Intensity Pro
High Definition or Standard Definition
The Intensity Pro allows you to work with HD footage while still retaining compatibility with SD video. It supports both NTSC and PAL video standards.
Digital HDMI and Analog Support

Windows XP or Mac OS X Compatible
The Intensity is fully compatible with systems running Mac OS X and Windows XP. This lets you leverage the card's features regardless of the operating platform on which you edit.
Down Conversion and Real Time Effects

Premiere Pro CS3
Multicamera Editing
The software features full support for multicamera editing, supporting up to four simultaneous cameras. You can view tracks from a multicamera shoot easily and switch between them on the fly, making it easy to cut between several different angles without having to spend all your time matching action.
Encore DVD Authoring
Premiere Pro includes Encore, a full DVD production suite with support for DVD, Blu-ray and Flash. You'll be able to create a single project and choose to build for one of these formats on the fly, eliminating the need for maintaining separate projects for SD, HD and web authoring.
Native HDV Editing Support
The software supports native HDV editing, allowing you to work with high-definition video without suffering any conversion or quality loss. With a powerful computer, you can even play back your video in real time without spending hours rendering transitions, titles, effects and color correction.
Enhanced Color Correction
You can now take advantage of enhanced color correction tools. Choose fast correction for quick adjustments or opt to use several secondary color-correction tools to make more detailed modifications.
