It’s important to stress the “native” part. With many prosumer and even professional cameras adopting some form of AVCHD, EDIUS 6 users will be happy to know that it can also handle real-time, multi-stream editing of AVCHD content. This is supposed to be very computationally intensive, but both 50 and 100 Mb/s files were a breeze to work with inside EDIUS 6 and on this workstation. The “sweet spot” in my tests was Panasonic’s AVC-Intra codec. Possibly even more important – you can also drag-and-drop Canon H.264 files from a Canon EOS 5D or 7D and start editing right away. My system natively supported a wide range of the professional acquisition codecs, including the newly added Canon XF MPEG2 4:2:2 codec. This is of particular interest to P2 and XDCAM shooters. Grass Valley promotes EDIUS 6 around the ability to throw nearly any codec or format at it and being immediately ready to edit – in real-time without the need to render. I was operating in a software-only configuration, but EDIUS 6 can also be integrated with Grass Valley’s line of STORM and SPARK i/o cards when you use a tower instead of a mobile system. This is a robust, top-of-the-line mobile workstation with more horsepower than most desktop units. I was able to test it on a new HP EliteBook 8740w with the Windows 7 64-bit Professional OS installed.
EDIUS 6, the newest version of Grass Valley’s primary editing platform advances this endeavor.ĮDIUS 6 is exclusively a Windows-based NLE, running under a wide range of configurations.
