EDIUS NX Express – Handle Any SD/HD Mix
Designed for multi-core CPUs and motherboards with PCI Express slots, our groundbreaking EDIUS NX Express turns your desktop PC into a real-time, multi-format nonlinear editing system.

The EDIUS NX Express system can handle any mix of HD and SD video content; unlimited video, audio, title, and graphics layers; and any combination of real-time effects. It offers real-time, full-resolution, full-quality component HD and SD video output; bi-directional analog/DV conversion using our ADVC® technology from within any Windows-based nonlinear editing software; and lets you edit HD video output from a timeline.

Most important, the EDIUS NX Express system can preview your work in progress in high quality and full resolution—in real time—on the type of video monitor on which it is intended to be displayed, including HD.
