The EDIUS SD solution has been created to facilitate studios and production houses that work primarily with standard definition video content, with a view to migrating to HD content and devices. Sharing the same realtime, multi-layer HD / SD editing and effects processing featured with EDIUS HD, EDIUS SD solutions can be upgraded to full EDIUS HD systems, complete with HD I/O, at any time.
EDIUS SD solutions are completely developed internally by Canopus and are comprised of three key components; EDIUS Pro 4 application software, built with Canopus Scalable Technology for realtime HD / SD processing, the Canopus high-quality software codecs, which include lossless, SD uncompressed, Canopus HD, Canopus HQ, and the SDRX-E1 input / output hardware card.
Key Features:-
Seamless realtime HD / SD mixed editing and integration with EDIUS Pro 4 software
High-quality Canopus software codecs: lossless, SD uncompressed, Canopus HD
(DVCPRO HD, SMPTE compliant), Canopus HQ, DVCPRO 50, DV25, MPEG-2/MPEG-1
Canopus SDRX-E1 - SDI input and output board
SDI connectivity to all broadcast SD VTRs
Frame-accurate RS-422 VTR control and external reference sync input

Canopus SDRX-E1 - SDI Input and Output Board
EDIUS SD features a proprietary hardware baseboard and input / output daughterboard. The SDRX-E1 includes an RS-422 connector to provide accurate VTR control, a SDI input connector, two SDI output connectors and a reference input connector. The I/O daughterboard can be replaced with an HD module to upgrade to a HDRX-E1 HD-SDI / SDI board
EDIUS Multi-I/O Processing Unit for HD / SD
Available as an option for both EDIUS SD and EDIUS HD solutions, is the HDBX1000 Multi-format Digital Interface Unit. HDBX1000 is a professional, high-quality, three-unit rackmount device, featuring every conceivable connection a broadcast studio may require. The HDBX1000 unit and included proprietary control card are common to both EDIUS SD and EDIUS HD, with the latter featuring an additional internal HD module to facilitate HD I/O and provide realtime down-res conversion of HD footage

Edit Multiple Formats On the Same Timeline
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 4 sets an entirely new level in editing productivity by offering realtime, mixed format editing not rivaled by any other system.
EDIUS Pro 4 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 4 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 4 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.
Realtime Effects and Tiles
EDIUS Pro 4 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 4 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
