EDIUS Pro 3 - Professional Editing Software EDIUS Pro 3 is the most powerful version yet of Canopus's acclaimed non-linear video editing software application. Freeing video editors from the limitations of conventional editing systems, EDIUS Pro 3 provides a seamless realtime workflow supporting all video acquisition formats, with realtime, multi-track, mixed format HD/SD editing, compositing, chroma keying, titling and timeline output capabilities. EDIUS Pro 3 directly supports OHCI FireWire, as well as Canopuss range of realtime editing hardware cards, including the DVStorm series and DVRaptor RT2 series, providing video input/output and accelerated realtime editing performance. EDIUS Pro 3 features the revolutionary Canopus HQ codec. Built with Canopus Scalable Technology, this completely new codec offers the highest image quality and performance available today in any HD editing platform. The Canopus HQ codec not only provides superior Luma and Chroma sampling of HD video, but also features an adjustable bitrate, for increased video quality when capturing and encoding on high-performance systems. Includes Installation CD-ROM, User manual and Reference manual.
* New Features in EDIUS Pro 3 EDIUS Pro 3, the successor to EDIUS 2.5, features over 50 new additions and enhancements. These additions represent Canopus commitment to providing their customers with highly requested features, and the continued development of solutions that support both current and future video formats.
* Migrate DV content to enhanced HDV/HD in realtime EDIUS Pro 3 is ready to move existing standard definition video to the world of HD. For example, with one simple setting, EDIUS Pro 3 edits DV content in HD resolution, providing the highest quality realtime up-res conversion from standard definition to high definition video, and all project titles, graphics and effects are performed in HD resolution. Ensuring a painless transition to the world of HD, editors can edit and output newly-created HDV content to hard disks or DVD-R drives without requiring an HDV camera or deck.
* Editing Multiple Video Formats together in Realtime Canopus has long been regarded as a leader in high-quality, high- performance video codec technology and today, more video professionals rely on acclaimed Canopus technologies for multi-format video transcoding, realtime nonlinear editing and frame-accurate MPEG editing. EDIUS Pro 3 sets an entirely new level in editing productivity by offering realtime, mixed format editing not rivaled by any other system. EDIUS Pro 3 can seamlessly edit, in realtime, any mix of HD, HDV, DV, uncompressed, 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 framerate 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.
* Video Output of different formats in Realtime EDIUS Pro 3 not only provides realtime mixed format editing, but also realtime video output to any format. This means that 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 i n realtime. For example, EDIUS Pro 3 can up-res a mix of SD MPEG-2 and DV footage for output to HD in realtime. EDIUS can also down-res a HDV project for output as uncompressed SD video in realtime. Realtime output not only provides instant results to tape or monitors, but also delivers any video in the format required.
* Future-proof scalability With Scalable Technology, there are no limits to the number of video tracks, the number of graphic and title layers or the number of effects that can be output in realtime. Other realtime video editing systems are restricted to processing only two video and graphics tracks simultaneously for realtime video output. EDIUS Pro 3 incorporates Canopus 's Scalable Technology, which ensures that there are no performance limitations in the number of video tracks, the number of graphic and title layers or the number of effects that can be output in realtime.
* Realtime Effects and Titles in HD and SD EDIUS Pro 3 empowers editors with an array of realtime filters, keyers and transitions to refine and enhance video projects, without the need for rendering. Realtime effects, filters and keyers within EDIUS Pro 3 can be stacked and used in any combination to provide unrestricted creativity. Video and audio effects may be customized and saved as presets for use in future projects.
* Board Video Equipement Connectivity and Control Although EDIUS Pro 3 is designed to work offline and independently of any video hardware, its support for IEEE 1394 OHCI FireWire controllers provide editors with connectivity to HD devices, such as the HDV cameras and decks manufactured by Sony and JVC, and Panasonic DVCPRO HD VTRs, such as the AJ-HD1200A, as well as all standard FireWire-equipped SD decks and cameras. In addition to providing complete compatibility and support for OHCI FireWire-equipped PCs, EDIUS Pro 3 is compatible with existing Canopus realtime editing hardware solutions. With EDIUS Pro 3, users of either DVStorm series or DVRaptor RT2 series hardware cards can migrate their existing SD projects and footage to HD resolution and take advantage of the new features with this release, while still retaining the high- quality, high-performing SD-based I/O and realtime processing that these legacy products deliver. EDIUS Pro 3 also powers Canopus professional range of EDIUS Solutions, which feature tight integration of software and hardware to provide the highest levels of quality, connectivity and productivity in any video production environment. |
