| Featuring a basic, entry-level range of tools and features, EDIUS Neo is perfect for the classroom environment, and still provides you with powerful nonlinear editing features that you will find in all Grass Valley EDIUS solutions, such as real-time, multi-track, mixed format HD/SD editing, chroma keying, titling and DVD authoring. Once you're ready to expand your knowledge and capabilities further, you can upgrade to Grass Valley EDIUS Pro at any time. Exceptional Mixed-Format Editing Featuring unrivaled real-time video transcoding technology, EDIUS Neo performs conversion between different HD and SD resolutions, aspect ratios and frame rates - all in real-time. Edit 1080i on a 4:3 standard definition timeline, use NTSC together with PAL or combine them all into a 720/24p project without wasting a single moment on conversion or rendering. EDIUS Neo also features real-time playback and DV output of all effects, keyers, transitions and titles. Unsurpassed Image Quality and Performance EDIUS Neo features the revolutionary Canopus HQ Codec. Designed with Scalable Technology, this innovative codec offers the highest image quality and performance available today in any HD editing platform. The Canopus HQ Codec not only provides superior Luma and Chroma sampling of HD video, but also features an adjustable bitrate for increased video quality when capturing and encoding on high-performance systems. No Special Hardware Required EDIUS Neo does not require any special hardware to work-it can run on a laptop as well as a workstation system, and can input/output video from any OHCI FireWire-compatible hardware. If you also need analog I/O support, take a look at the EDIUS Neo XL package. Key Features
