HDTHUNDER is designed for video professionals who want one solution
for both SDI-based editing and tapeless workflows, with the capability to preview their projects on affordable HDMI monitors. Based on the PCI Express form factor, the HDTHUNDER solution includes EDIUS® nonlinear editing software, HDSDI inputs and outputs, and an HDMI output for full-resolution, real-time preview monitoring. Embedded HDMI audio provides high-quality audio monitoring. It’s a premium, high-powered solution for multi-format editing.
Timecode input and output is supported for accurate editing from field logs. The reference input supports both analog
blackburst and tri-level sync. External VTR ingest can be controlled via the RS-422 port and the optional VTR emulation software may be used to control the EDIUS software like a VTR for direct playout from the workstation.
The HDTHUNDER board can handle any mix of high- and standard-definition (HD and SD) video content; unlimited video, audio, title, and graphics layers; and any combination of real-time effects. It also offers real-time, full-resolution, full-quality HD and SD video outputs.
