HD/SD-SDI-Based Editing with HDMI Monitoring
Output
Our HDTHUNDER hardware is a premium, high-powered
solution for multi-format editing—one that supports
SDI-based editing and tapeless workflows and the
ability to preview projects in real time, using
affordable HDMI monitors. Based on the PCI Express
form factor, it includes our EDIUS nonlinear editing
software, HD-SDI inputs and outputs, an HDMI video
output for full-resolution, real-time preview
monitoring, and embedded HDMI audio for high-quality
audio monitoring.
Among the features of the HDTHUNDER solution are
timecode input and output for accurate editing from
field logs, reference input support for blackburst
and tri-level sync, machine control for external VTR
ingest, and optional VTR emulation software that
lets you control an EDIUS editor like a VTR for
direct playout from the workstation.
HDTHUNDER also empowers you with a
constantly-synched, full-resolution preview of
effects and content directly from the EDIUS
timeline.
As for the HDTHUNDER board, it can handle any mix of
high- and standard-definition (HD and SD) video
content; unlimited video, audio, title, and graphics
layers; and any combination of real-time effects. It
also offers real-time, full-resolution, full-quality
HD and SD video output.
