DVEO Introduces the HD-SDI Master - A Full Featured Dual Channel PCI-X Bus Based HD-SDI (SMPTE 292M) I/O Card (10/5/2005)

DVEO, the broadcast division of CMI, will launch the HD-SDI Master(tm) at NAB 2005. HD-SDI, also known as SMPTE 292M, is the well-known standard for storing uncompressed high definition in the content creation process. The HD-SDI Master is designed as a low-cost PCI X bus based I/O card for HD video Servers, HD disk recorders, and HD editing systems.

DVEO designed the HD-SDI Master based on specifications requested by a major television studio. It is primarily targeted at video editing applications such as Adobe Premiere Pro enabling editors to work in high definition uncompressed 10-bit has as well as with uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2 HD-SDI 10-bit YCbrCr video. It supports 1080i, 1080p and 720p resolutions with 8 channels of AES/EBU digital audio. With simultaneous standard definition down-conversion for viewing HD content on an SD-SDI broadcast monitor, the HD-SDI Master is well suited for video editing applications.

"Upon introduction, DVEO's HD-SDI Master will be the only full-featured, low-cost PCI-X card specifically designed for the video editing community." Stated Les Zoltan, Sales Manager.
