April 19, 2005
San Jose, CA - Adobe Systems is collaborating with industry leading companies including HP, Intel, Microsoft, and Dell to deliver a line of open, scalable, certified desktop HDV and HD solutions optimized to meet the needs of video, film and broadcast professionals.
OpenHD is being established by these industry leaders to deliver a line of integrated, certified, Windows-based HD solutions, making HD technology more affordable and accessible to a broader audience. Through a joint certification process, these companies will help ensure compatibility between hardware and software components, simplifying the purchasing process and giving customers the confidence that they are buying a validated turnkey system.
The Adobe Video Collection, which includes Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5, After Effects 6.5, Adobe Audition 1.5 and Adobe Encore DVD 1.5, is the cornerstone of these certified solutions, providing the software needed to capture, edit and output professional HD productions.
The OpenHD Certified Solutions being shown at NAB have been developed to fulfill the needs of a range of DV, film and broadcast professionals working on Windows XP Professional. The HDV solution, powered by 64-bit Intel Xeon processor-based Dell Precision 670 workstation, ensures compatibility with the HDV format and enables users to edit HDV footage similar to DV without adding any specific cards. Adobe and Sony have worked extensively together to ensure the utmost compatibility between Adobe Premiere Pro and the Sony HVR-Z1 camera and HVR-M10 recorder by providing integrated HDV workflows. As an end-result, this turnkey solution enables DV professionals to expand their portfolio to include high definition content.
The uncompressed HD and uncompressed real-time turnkey solutions, powered by the HP xw8200 Workstation and packaged with the Blackmagic Decklink HD and Matrox Axio capture cards respectively, fulfill the needs of the video professionals who work with 10-bit quality HD content. The HP xw9300 Workstation powers the compressed HD real-time solution in conjunction with the Cineform ProspectHD plug-in.
