Grass Valley EDIUS Laptop Edit Station – Cost-Effective Platform for Any Workflow
Designed for mobile professionals working with DV, HDV, and tapeless formats in busy production workflows, our EDIUS laptop edit station is an affordable, high-performance SD and HD solution. It's a perfect complement to other EDIUS edit stations or it can stand alone as a powerful-yet-affordable craft-editing system.

Because of its cost-effective design, you can put an EDIUS laptop edit station in the hands of every mobile editor. The system includes internal storage and a DVD±RW dual-layer drive and features a widescreen Brightview display for a flexible mobile editing experience.

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

With an EDIUS laptop 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.
