DATA SHEET

Our Grass Valley™ EDIUS® family supports the real-time editing of all popular

standard-definition (SD) and high-definition (HD) formats, including Canopus® HQ,

Canopus Lossless, DV, DVCAM, HDV, MPEG-2, and uncompressed video.

EDIUS Neo – Affordable NLE

Featuring a basic, entry-level range of tools and features, our EDIUS Neo software

is perfect for those new to video editing. Yet it also provides powerful nonlinear

editing features common to all EDIUS solutions, such as real-time, multi-track,

mixed-format HD/SD editing, chroma keying, titling, and DVD authoring.

Built on the same highly-acclaimed technology of our EDIUS Pro application, the

EDIUS Neo software offers native editing of various formats including AVCHD,

HDV, DV, Windows Media, and QuickTime—and provides a seamless, real-time

workflow that supports the mixing of all formats within the same timeline.

And should you need to extend your editing capabilities, you can upgrade to the

EDIUS Pro application at any time.

Exceptional Mixed-Format Editing

Featuring unrivaled real-time video transcoding technology, EDIUS Neo software

performs conversion between different HD and SD resolutions, aspect ratios, and

frame rates—all in real time. You can edit 1080i on a 4:3 SD timeline, use NTSC

together with PAL, or combine them all into a 720/24p project without wasting a

single moment on conversion or rendering. EDIUS Neo software also features real-

time playback and DV output of all effects, keyers, transitions, and titles.

Unsurpassed Image Quality and Performance

EDIUS Neo software features the revolutionary Canopus HQ Codec. Designed with

scalable technology, this innovative codec offers the highest image quality and

performance available on any HD editing platform. It not only provides superior

luma and chroma sampling of HD video, but also features an adjustable bit rate for

increased video quality when capturing and encoding on high-performance systems.
