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 and export of
files.
HDSTORM empowers you with constantly synched, 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 (see Options).
