An Outstanding Realtime Editing System for Analog, DV and HDV
Thomson Grass Valley EDIUS SP is the most advanced professional nonlinear editing system in its class. Boasting hardware-based editing acceleration and high-quality video input and output circuitry, EDIUS SP interfaces with professional and consumer video equipment including HDV, DV and all analog cameras and decks.

Like Thomson Grass Valley EDIUS NX Express, EDIUS SP incorporates Thomson Grass Valley EDIUS NLE software and offers true realtime editing and full quality, full resolution output of HD and SD material captured from HDV and DV decks. Additionally, EDIUS SP is designed to seamlessly integrate into existing studio environments, featuring support for professional video equipment, with component video and XLR balanced audio I/O, as well as frame-accurate RS-422 VTR control and external reference sync input connections.

A 19-inch 1U breakout box is also available as an option for EDIUS SP systems (sold separately).
