Canopus Unveils EDIUS HD
April 18, 2004
Las Vegas, NV - Canopus Corporation has unveiled its high definition editing system, EDIUS HD, offering realtime mixed HD/SD editing in a turnkey system for the broadcast and content creation market.
At the heart of EDIUS HD is the proprietary Canopus HD software codec, the manufacturer describes, providing high-quality, realtime compression, processing, filtering and decoding of multiple HD streams. The Canopus HD software codec supports HD signal recording, using the Canopus HDRX-E1 board, and playback from the hard disk to HD-D5, HDCAM or DVCProHD VTRs.
EDIUS Pro software redefines video production efficiency with realtime, multi-track HD editing, compositing, chroma keying, titling and timeline output. EDIUS Pro lets users edit HD projects in HD resolution and frame rates, eliminating the need to downconvert for editing, as many other systems require.
When using EDIUS Pro, editors are not restricted to working in just one format. EDIUS Pro seamlessly handles SD and HD clips within complex timeline compositions in realtime and can upconvert, downconvert and output in realtime while retaining the highest possible image quality. Mixed editing with EDIUS Pro saves video professionals additional production time by eliminating the need to upconvert SD video to HD format before starting the editing process
The EDIUS Pro interface provides editors with instant response when maneuvering through even the most complex HD/SD timeline projects while easily handling thousands of clips. Nearly all aspects of the user interface are customizable including window positioning and layout, available buttons, effects presets and Bin window displays.
EDIUS HD includes Inscriber TitleMotion HD for Canopus, which provides editors with tools to create high-quality titles and features realtime preview of all titles during composition. Featuring keyframable animation capabilities within both 2D and 3D spaces, TitleMotion HD can produce polished broadcast titles within minutes.
The HDRX-E1 input/output board includes RS-422 support to provide frame-accurate VTR control and is equipped with standard BNC connectors for HD-SDI and SDI (two output connectors and a reference input connector).
The EDIUS HD system will be available in June 2004 through certified Canopus broadcast resellers.
