Aurora Introduces and Ships New PipeSDI
April 13, 2004
Sterling Heights, MI - Aurora Video Systems released its new PipeSDI video capture and editing card, designed to take full advantage of the Final Cut Pro RT Extreme architecture while providing broadcast-quality audio and video inputs and outputs for editors working with SDI and digital audio material.
The PipeSDI features a 10 bit SDI input with up to eight channels of embedded audio in, and a 10-bit SDI output with a eight-channels of embedded audio out. This could, for example, allow editors to connect to a DigiBeta deck while connecting directly to an external video monitor and a digital deck controlled via PipeSDI's RS 422 device control port.
Four channels of 24-bit digital audio I/O, each of which comprises two
AES-compatible channel pairs, provide both excellent sound and broad compatibility while allowing users to work in multiple channels. Like all
Aurora products, cards in the new Pipe family are built on the company's years of experience in developing technology engineered exclusively for Mac systems and QuickTime applications. Consequently, no third-party software is necessary for previewing video in applications other than Final Cut Pro.
An extended Mac desktop allows users to put application windows on the NTSC/PAL output for Photoshop or other graphics applications. In addition to moving data from Final Cut Pro and putting it on-screen, Aurora Pipe cards provide real-time preview compatibility with both After Effects and Discreet's Combustion. The PipeSDI also features a custom-engineered PCI interface designed specifically for the demands of working with uncompressed video on the Mac OS X Panther.
PipeSDI is priced at $499 USD
