The Motu V4HD is a comprehensive plug-and-play I/O package engineered to provide video professionals with the ultimate in conversion and playback. As the V3HD was anchored by the popular and ever-growing DVCPRO HD codec, the V4HD takes the system to the next level by featuring full-raster ProRes 422 support for Apple Final Studio 2.

The V4HD supports an efficient and supported workflow path that will never overtax your system's resources, sparing your computer from the excessive overhead commonly associated with uncompressed HD video.

Whether you are using a desktop or a laptop, the V4HD is an all-in-one solution unmatched by the competition. Featuring simultaneous output support for such standards as HDMI, HD/SD-SDI, HD/SD Component, and more. Lets users monitor footage over virtually any delivery path.

• Cross-Platform Compatability: The deck can be used on both operating systems, taking advantage of either Apple's Final Cut Pro or Adobe's Premiere Pro. No matter what computer is used, the V4HD has it covered.

• DVCPRO HD Capture and Playback: Capturing and playing back high definition footage is made easy by using Panasonic's industry-standard DVCPRO HD. The codec provides a streamlined, deliverable high definition editing and finishing format widely used in the industry. Importing both 720 and 1080 couldn't be easier. Real-time up and down conversion makes it easy to view all output formats.

• ProRes 422 Support for Final Cut Studio 2: The V4HD supports Apple's high quality ProRes, establishing a concrete solution for editing with Final Cut Pro. ProRes preserves original image quality without the large overhead of sprawling files.

• Simultaneous Operation: The V4HD allows users to view multiple outputs simultaneously. This can be very useful in a variety of finishing applications, while making it easier for editors to monitor their footage whether it's standard or high definition.

• Automatic Pulldown Removal: Both 2:3 and 2:3:3:2 pulldown insertion removal allows 24fps footage to be viewed without interlacing issues. All of this can be maintained over a bevy of output options.

• Top-Notch Audio Compatiability: Known for their high quality sound devices, Motu carries over their extensive knowledge in this field to the V4HD. The result is high quality audio over 8-channels with the flexability of optical, digital or analog.
