Our Grass Valley™ EDIUS® edit stations are superb standalone craft editors. They are also a perfect complement to our tapeless production solution, which touches the entire production process, from acquisition, ingest, and media browsing to nonlinear editing, craft editing, and automated playout. And they support our Infinity™ series of products for EFP and ENG tasks.

Each EDIUS edit station is designed to support the real-time editing of all popular high and standard-definition (HD and SD) formats including Canopus® HQ, Canopus Lossless, DV, DVCAM, HDV, DVCPRO, MPEG-2, and uncompressed video while also supporting emerging file-based formats such as Infinity JPEG 2000*, P2, VariCam, and XDCAM.

EDIUS Broadcast – cost-Effective Platform for Any Workflow

Designed for those working in DV and HDV formats, our EDIUS Broadcast edit station makes transitioning between SD and HD workflows affordable for production facilities of any size. It’s a perfect complement to other EDIUS edit stations or it can stand alone as a powerful-yet-affordable craft-editing system.

With optional HD and SD component outputs for editing playback and preview, the EDIUS Broadcast system is a cost-effective platform that lets you put a workstation on the desk of every editor who needs one. It is configurable with one or two 20- or 24-inch LCD monitors (optional) and comes with a keyboard, mouse, and internal storage—everything an editor needs to get up and running in any workflow.

Format-Independent craft Editing

The heart of the EDIUS Broadcast platform, like that of each EDIUS edit station, is a combination of high-performance hardware and nonlinear editing software. This combination provides a true, real-time editing experience—one that’s perfect for advanced craft editing involving multiple formats, layers, camera shots, and complex nested sequences.

With an EDIUS Broadcast edit station, you can mix SD and HD assets in the same timeline, making it perfect for documentaries, commercials, interstitials, and other complex or long-form craft-editing projects, regardless of the source or output format.

*Infinity JPEG 2000 support scheduled for Q3 2007.

Exchange Assets Freely

The projects and assets you create on one EDIUS edit station can be freely moved and exchanged with another for a truly mobile editing experience.* And by using REV PRO™ drives and removable media, you can move projects from one location to another without losing changes or missing asset files.

*As real-time playback performance depends on a system’s specification, an EDIUS Broadcast system may not be able to perform real-time playback of a project created on a higher-end EDIUS edit station.
