AVID Announcement
|
* Now Available: Avid Xpress Pro HD with HDV Support! With Avid Xpress® Pro HD v5.2, Avid has elevated HDV to a true postproduction format, making it possible to take a project all the way from HDV to cinema-quality output. Both 1080 and 720 HDV formats are handled natively. No intermediate formats and no transcoding mean maximum quality in minimum time. We expect HDV support for Adrenaline is soon to follow. Also, Avid is planning a 32-city Road Show to launch the HDV release, and we are waiting to see if St. Louis is on the list. This coincides with the arrival of the JVC GY-HD100 HDV camera at Modern Communications. If the Avid HDV Road Show doesn't come to St. Louis, Modern Communications will set up an HDV show of our own!

* News from the International Broadcasters Convention in September: Avid Technology, Inc. and Microsoft Corp announced a collaborative development initiative that enables Avid to build on its existing investment in Windows ® technologies by delivering cutting-edge, professional video and audio postproduction solutions that support VC-1, the proposed SMPTE standard based on Microsoft ® Windows Media ® Video 9. Avid plans to provide native support for VC-1 in upcoming versions of its digital nonlinear video-editing products, as well as its Digidesign and M-Audio digital audio production solutions.
“Our agreement with Microsoft to support VC-1 will enable improved workflows for our customers by making it easy to publish and share media for review and approval, and encode media for web distribution and DVD authoring,” said Mike Rockwell, chief technology officer at Avid. “Native editing of VC-1 will also enable quick broadcast of material sent in from the field via network transfer. It's the first workflow of its kind that offers dramatic time and cost savings. We are pleased to work with Microsoft to break new ground in digital media production and distribution.”
VC-1 has reached the critical step of Final Committee Draft (FCD) status with SMPTE's C24 Technology Committee, in which it is officially referenced as SMPTE standard 421M. VC-1 is under consideration by a number of other standards and industry organisations, and completion of the work with SMPTE will allow interested parties to make a simple reference to the SMPTE standard to standardize it within their group.
