Editing Multiple Video Formats Together in Realtime
Grass Valley EDIUS software sets an entirely new level in editing productivity by offering realtime, mixed format editing not rivaled by any other system.


EDIUS software can seamlessly edit, in realtime, any mix of HD, HDV, DV, uncompressed SD, MPEG-2 and MPEG-1 video, maintaining the full native format, resolution and color space quality of all video clips. The EDIUS engine is resolution and frame-rate independent to ensure support of future video codecs and formats.

 

The productivity gains from realtime mixed format editing are immense as there is no time-consuming format pre-conversion or preparation required prior to editing.

Output a Variety of Formats in Realtime
EDIUS software not only provides realtime mixed format editing, but also realtime video output directly from the timeline. Operating solely with OHCI FireWire controllers, EDIUS software can deliver constant realtime DV output. When combined with any Canopus realtime editing hardware, EDIUS software can also provide realtime output to a number of other video formats, ranging from uncompressed analog SD and HD, right up to HD-SDI.


When outputting video from the EDIUS timeline, all aspect ratio conversions between 4:3 and 16:9 video, frame rate conversions including NTSC and PAL, and resolution conversions between standard and high definition video are processed in realtime.


Content created with EDIUS software can also be switched from HD to SD and vice versa. For example, EDIUS can automatically upscale a mix of SD MPEG-2 and DV footage for playback in HD resolutions. EDIUS can also downscale an HD project that features HDV clips and output in DV, all in realtime. Realtime output not only provides instant results to tape or video monitors, but also delivers any video in the format required.
