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.
