Grass Valley EDIUS Pro 6.5 multiformat NLE has begun shipping, and now includes a 3D GV-EDIUS-6_5-stereoscopic
editing workflow and makes its intermediate codec available to third-party applications.

The 3D workflow has stereo editing tools and new 3D support from the EDIUS timeline across its editing peripherals, which are STORM 3G and STORM 3G Elite editing hardware with stereoscopic 3D I/O through a single 3G SDI source and dual 3G SDI signals. EDIUS software and hardware supports the common stereo modes, including side-by-side, top-and-bottom and line-by-line display.
 
EDIUS Pro 6.5 incorporates 10-bit colour correction, a new Flash exporter, improvements to the Layouter tool, native image stabilization, a built-in loudness meter and closed-caption pass-through support.

A special systemized EDIUS version, called EDIUS Elite based on EDIUS Pro 6.5, is also available that can use the proxy files created and stored on the Grass Valley K2 Summit 3G server. EDIUS Elite also allows tight integration with Grass Valley STRATUS media workflow application framework, and includes audio bit stream, or Dolby-E/ AC-3, pass-through support.
 
With a software upgrade, K2 Summit production clients and K2 Solo media servers can now be used as a 3D production server for 3D recording or replay, a 2X or 3X slow-motion recording device, or as a server for recording from 2-6 simultaneous camera feeds with at least one channel reserved for playback. The systemized EDIUS Elite version also gives direct access to K2 content and allows editing while recording, as well as the ability to directly output back to the K2 for playback.

The new EDIUS Pro 6.5 software is now shipping. Existing EDIUS 6 users can upgrade to the new version for a reduced price. www.grassvalley.com/edius    www.corsairsolutions.com.au
