When you edit high-profile films, television programs, or commercials for a living, your editing system becomes an extension of yourself. Media Composer Nitris DX integrates the Media Composer toolset with the new Avid Nitris DX hardware for a remarkably responsive, high performance, multi-codec SD and HD editing solution. The result is the most powerful Media Composer system ever built, supported by a company and community you can count on.

Speed through integration: Avid Nitris DX effects architecture
The new Avid Nitris DX architecture tightly connects the host graphics chip, multiple CPU cores, and PCI Express I/O hardware into a single high-bandwidth, high-performance effects engine. The architecture is optimised for highly responsive real-time editing using the latest generation of HD codecs, including HDV, XDCAM-HD, AVC-I, and Avid DNxHD, in a multi-threaded effects pipeline engineered to take maximum advantage of the host CPU and GPU resources.

Editing done right
Editing is about speed, flexibility, and "feel". Refined editing tools, integrated media management, and seamless conform help you stay relaxed and focused on telling the best story. And Avid's Open Timeline lets you juggle formats and ideas - offering real-time editing and playback of multiple SD and HD resolutions.

Seamless integration into any workflow
Native integration of P2, XDCAM-HD, and HDV formats lets you focus on editing, not getting data into and out of the system. The Avid DNxHD36 codec provides the perfect solution for HD offline. Need to go out to DVD, Blu-ray, or the Web? Sorensen Squeeze and Avid DVD by Sonic (PC only) are included for multi-format output.

Engineered for collaboration
Share media, projects, and ideas and make the best use of resources and staff skills. Media Composer integrates directly with Avid Unity shared storage solutions and the Avid Interplay nonlinear workflow engine, for real-time collaboration at every level.

Get the look, effects, and quality you envision
Match shots quickly with the industry-standard Avid colour correction toolset. Work in high-quality HD with Avid DNxHD. And push the envelope with SpectraMatte keying, Fluid Motion time effects, Boris Continuum Complete, and a wide range of third-party AVX2 plug-ins.

A worldwide, world-class community
Avid forums connect you with other editors. A range of support and training programs tailored to your needs and budget keep you on top of your game. And our online and real-world user communities provide feedback, news, and support.

Portable and powerful digital and analog I/O
Compact enough to take on location yet powerful enough to serve as the core of a professional video-editing suite, Avid Mojo SDI and Avid Mojo hardware connect to both laptop and desktop systems, both Mac and PC, with a single IEEE-1394 (FireWire) cable. Unlike other add-on hardware, they let you capture audio or video while also providing output of the same source, so you can monitor what you're capturing, including watching video on a client monitor while recording voiceover – impossible with hardware from other manufacturers. In addition, Avid Mojo and Avid Mojo SDI let you monitor and output HD timelines in SD with realtime down-convert.

Avid Mojo SDI
Avid Mojo SDI provides the highest quality professional SD connections to facility-class cameras, decks and digital pipelines. In addition to serial digital video, Avid Mojo SDI also provides I/O for IEEE-1394, and either component or composite and S-video. Mojo SDI supports up to 8 channels of embedded audio over SDI and 2 channels of optical S/PDIF audio, with additional connections for 4 channels of AES/EBU audio.
