NX for HDV

Edius works very well without any additional hardware, and just an OHCI port. However, if you want analogue i/o or you want to be able to watch your HD picture at full resolution when editing then you need to add extra Canopus hardware board.

HD support

Some of the Canopus hardware comes as a two board set - one main board and one that has component HD outputs. The boards themselves are PCI, PCI-X or PCIe (check that the board you choose will fit into your computer before ordering) he HD output is extremely important. With most HD formats you cannot play the footage live back to the deck/camera when editing. This means that without additional hardware you only see your picture on the computer screen when editing - so you cannoty judge the colour correction or changes to exposure properly, or judge how well the edges of effects look, even judge whether the shot was focused properly when filming. You need to see the full picture on a screen when editing - so you really need to buy a system with one of Canopus' hardware boards.

Support for Adobe and other programs

The Canopus hardware can output footage from various other programs including Adobe After Effects and Photoshop. They do not work with Premiere Pro - Canopus no longer support output from Premiere with their hardware. Some of the cards can function as an analogue-digital converter as well as a special Edius output card. When in this mode they effectively act like a DV camera attached to the computer's FireWire port. Therefore if you read that a Canopus NX, for example, can output from Premiere Pro, it is only when in this mode where it will output the same thing as a camera would if attached to the computer FireWire port.

Different bundles

Canopus do different bundles of software and hardware. Full details of the different bundles is presented below:

Quantity:

Canopus Creative Suite

Canopus Creative Suite


Price: £999.00 (£1,173.83 Including VAT at 17.5%)

Quantity:


NX BAY - adds front mounted sockets to your PC - £89 +VAT

The Creative Suite has a special version of Edius 4.6 and includes the ProDad software, HeroGlyph, Mercalli Expert and Vitascene. It does not include Title Motion Pro, Heroglyph takes its place, and does not include speed encoder.

The special version of Edius is the normal Edius pro but with support for Panasonic P2, Sony XDCAM and EX-1 and the Grass Valley Infinity camera. This is not the broadcast version of Edius, but a special version which includes support for these formats.

It also includes the Canopus NX card with the PCI HDV expansion card. This is slightly different to the NXe, which we have been selling for the last few months, although the difference is not huge. The NXe has hardware chips on board to encode footage into standard definition MPEG2 and MPEG 4; these are not included with the Creative suite. Since you cannot use these with the built-in DVD writing in Edius, or if you use the full version of ProCoder which we include as standard in all our editing systems, you will get better quality, the omission of these chips is not that important.

Also included with this bundle is software to write Blu-ray discs.
