Grass Valley HDSTORM with EDIUS 6 - HDMI-Based Editing For The Digital Generation
The Grass Valley HDStorm Plus Board & Edius 6 Software is a combination of software and hardware solution for non-linear editing applications.
The HDStorm Plus board is a PCI Express-based hardware that features HDMI input/output for connecting to the HDMI devices and live monitoring via the Edius NLE software. You can use the hardware board for handling a mix of high-definition and standard-definition (HD and SD) video content, video, audio, title, graphics layers, and any combination of real-time effects. Precisely synchronized full resolution preview of effects and content are available from the Edius timeline.
Built-in Canopus HQ codec allows you to quickly create high quality video in Canopus HQ AVI format for editing. Isolating the compression processing from the CPU offers reliable editing and effects creation. Using the HDStorm bay, it is possible to add HD/SD analog component, S-Video, and composite input/output.
With Player/Recorder monitor view, you can use the player side to handle capture and source trimming, while the recorder side can be used for controlling timeline operation and trimming. Using the slider, mouse scroll-wheel, or mouse motion, the Jog/Shuttle control allows the users to shuttle or jog through audio or video media. The HDStorm Plus board offers live color correction with an interactive split-screen display and secondary controls. In addition, you can stack multiple filters for proper color control. By creating folders and offering dynamic search results, the board provides efficient asset management.
A real-time audio mixer allows for accurate audio adjustments and a real-time waveform/vectorscope provides the required output. By using the GPU as an additional computational source, the HDStorm Plus board reduces burden on the CPU for handling high quality graphics. In addition, the HDStorm Plus board supports DTE (direct-to-edit) devices such as Panasonic P2 and VariCam, Sony XDCAM, and Ikegami GigaFlash.
Edius 6 Editing Software is a multi-format editing program designed for use by both filmmakers and broadcast professionals. It supports real-time conversion and editing of resolutions up to 4K and 10-bit editing support. In addition, the software also features real-time effects, keyers, transitions, and titles.
With multicam editing, up to 16 different sources can be edited simultaneously. Allowing data export in AVCHD format to a media card, the editing software supports the Canon XF format and the EOS movie format. In addition, you can directly export data to a Blu-ray Disc and a DVD. Featuring unlimited video, audio, title, and graphics tracks, the editing software offers flexible user interface.
