HD and SD Video Capture for Archival and Distribution
Grass Valley Pegasus is a high-quality video capture system comprised of PCI Express hardware and software. Capable of accepting input from a variety of standard definition (SD) and high definition (HD) sources, including PC graphics, and featuring a Canopus HQ hardware codec chip, Pegasus lets you preview, capture and store footage in pristine quality – perfect for archiving or delivering out via SD and HD mediums.

The Demo Video Creator's Dream Come True
At last, there is an affordable, easy-to-use solution for capturing video for use in demonstration and training videos. Pegasus' inputs include S-Video, YUV and RGB analogue and HDMI*, making it ready for today's range of video game consoles. With the included converter cable, you can also capture VGA output – ideal for creating tutorials of your software. But it doesn't end there, as Pegasus can also capture external two-channel analogue audio, and up to eight channels of embedded audio via HDMI.

And since Pegasus is a hardware-based image capture solution, there’s no need to worry about system specifications allowing for realtime, full frame rate, high resolution video capture.

Onboard Canopus HQ Codec Chip – Capture with the Best
Already a prominent part of Grass Valley's EDIUS line of NLE solutions, the Canopus HQ codec offers supreme visual quality without the excessive hard disk storage costs normally associated with HD video ingest. With Pegasus, you can be assured that the HD video content you output from your HD sources will be perfectly preserved, ready for you to either edit, author to DVD, Blu-ray or HD DVD, or store for later usage. Because the input quality is so clean, subsequent conversions to other distribution formats – such as mobile phones or the Web – are cleaner too.

Pegasus includes the Canopus Codec Pack for you to incorporate your captured Canopus HQ AVI files into any Windows®-based video application.

Key Features:

• High-quality capture of standard- and high-definition (SD and HD) video using an onboard Canopus HQ hardware encoding chip
  
• Capture up to 1920x1080/60i, 50i(**), and 1280x720/60p, 50p video
  
• Capture PC display signals up to 1280x1024 without downscaling
  
• Capture via HDMI(*), DVI†;, S-Video, YUV, and RGB component inputs
  
• HQ recorder to capture software via three modes:
  • Auto capture (when an input signal is detected)
    
  • Manual capture
    
  • Scheduled capture
• Includes Canopus codec pack for import of Canopus HQ AVI files in Windows-based video applications
  
• Software development kit (SDK) for software engineers to create custom solutions based on Pegasus technology

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

Powering EDIUS NX Express is Canopus EDIUS Pro 4, nonlinear editing software.

EDIUS Pro 4 provides editors with realtime, mixed format HD / SD editing, including HD, HDV, DV, MPEG-2, lossless and uncompressed video. Featuring unrivaled realtime video transcoding technology, EDIUS Pro 3 performs conversion between different HD and SD resolutions, aspect ratios and frame rates, in realtime. EDIUS Pro 3 also features realtime playback and DV output of all effects, keyers, transitions and titles, and can export projects to any format or medium required, including DVD-Video.

EDIUS Pro 4 features the revolutionary Canopus HQ codec. Built with Canopus Scalable Technology, this completely new codec offers the highest image quality and performance available today in any HD editing platform. The Canopus HQ codec not only provides superior Luma and Chroma sampling of HD video, but also features an adjustable bitrate, for increased video quality when capturing and encoding on high-performance systems.

Transitions with EDIUS FX and Xplode for EDIUS
EDIUS Pro features Xplode for EDIUS and EDIUS FX, advanced 2D and 3D video effect engines. These transition effects incorporate proprietary Canopus Effects Technology and provide the power to create stunning and professional quality video transitions. With over 40 transition groups to choose from, each with customizable options, controls and numerous presets, Xplode for EDIUS and EDIUS FX provide sophisticated power for the demanding video editor.

VST Audio Plug-in Support
In addition to the included audio filters, EDIUS Pro can make use of any third-party audio effects that make use of the Virtual Studio Technology (VST) interface standard. This allows any number of additional realtime audio effects to plug into EDIUS Pro for more sophisticated audio editing.

Quick Titler
EDIUS Pro 4 includes a basic character generator and titling program, to allow editors to quickly create titles for their projects in either HD or SD resolution. Quick Titler features preset text styles and artwork objects for fast title creation, in addition to providing the tools and options for creating customized titles and objects, all of which can be aligned and positioned with absolute precision. Quick Titler also supports text file importing and titles can be set with either a static, roll or crawl animation preset, resulting in effortless creation of project credits.
