Grass Valley's EDIUS Neo 2 shares the feature set and functionality of the proven EDIUS 5.1 software and can handle any type of SD or HD project with ease. It includes a fast, flexible user interface, real-time editing and conversion of different aspect ratios (4:3/16:9), and real-time editing and conversion of different frame rates (such as 60i, 50i, and 24p).
The latest version of Neo software also features, for the first time, GPUfx, which allow users to leverage the computer's graphics card to accelerate rendering performance; a new "Layouter" feature that lets users keyframe 2D effects; lots more DVD menu presets; and the ability to output projects to AVCHD H.264/Blu-ray disc for distribution and client approval.
Unsurpassed Image Quality & Performance
The EDIUS Neo 2 software offers native editing of various formats--including AVCHD, HDV, DV, Windows Media, and QuickTime - and a seamless, real-time workflow that supports the mixing of all formats within the same timeline. In addition, the software features the revolutionary Canopus HQ Codec, which delivers 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.
