For those of you who want to use the PCI Express interface on your dual-core CPU computers, there’s a new editing option in town: EDIUS NX from Canopus, which mixes realtime HD and SD video editing in one PCI Express-based board. New pro features include realtime HQ batch capture from 1080i and 720p HDV cameras and decks, such as the Canon XL H1 and JVC GY-HD100U ProHD camcorders. When combined with the Canopus HD Expansion Kit, EDIUS hardware solutions are the only NLEs for Windows that deliver full frame-rate realtime HD playback from the timeline directly to an external HD video display. $1,299.
