Advanced media systems provider Media 100 will demonstrate a new Mac OS X-based HD/SD nonlinear editing system at NAB2003. The system, dubbed Media 100 iHD, incorporates newly-developed HDX Technology (HDX) that features 10-bit uncompressed HD and SD I/O and real-time, broadcast-quality format conversion between any HD and SD formats.
With HDX, Media 100 iHD supports resolution independent mixing and matching of HD and SD source material in the same timeline plus 10-bit uncompressed native HD editing.
The Media 100i software supports Apple’s Mac OS X operating system and Aqua user interface, and gives Media 100iHD many powerful editorial, content design, and third-party interoperability functions, such as:
DirectEdit technology providing access to most system functions directly and easily from the timeline;
InstantMedia integration for native media compatibility with any QuickTime application
Adobe After Effects integration enabling Media 100 i timeline elements to be exported as separate After Effects layers for independent manipulation
Native-YUV color correction
Advanced sound design support for real-time audio EQ, reverb and dynamics processing on up to 24 tracks of audio
Direct timeline access to advanced Boris character generation and video effects processing
The HDX Technology supports 10-bit uncompressed input and output of all the HD and SD digital television formats defined by SMPTE 292M and SMPTE 259M, including:
1080p/30/29.97/25/24/23.976 (SMPTE 274M)
