Product 6/22
The EDIUS SP-SDI solution is a software/hardware system is an advanced professional nonlinear editing system, 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-SDI system features hardware-based video overlay and high-quality video I/O circuitry. It interfaces with professional and consumer video equipment including SD SDI, 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 1U breakout box is also available as an option for EDIUS SP-SDI systems (sold separately). The EDIUS SP baseboard is also available in a 64-bit PCI-X form factor, for those that do not require SD SDI connectivity, but do require hardware compatibility with older workstation- and server-oriented motherboards.
