — 8+ simultaneous editors on high-resolution or high-bitrate material. Scales without architectural changes.
SNS EVO 32 + EVO Expand
SNS The largest configuration for enterprise post facilities and broadcast organisations with high concurrent user counts and large media archives.
VIDEO INFRASTRUCTURE
I/O & Monitoring
Blackmagic UltraStudio 4K Extreme
Blackmagic Design Thunderbolt capture and playback card for DaVinci Resolve. SDI and HDMI I/O for external reference monitoring and tape output.
Blackmagic Smart Videohub 12×12
Blackmagic Design Routing switcher for distributing signals between edit bays, grading suites and review rooms in a multi-room facility.
Blackmagic Teranex Mini
Blackmagic Design Standards conversion and format bridging. Converting master deliverables to broadcaster and streaming platform requirements.
Blackmagic SmartScope Duo 4K
Blackmagic Design Waveform, vectorscope and other measurement displays for technical QC — confirming legal signal levels before delivery.
AUDIO POST
Sound for Picture
Universal Audio Apollo x4
Universal Audio Thunderbolt interface for audio post — bringing studio-grade conversion and UAD processing into the Fairlight audio environment within DaVinci Resolve.
Universal Audio Apollo x6l
Universal Audio 6-channel Apollo with additional I/O for post facilities needing multi-channel monitoring or outboard integration.
MOTU 24Ai / 24Ao
MOTU 24-channel analogue I/O for Atmos and immersive audio post suites requiring multi-speaker monitoring configurations.
IK Multimedia iLoud Precision 5/6
IK Multimedia Self-calibrating studio monitors for audio post. ARC room correction compensates for the acoustic limitations of post suites that aren't purpose-built.
UAD Plug-in Library (via Spark)
Universal Audio The industry's most trusted audio post plug-ins — dialogue EQ, de-noise, reverb and dynamics from Neve, SSL and more — available in Fairlight within DaVinci Resolve.
REFERENCE MONITORING
Colour Accuracy
