Capture, edit and export with Panasonic DVCPRO 50 and DVCPRO HD material. Developed in collaboration with Panasonic, the Canopus DVCPRO HD codec provides EDIUS Broadcast with high-quality HD video with full native DVCPRO HD (SMPTE 370M) compliance. EDIUS Broadcast supports direct HD lossless capture and print-to-tape functions with the Panasonic DVCPRO HD VTR (AJ-HD1200A) in native 1080/60i/50i via any IEEE 1394 OHCI FireWire controller. Panasonic P2 Support Increase productivity by directly editing footage stored on Panasonic P2 media with EDIUS Broadcast. With Panasonic P2 support in EDIUS Broadcast, editors have instant access to footage, bypassing the time-consuming capture/import step necessary with other digital video formats. Import DVCPRO 25, DVCPRO 50 and DVCPRO HD P2 clips stored on single or multiple cards, edit without needing to copy footage to disk and export back to P2 media for ultimate editing efficiency. Supported Hardware
