Grass Valley EDIUS SDI Desktop Edit Station – Analog, Digital SD
The EDIUS SDI edit station is a cost-effective solution for facilities that only require standard-definition (SD) SDI connectivity. With SDI video, balanced audio, RS-422 device control and SD and HD component outputs, the EDIUS SDI edit station supports any analog or digital SD production workflow.

And it's ideal for editing Infinity JPEG 2000-, XDCAM-, P2-, XDCAM HD-, and P2 HD-based materials as these formats rely upon file-based ingest.

The EDIUS SDI edit station is configurable with one or two 20- or 24-inch LCD monitors and comes with a keyboard, mouse, internal storage, and an external 19-inch breakout box—everything you need to get up and running.

Format-Independent Craft Editing
The heart of the EDIUS SDI platform, like that of each EDIUS edit station, is a combination of high performance hardware and nonlinear editing software. This combination provides a true, realtime WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editing experience—one that's perfect for advanced craft editing involving multiple formats, layers, camera shots, and complex nested sequences.

With an EDIUS SDI system, 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.

Exchange Assets Freely
The projects and assets you create on one EDIUS edit station can be freely moved and exchanged with another for a truly mobile editing experience. And by using REV PRO™ drives and removable media, you can move projects from one location to another without losing changes or missing asset files.

You can also incorporate an EDIUS SDI edit station into a network configuration for asset exchange and/or integration with our K2™ media server/media client system, Profile® XP Media Platform server, Profile 6G server, M-Series™ intelligent digital disc recorder (iDDR), or Turbo™ intelligent video recorder (iVDR).
