Key Features

• EDIUS SP-SDI Hardware
The EDIUS SP-SDI hardware consists of a baseboard, component video output board, and an SDI I/O bracket. The capture system features component, S-Video, and composite inputs for analog video capture and output. Audio can be input and output via balanced XLR or unbalanced RCA connections. The card also features FireWire and RS-422 options for deck control.
 

• HD Editing
EDIUS allows you to edit DV content in HD resolution using automatic, realtime upscale conversion from SD to HD. This allows you to render graphics and effects in HD, improving their quality when downconverted for SD output. You can even export HDV content to hard disks or DVD-R without the need for an expensive HDV camera or deck.
 

• Mixed Format Timeline
EDIUS supports a mixed format timeline that lets you work with multiple video formats in realtime. This lets you mix HD and SD resolutions, aspect ratios and frame rates without the hassle of constant rendering. You'll even be able to playback DV output of effects, keyers, transitions and titles in realtime while you edit.
 

• High Quality Codec
EDIUS is built around the Canopus HQ Codec. This has been designed in conjunction with Scalable Technology to deliver high image quality and performance for HD video. It provides superlative Luma and Chroma sampling and adjustable bitrates when encoding.
