Leitch Technology is planning to bundle Ciprico's Huge Systems MediaVault U320RX and U320S Dual Max storage arrays with the turnkey configurations of Leitch's own VelocityHD non-linear editing system. The North American-configured edit system and MediaVault will be able to process two simultaneous streams of uncompressed 10-bit HD video content with effects, at frame sizes/rates up to 1080i/59.94--or up to eight uncompressed SD video streams simultaneously.
This level of performance would allow video editors to add effects and edit content online in real-time without having to wait for rendering, to improve workflow efficiency, according to Ciprico. It would also allow editors to better focus on content production, rather than on post-production processing. VelocityHD offers full-bandwidth HD playback of two video streams, two dynamic graphics streams, and optional real-time 3D DVE (digital video effects). Its SD editing performance features real-time playback and mixing of multiple SD video and graphics streams, and the HD-SD flexibility is designed to make VelocityHD suitable for transition to total HD, if desired.
