A single PCI Express form factor board and packaged
with a full version of the latest EDIUS editing
software, HDSTORM™ allows you to work with HDMI inputs
and outputs, and has a Canopus HQ hardware codec
built-in for optimized, CPU-free capture.
HDSTORM empowers you with constantly synced,
full-resolution preview of effects and content directly
from the EDIUS timeline. The power of having the Canopus
HQ codec on-board means you won't be restricted by CPU
speeds or workstation limitations when ingesting or
creating high-quality Canopus HQ AVI files for editing.
Keeping the compression processing separate from your
CPU brings new reliability and system performance to the
editing and effects creation environment.
Working as a perfect combination of software and
hardware, HDSTORM can handle any mix of HD and SD video
content; unlimited video, audio, title, and graphics
layers; and any combination of real-time effects.
If you are still making the transition to an
all-digital, high-definition workflow, you can purchase
the optional HDSTORM Bay at any time, to add a
comprehensive set of analog inputs and outputs. The
HDSTORM Bay is included as standard with the full
HDSTORM Plus package.
