Manufacturer Part Number: 608243 Grass Valley STORM 3G hardware kit for use with EDIUS 6 or EDIUS Pro 6.5. DESCRIPTION
NEW: The STORM™ 3G and STORM 3G Elite editing platforms —are both supported via the EDIUS timeline with stereoscopic 3D I/O through a single 3G SDI source and/or dual 3G SDI signals. Among the features of the STORM 3G solution are 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 Workstation like a VTR for direct playout from the workstation. STORM 3G also empowers you with a constantly-synched, full-resolution preview of effects and content directly from the EDIUS timeline. STORM 3G™ is designed for video professionals who want one solution for both SDI-based editing and tapeless workflows, with the capability to preview their projects on affordable HDMI monitors. Based on the PCI Express form factor, the STORM 3G solution includes EDIUS® nonlinear editing software, 3G HD-SDI inputs and outputs, and an HDMI output for full-resolution, real-time preview monitoring. Embedded HDMI audio provides high-quality audio monitoring. It’s a premium, high-powered solution for multi-format editing. Timecode input and output is supported via the RS-422 port for accurate editing from field logs. The reference input supports both analog blackburst and tri-level sync. External VTR ingest can be controlled via the RS-422 port and the optional VTR emulation software may be used to control the EDIUS software like a VTR for direct playout from the workstation. The STORM 3G board 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 outputs. An optional timecode in/reference out board takes a linear timecode source via the BNC connector and provides two reference outputs-blackburst or tri-level
sync-providing a means to synchronize both the STORM 3G and an external device, such as a source deck, from a single timecode source. Key Features - 3G-SDI input and output with embedded audio and timecode
- HDMI output for full-resolution, real-time monitoring from the included EDIUS NLE software
