Format-Independent Craft Editing

The heart of the EDIUS Broadcast laptop system, 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 laptop 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.

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.

Flexible Bin Structure

Organize, search, and manage assets with folders and dynamic search results.

Real-Time Audio Mixer and Waveform/Vectorscope

Use the real-time audio mixer for audio adjustments and the real-time waveform/

vectorscope to ensure legal output.

Tapeless Workflow Support

Support for tapeless productions with metadata preservation for modern file-based workflows.

GPU-Accelerated 3D Transitions

Harness the power of your graphics card to create real-time, stunning quality transition effects in SD and HD. Using the GPU as an additional, parallel source of computation means that the CPU does not become a bottleneck.

You can also incorporate an EDIUS Broadcast laptop edit station into a network configuration for asset exchange and/or integration with our K2 media server/media client system, Profile® XP Media Platform server, Profile 6G server, M-Series™ intelligent video digital recorder (iVDR), or Turbo™ intelligent digital disk recorders (iDDRs).

* As real-time playback performance depends on a system’s specification, an

EDIUS laptop system may not be able to perform real-time playback of a project

created on a higher-performance EDIUS edit station.
