Canopus Unveils CWS-30
April 07, 2003
Las Vegas,NV - Canopus Corporation have unveiled CWS-30, the first professional mobile editing workstation designed for remote location production to offer three streams of real-time DV output.
Combined with Canopus's acclaimed DV codec technology and the advanced Rextor NLE application software, the laptop-based CWS-30 provides video professionals with a very powerful and complete portable NLE system for remote location broadcasting, electronic newsgathering and on-location feature-film and documentary production.
CWS-30 is designed to work in conjunction with other CWS series products,
such as the CWS-100, or as a stand-alone solution for remote location
production and broadcasting. At the heart of the CWS-30 is Rextor, Canopus's
powerful nonlinear editing software solution. In addition to render-free,
real-time DV output of three video streams, Rextor offers professional
features well-suited for broadcast applications, including sophisticated
clip management with advanced search and store capabilities, real-time 2D/3D
transitions, titling with motion speed control, and a comprehensive
collection of video filters and keyers. Filters include YUV and RGB Color
Correction with real-time vectorscope/waveform display. CWS-30 also lets
editors create MPEG files for DVD, streaming video files, industry-standard
EDLs for use on other production and broadcast systems, and project files
compatible with other Canopus CWS editing systems.
CWS-30 provides quick and efficient data transfer of footage from the camera
to the CWS-30 using the Sony DSR-DU1 DVCAM video disk unit. The DSR-DU1
docks onto the rear of compatible camcorders and records video and audio
signals on its internal hard disk drive. Using the IEEE 1394 i.LINK
connector , these files can be directly transferred to Rextor's bin window,
so editors can begin editing without delay.
To ensure steady, fast data transfer, Canopus is including the CWS-MP300
external mobile video storage pack. CWS-MP300 boasts five hours of DV
storage capacity in a compact 2.5-inch enclosure. This hot-pluggable,
FireWire storage pack delivers data transfer rates three times faster than
standard DV for a data transfer rate of 11MB/sec.
CWS-30 is expected to be available from Canopus authorized dealers and
system integrators in May 2003. Pricing will depend on laptop and system
configuration.
