EDIUS Edit Station
LAPTOP VERSION
Ideal for field editing and mobile
applications, the EDIUS Laptop Editing
Station provides superb craft editing
capability when you need it—where you
need it.
KEY FEATURES
The Grass Valley™EDIUS®Edit Stations
are superb standalone craft editors.
They are also a perfect complement to
any tapeless production solution, which
touches the entire production process,
from acquisition, ingest, and media
browsing to nonlinear editing, craft
editing, and automated playout. And they
support our Infinity™series of products
for EFP and ENG tasks.
Each EDIUS Edit Station is designed
to support the real-time editing of all
popular high and standard-definition (HD
and SD) formats including Canopus®HQ,
Canopus Lossless, DV, DVCAM, HDV,
DVCPRO, MPEG-2, and uncompressed
video while also supporting file-based
formats such as Infinity JPEG 2000, P2,
VariCam, XDCAM, and Ikegami GFCAM.
EDIUS Laptop Edit Station –
Cost-Effective Platform for Any
Workflow
Designed for mobile professionals
working with DV, HDV, and tapeless
formats in busy production workflows,
the EDIUS Laptop Edit Station is an
affordable, high-performance SD and HD
solution. It can work in a network with
other EDIUS Edit Stations or it can stand
alone as a powerful-yet-affordable craft-
editing system.
Because of its cost-effective design, you
can put an EDIUS Laptop Edit Station
in the hands of every mobile editor. The
system includes internal storage and a
DVD±RW dual-layer drive and features
a widescreen Brightview display for a
flexible mobile editing experience.
Format-Independent Craft Editing
The heart of the EDIUS Laptop Edit
Station, like that of each EDIUS Edit
Station, is a combination of high-
performance hardware and nonlinear
editing software. This combination
provides a true, real-time editing
experience—one that’s perfect for
advanced craft editing involving multiple
formats, layers, camera shots, and
complex nested sequences.
With an EDIUS Laptop Edit Station,
you can mix SD and HD assets in
the same timeline, making it perfect
for documentaries, commercials,
interstitials, and other complex or long-
form craft-editing projects, regardless of
the source or output format.
