Planet PC’s Edius workstation's features powerful Intel Core 2 Duo processors and incorporate the latest in reliable, tried and tested, authorised components including the new PCI-Express Graphics card technology.

EDIUS version 4.5 is here, incorporating a number of significant and highly requested new features into the powerful realtime NLE software engineered by Grass Valley.

Let the groundbreaking Grass Valley EDIUS NX Express take you to the world of high definition video production. Use any mix of HD and SD video content; work with unlimited video, audio, title and graphics layers and any combination of realtime effects; and, most importantly, preview your work in progress in high-quality, full resolution in realtime on the type of video monitor on which it is intended to be displayed, even HDTV.

Many of the HDV editing systems currently available compromise video quality in order to provide realtime editing functionality. Grass Valley EDIUS NX Express delivers genuine realtime HD resolution editing including full quality, full frame rate HD output to an HD video monitor from the timeline. Two important workflow benefits are derived from a genuine realtime HDV editing system like EDIUS NX Express:

• No rendering is required to preview edited sequences; results are displayed instantaneously — on HD video monitors.
  
• The original video and audio data can be preserved at every step of the editing process. You can always be assured that the format you start with is exactly what will be delivered. This eliminates any guesswork when applying the multitude of realtime effects featured with the system.
