Canopus Accelerates Output for EDIUS Pro 3 Users With New EDIUS Speed Encoder for HDV (4/9/2005)

MPEG-2 encoder plug-in for EDIUS Pro 3 delivers up to twice the speed on dual-core CPU systems

Canopus, leaders in the digital video codec, encoding and production arena, is speeding up HDV output for EDIUS Pro 3 users with the announcement of EDIUS Speed Encoder for HDV. Taking advantage of the new powerful dual-core CPU systems, EDIUS Speed Encoder accelerates HDV (MPEG transport stream) file encoding direct from the EDIUS Pro 3 timeline, producing HDV footage up to twice as fast as standard encoders.

Normally when encoding to HDV format, only one CPU is used during the process, even when there are multiple CPUs available, said Hiro Yamada, founder and chairman of the board at Canopus. Optimised for the very latest dual-core CPU systems, the EDIUS Speed Encoder for HDV sets new standards for HDV file encoding.

The EDIUS Speed Encoder for HDV will be available by the end of September from Canopus authorised resellers and system integrators for a suggested retail price of Û129 (£89) excluding tax.
