Outstanding Real-Time Editing for
Analog, DV and HDV
The EDIUS SP Series solution is a
software/hardware system that is the
most advanced professional nonlinear
editing system in its class, one that
seamlessly integrates into existing
studio environments.
On the software side, the system uses
EDIUS nonlinear editing software to
deliver true real-time editing and full-
quality, full-resolution output of HD and
SD materials—as well as multi-track,
mixed-format editing, compositing,
chroma keying, titling, and timeline
output capabilities. In addition to the
standard formats of the EDIUS family,
the software supports Infinity
™
JPEG
2000, P2, DVCPRO HD, AVC-Intra,
VariCam, XDCAM, and GFCAM video. It
also supports all DV and HDV cameras
and decks.
On the hardware side, the EDIUS
SP Series system features hardware-
based video overlay and high-quality
video I/O circuitry. It interfaces with
professional and consumer video
equipment including HDV, DV, and
all analog cameras and decks. And it
supports professional video equipment
with component video and XLR balanced
audio I/O, as well as frame-accurate
RS-422 VTR control and external
reference sync input connections.
A 19-inch 1 RU breakout box is also
available as an option (sold separately).
Ready For HD When You Are
With EDIUS nonlinear editing software,
you can move from SD to HD whenever
you’re ready. It can edit DV content in
HD resolutions, providing automatic,
real-time upscale conversion from SD to
HD—and apply all project titles, graphics,
and effects in HD resolution. Ensuring
a painless transition to the world of HD,
you can work in and output HDV content
to hard disks or DVD-R drives without
the need for an HDV camera or deck.
