EDIUS Neo 2 Booster

Affordable Nonlinear Editing for AVCHD, HDV, DV, and More

Featuring a basic, entry-level range of tools and features, our EDIUS® Neo 2 Booster software is ideal for those new to video editing. Yet, it also provides powerful nonlinear editing features common to all EDIUS solutions, such as real-time, multi-track, mixed-format HD/SD editing, chroma keying, titling, and both Blu-ray disc and DVD authoring.

Built on the same highly-acclaimed technology as our EDIUS application, EDIUS Neo 2 Booster software offers native editing of various formats including AVCHD, HDV, DV, Windows Media, and QuickTime—and provides a seamless, real-time workflow that supports mixing all formats within the same timeline. And you can upgrade it to the full-featured EDIUS editing software at any time. For a comparison of our EDIUS NLE Software solutions, visit the NLE Software page.

EDIUS Neo 2 Booster software features a newly developed AVCHD codec engine. Efficient editing is possible while preserving the original image quality, with no loss of resolution or frame rate. Enables real-time playback of three or more streams without special hardware. (Verified in Grass Valley Canopus tests on computers with Core i7 processors.)

EDIUS Neo 2 Booster runs on a laptop as well as a workstation system and can input/output video from any OHCI FireWire (IEEE 1394)-compatible hardware. If you need HDMI and audio monitoring or Blu-ray Disc acceleration support, take a look at the HDSPARK™ and FIRECODER® Blu as options for EDIUS Neo 2 Booster.
