Description: EDIUS is unique in that it allows real-time video editor to  work with any combination of supported formats in their original  quality and resolution. With EDIUS users can mix and match is being  performed on the same format, codec, resolution, scale, working with  with the native quality of the material in real time. Henceforth, the  new version of EDIUS 5.5, this is true for the AVCHD format. 
 
AVCHD (Advanced Video Codec High Definition) is a codec for recording  and playback high-definition video. This format allows you to record HD  video on DVD discs, memory cards, SD / SDHC and hard drives. AVCHD  format is also compatible with Blu-ray discs and can be used for  authoring and distribution of HD video. 
 
Unlike EDIUS no other product on the market applications for nonlinear  video editing can not offer native support for multi-layer editing AVCHD  material in real-time and full resolution. With the new engine, AVCHD  from Grass Valley EDIUS 5.5 is able to work simultaneously with more  than three layers of AVCHD video in real time, full resolution and full  frame rate.

Extras. Information: Despite the fact that EDIUS previously supported  the installation of AVCHD material, the workflow was still impractical.  Users before the assembly had to convert AVCHD clips into a format  Canopus HQ, which required manual intervention and led to delays in the  process of working on the project. With the new version of EDIUS 5.5  professionals can import native AVCHD clips in bin EDIUS, move them to  the test being performed and thus any performance limitations. In one  project, users can work simultaneously with clips of any format  supported by EDIUS, without any additional transcoding and clamping.  Thus, in order to begin immediate installation, no additional steps are  required.
