Thomson Offers New Bundle For Creative HD Editing With Thomson Grass Valley EDIUS (5/12/2007)

Creative cameramen, directors, and event videographers now have the opportunity to create a uniquely powerful post production platform at an affordable price by taking advantage of a new offer from Thomson (Euronext Paris: 18453; NYSE: TMS). The Thomson Grass Valley(tm) EDIUS(r) NX Creative HD Suite is an all-in-one bundle that brings together outstanding tools alongside the award-winning EDIUS multi-format editor, at a price of just 1399 euros.

The suite is based on EDIUS Pro 4.5 software, the latest version of the editor, which supports multiple formats on a single timeline. To meet the demand of any production requirements, EDIUS Pro 4.5 has been enhanced to natively edit images captured with the Thomson Grass Valley Infinity(tm), Panasonic P2, and Sony XDCAM cameras. This functionality is normally only found in the EDIUS Broadcast version. The bundle includes a special PCI Express accelerator card and an HDV YUV output board.

Also included in the package are the full versions of three plug-ins from ProDAD to release the creativity in any videographer. ProDAD Heroglyph is a titling package and much more. Auto-animations, complex paths, and handwriting are all included. The plug-in also includes templates for trailers, stills to video, and for 3D video walls.

ProDAD VitaScene includes more than 600 effects templates to stamp a distinctive look on any production. It adds sophisticated visual moods and gives the editor stylish, dynamic transitions quickly and simply. Finally, ProDAD Mercalli is a remarkable software scene stabilizer. Shots grabbed on the fly will look as good as tripod scenes thanks to this native EDIUS plug-in.

The EDIUS NX Creative HD Suite will be available at the special price of only 1399 Euros (not including the host PC) for the fourth quarter of 2007 only. This package represents a saving of over 500 Euros on the standard price, and is available from all EDIUS and Thomson Pro AV dealers in Europe.
