HDSPARK Pro

HD/SD-SDI Output For EDIUS

For editors needing high-quality audio and video monitoring capability from their EDIUS nonlinear editing system, HDSPARK Pro provides the perfect solution.

Editors of broadcast-quality programs require a means to preview and evaluate their video and audio in the best quality possible. Users in a file-based, networked environment often don't need to ingest baseband video or audio, but still want to preview projects at the same quality level as the final, delivered output. HDSPARK™ Pro hardware provides the means to do this.
