New Edius 5 (Part 1)
The new version includes Edius now the technology for a variety of video formats of today and tomorrow, covered a plethora of new programs and features that will delight the user.
Windows Vista Support
Edius 5 is completely s.die 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Microsoft Vista. These were some of the applications such as Procoder Express and Xploder removed and replaced by new components.
The Windows Vista support has been synonymous to the current extended Edius hardware and makes for Edius NX and Edius SP systems to move to Windows Vista.
Unified and extended video format support
The Edius Pro and Edius Broadcast packets are now combined into a single merged version of the program and any Edius 5 users have the option of the latest format of the video market to be processed. The new version supports the following native format in the areas of import, processing and export:
Thomson Grass Valley Infinity JPEG 2000
Panasonic DVC PRO 50 and DVC PRO HD
Panasonic P2 (drives and media)
Panasonic VariCam
Panasonic AVC-Intra
SonyXDCAM and XDCAM HD (including 4:2:2 50Mbit)
SonyXDCAM EX
JVC ProHD
Ikegami GFCAM
AVCHD
HDV
High Definition Video, HDV, briefly, is a video format that is designed to HDTV video using conventional video recording equipment. The HDV video format was Sonyand of JVC developed and is now of 59 companies. The recording is done according to the standard DV cassette in two possible formats: HDV 720p: 1280 x 720 pixels with frame rates 25p, 30p, 50p or 60p and 24p optional high-definition HDV 1080i Video: 1440 x 1080 pixels with frame rates of 50i and 60i When higher-resolution 1080i format, the individual pixels are not square, but the factor 3:4 stretched horizontally, so that synonymous here a picture format of 16:9 results. The recording of the video compression is done in MPEG2 with a data rate of about 19 Mbps at around 720p and 1080i at 25 Mbps. HDV
For most of these were specific format import tools designed to take over the synonymous associated metadata sure.
Edius 5 has been a general MXF Exporter complements the professional output options greatly expanded. The MXF container not only guarantees the compatibility with the Thomson Grass Valley K2 Media servers, but synonymous to playout servers of third parties.
It also offers an FTP Exporter MXF support and allows the use of known Edius segment encoding and multi-threaded encoding technologies for MPEG-2 data.
GPUfx - GPU Accelerated Video Transitions
After the discontinuation of Xploder Effects Edius surprised by a brand new collection of 2D and 3D transitions for SD and HD productions. With 1374 different effect presets and hundreds of predefined settings GPUfx is easy to use and yet provides full control over all effect parameters.
GPUfx transitions to use the power of the GPU *. This technology enables high-quality 2D and 3D transitions with little or no time for the calculation of the effects. GPUfx is unique compared to the competition, since all the calculations and the generation effect completely in YUV 4:2:2 color space, from memory to the CPU and GPU, and back again synonymous. Other solutions switch between YUV and RGB color space, if the data between the CPU and GPU to be replaced.
Edius GPUfx underpins the philosophy that is always on maintaining the original picture and still respects an uncompromising real-time processing in the production of broadcast content.
* GPUfx requires a graphics card with an appropriate level of 3D processing (Pixel Shader Model 3.0 or higher). Unsupported graphics cards are not able to use GPUfx Effects in a Project view.

More Mouse Action
Video - Audio - and title tracks may be in the Height and the sequence with a mouse action easy adjustment.
Improved volume control
Sometimes it is useful to two related points Gummiband simultaneously to move to the volume level to regulate. That is now synonymous in Edius 5 on the context menu. The position of the cursor defines the two adjacent left and right control points for the adjustment noted.
Improved Project Consolidation
The consolidation has been revised and dialogue makes archiving your projects easier and safer.
Improved Undo / Redo function
All settings, the setting of In - and Out-score and moving the cursor shall be recorded and can be undone or restored.
Change in color
Easy and fast are the settings for "safe colors" of each clip in the timeline or the bin set. This is particularly important to RGB-based compositions.
Improved search function in the Bin window
Searching for clips in the Bin window, with the help of "Quick-search bar" has been considerably simplified. After pressing the F3 button and entering a search, you get the result list. The clip according to Quick, Clipkommentar, file name or band name. All searches are recorded and are available on request once again.
The traditional search was expanded with additional criteria. With AND, OR and arguments are more complex searches possible and deliver significantly better results.
Further improvements
* Support for Sanyo Xacti HD file format
* Improved support for Sony
