Grass Valley STORM 3G PCI Express x4 Bus Card with EDIUS Pro 6.5 Software

The Grass Valley STORM 3G + EDIUS Pro 6.5 is designed for video professionals who want one solution for both SDI-based editing and tapeless workflows, with the capability to preview their projects on affordable HDMI monitors.

Based on the PCI Express form factor, the STORM 3G solution includes EDIUS Pro 6.5 nonlinear editing software, 3G HD-SDI inputs and outputs and an HDMI output for full-resolution, realtime preview monitoring. Embedded HDMI audio provides high-quality audio monitoring. It's a premium, high-powered solution for multi-format editing. Timecode input and output is supported via the RS-422 port for accurate editing from field logs. The reference input supports both analog black burst and tri-level sync. External VTR ingest can be controlled via the RS-422 port and the optional VTR emulation software may be used to control the EDIUS Pro 6.5 software like a VTR for direct playout from the workstation.

The STORM 3G board can handle any mix of high- and standard-definition (HD and SD) video content; unlimited video, audio, title and graphics layers; and any combination of real-time effects. It also offers real-time, full-resolution, full-quality HD and SD video outputs. An optional timecode in/reference out board takes a linear timecode source via the BNC connector and provides two reference outputs - black burst or tri-level sync-providing a means to synchronize both the STORM 3G and an external device, such as a source deck, from a single timecode source.
