Edius NX

[Gary Bettan]

One of the most powerful, yet misunderstood products currently available is the Edius NX. We've been working with Canopus on the messaging for the product:

With EDIUS NX, you’re editing DV in realtime today and ready for HDV tomorrow!

Edius delivers a level of real-time performance that software based solutions simply can't come close to. With Edius NX Canopus continues the great tradition of top rated NLE solutions like DV Rex, DV Rex RT, DV Storm and the DV Storm 2, now with the additional benefits of 64-bit PCI support, analog input filtering and an easy upgrade to HD video formats like HDV, HDCAM and DVCPRO HD.

Edius NX is hardware with a FUTURE - you get unprecedented real-time DV performance today and the ability to upgrade in the future to HDV & DVCProHD. Even more important, when you do upgrade to HD in the future, you'll get the same level of real-time performance and stability that you have come to expect from Canopus NLE solutions.
