HDSPARK – Nonlinear Editing and HDMI Output
The HDSPARK solution is designed to support the increasing number of video professionals who are using tapeless acquisition and simply need to see their projects output in real time, using affordable HDMI monitors. Based on the PCI Express form factor, the HDSPARK board features an HDMI output for fullresolution, real-time preview monitoring. Embedded HDMI audio and separate stereo RCA jacks provide high-quality audio monitoring. It’s ideal for tapeless editing or working in a file-based, networked environment. HDSPARK is available in three different models:
• HDSPARK with EDIUS: This model includes a complete copy of EDIUS® 5 nonlinear editing software. Also included are the plug-ins, applications, and sample material (valued at over $1,000) which come with the EDIUS software. The only application that is not included is TitleMotion Pro, which is available separately.
• HDSPARK with EDIUS upgrade: This model includes an upgrade copy of EDIUS nonlinear editing software. This version is ideal for current users of EDIUS 4.x. Also included are the plug-ins, applications, and sample material (valued at over $1,000) which come with the EDIUS software. The only application that is not included is TitleMotion Pro, which is available separately.
• HDSPARK standalone: This model features only the HDSPARK board without our EDIUS nonlinear editing software. This version is ideal for current users of EDIUS 5.x. The HDSPARK solution empowers you with a constantly synched, full-resolution preview of effects and content directly from the EDIUS timeline. The HDSPARK solution can handle any mix of high- and standard-definition (HD and SD) video content; unlimited video, audio, title, and graphics layers; and any combination of real-time effects.
