Harris Will Demo Leitch VelocityX Software-Only NLE at NAB
February 08, 2006
Cincinnati, OH - Harris Corporation announced it will be showcasing enhancements across the company's range of products for the production and post production markets at the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) convention being held April 24-27 in Las Vegas.
Editing solutions featured for the post production market will include the forthcoming Leitch VelocityX software-only, non-linear editor. Sharing the Velocity editing interface with Leitch's hardware-based editing solutions, VelocityQ and VelocityHD, VelocityX provides the same flexibility and creative control in a software-only NLE. First unveiled as a technology preview last year, VelocityX will be fully demonstrated at NAB2006, and will include a new effects engine, enhanced performance and more. VelocityX is exceptionally capable as a cost-effective, standalone, software editing solution and is also perfect for VelocityQ or VelocityHD customers needing a laptop editor for field editing or for customers looking to expand their operations with additional low-cost editing seats.
Also on display will be the latest version of the VelocityHD post production HD/SD NLE. Building on the features of VelocityHD version 9.1, including support for the HDV high-definition format and variable frame rate processing for content from Panasonic's AJ-HDC27 VariCam camcorder, new features for VelocityHD will include expanded IEEE-1394 I/O support. Combining the robust Velocity software with the powerful Altitude hardware platform, VelocityHD delivers post production editing flexibility. With full-quality, real-time HD playback and editing of multiple video and dynamic graphics streams, Harris says that VelocityHD provides significant productivity gains and business results for post production professionals and facilities.
"I've been a very satisfied user of Leitch post production products for over a decade and recently added VelocityHD," said Boyd Shermis of California-based FXTC. "They continue to offer industry-leading performance with rock-solid and innovative hardware and software, enabling me to see instant results and achieve my objectives painlessly and flawlessly."
For broadcast environments, Leitch will also feature VelocityXNG, a laptop field editor designed for journalists to use as a portable news desk in remote locations, and the VelocityNX promotions craft editor for NEXIO server environments. VelocityNX offers a comprehensive editing and effects toolset designed for broadcast production environments that need high-end post features along with true shared storage; sports applications that need editing and slow-motion server output; or news operations that require additional compositing capability.
Harris will also be showcasing its extensive range of infrastructure products that form the backbone of post-production facilities and workflows, including the Leitch Panacea and Integrator for small- and mid-sized routing applications; Videotek test and measurement equipment; and Leitch's comprehensive HD conversion portfolio, featuring the X75 M-PATH multiple-path converter/synchronizer.
"Our powerful production and post production product portfolio is a cornerstone of our range of solutions for the content creation stage of the Total Content Delivery workflow," said Randy Fowlie, vice president and general manager for Harris Production and Post Products. "With the new and enhanced offerings that we're bringing to NAB, we will continue to drive our customers' success through expanded capabilities, increased productivity and greater return on investment."
