The Grass Valley HDSPARK Pro Hardware Board allows editors to preview and evaluate their video/audio using the EDIUS nonlinear editing system. It enables users in file-based/networked environment to preview projects at the post-production quality level.
Featured HD/SD-SDI output allows for full-resolution, real-time monitoring via Edius NLE software. Audio monitoring is offered using 2-channel AES digital audio output (via BNC connector) and 2-channel unbalanced audio output (via RCA jacks). Precise editing and trimming is possible via video and audio outputs that stay in sync with editing windows.
