Grass Valley EDIUS Broadcast Desktop Edit Station – Cost-Effective Platform for Any Workflow
Designed for those working in DV and HDV formats, our EDIUS Broadcast edit station makes transitioning between SD and HD workflows affordable for production facilities of any size. It's a perfect complement to other EDIUS edit stations or it can stand alone as a powerful-yet-affordable craft-editing system.

With optional HD and SD component outputs for editing playback and preview, the EDIUS Broadcast system is a cost-effective platform that lets you put a workstation on the desk of every editor who needs one. It is configurable with one or two 20- or 24-inch LCD monitors and comes with a keyboard, mouse, and internal storage—everything an editor needs to get up and running in any workflow.

Format-Independent Craft Editing
The heart of the EDIUS Broadcast platform, like that of each EDIUS edit station, is a combination of high-performance hardware and nonlinear editing software. This combination provides a true, realtime editing experience—one that's perfect for advanced craft editing involving multiple formats, layers, camera shots, and complex nested sequences.

With an EDIUS Broadcast edit station, you can mix SD and HD assets in the same timeline, making it perfect for documentaries, commercials, interstitials, and other complex or long-form craft-editing projects, regardless of the source or output format.

Exchange Assets Freely
The projects and assets you create on one EDIUS edit station can be freely moved and exchanged with another for a truly mobile editing experience. And by using REV PRO™ drives and removable media, you can move projects from one location to another without losing changes or missing asset files.

You can also incorporate an EDIUS Broadcast edit station into a network configuration for asset exchange and/or integration with our K2™ media server/media client system, Profile® XP Media Platform server, Profile 6G server, M-Series™ intelligent digital disc recorder (iDDR), or Turbo™ intelligent video recorder (iVDR).
