HDTHUNDER – HD/SD-SDI-Based Editing with HDMI Monitoring Output
Our HDTHUNDER hardware is a premium, high-powered solution for multi-format editing—one that supports SDI-based editing and tapeless workflows and the ability to preview projects in real time, using affordable HDMI monitors. Based on the PCI Express form factor, it includes our EDIUS nonlinear editing software, HD-SDI inputs and outputs, an HDMI video output for full-resolution, real-time preview monitoring, and embedded HDMI audio for high-quality audio monitoring.
Among the features of the HDTHUNDER solution are timecode input and output for accurate editing from field logs, reference input support for blackburst and tri-level sync, machine control for external VTR ingest, and optional VTR emulation software that that lets you control an EDIUS editor like a VTR for direct playout from the workstation.
HDTHUNDER also empowers you with a constantly synched, full-resolution preview of effects and content directly from the EDIUS timeline.
