USING P2 WITH GRASS VALLEY EDIUS BROADCAST Computer/OS specifications: • Pentium 4 3.0GHz or better • 512MB of RAM, recommended 1GB • Windows XP (Home or Pro) with Service Pack 2 • DirectX 9.0 or later • Graphics card with hardware-based DirectDraw overlay and 32-bit color display at 1024x768; 128MB of memory is required when editing HD. • One free USB 1.1 or 2.0 port for hardware dongle • A sound card • EDIUS Broadcast version 4.6 or later (must be "Broadcast"). • For AVC-Intra support, the optional AVC-Intra License Option for EDIUS Broadcast (available from Grass Valley, store part # 646245, $999.00) is required. Overview: This paper will provide current and prospective P2 customers a step-by-step understanding of how to use P2 with Grass Valley EDIUS Broadcast version 4.6 or later. EDIUS is a nonlinear editing package (NLE) that works incredibly well with P2 and integrates with P2 to provide exceptionally fast editing. Using EDIUS, a user can actually edit directly from the P2 cards, skipping the entire footage ingestion process. EDIUS supports native-codec editing directly from the original P2 card files in all their original formats, so no transcoding or file conversions are necessary. Because of this, an EDIUS user can edit footage literally within seconds of shooting it. This paper will lay out the processes for using P2 footage within the EDIUS Broadcast NLE software package. Note: "EDIUS Broadcast" is a specific version/package of Canopus/Grass Valley EDIUS software. P2 is not supported in EDIUS Pro or EDIUS Neo; only the "Broadcast" version has support for MXF files, P2 cards, DVCPRO HD, and AVC-Intra (when using the optional AVC-Intra License Option.) Also, EDIUS Broadcast includes a hardware dongle that is required for access to the MXF, P2, DVCPRO HD and AVC-Intra features. EDIUS Broadcast has always supported the DV, DVCPRO, DVCPRO50, and DVCPRO HD formats; new with version 4.6 is the ability to view and edit AVC-Intra formats (if you've installed the optional AVC-Intra License Option). EDIUS has the ability to edit AVC-Intra natively, directly from the P2 cards or directly from a hard disk. However, be aware that EDIUS is a native 8-bit editing application, and as such it cannot preserve the full 10-bit quality of original AVC-Intra footage. Regardless of what type of footage you're using, EDIUS preserves the footage in its native format, as it was originally recorded and in the same MXF file structure as it was recorded. EDIUS also preserves any camera metadata in your footage files throughout the edit process. Any metadata that you've uploaded into the camera will be attached to your clips and will be viewable at any stage of the edit process. This metadata will also be archived when you archive your camera-original footage, providing for easy sorting and searching through your footage archive. EDIUS also provides for adding metadata to any clips that you export from the timeline (providing that you choose to export your clips as P2-compatible MXF files).

Overview:
This paper will provide current and prospective P² customers a step-by-step understanding of how to use P² with Grass
Valley EDIUS Broadcast version 4.6 or later. EDIUS is a nonlinear editing package (NLE) that works incredibly well with P²
and integrates with P² to provide exceptionally fast editing.
Using EDIUS, a user can actually edit directly from the P² cards,
skipping the entire footage ingestion process.
EDIUS supports native-codec editing directly from the original P² card files
in all their original formats, so no transcoding or file conversions are necessary.
Because of this, an EDIUS user can edit
footage literally within seconds of shooting it.
This paper will lay out the processes for using P² footage within the EDIUS
Broadcast NLE software package.
Note:
“EDIUS Broadcast” is a specific version/package of Canopus/Grass Valley EDIUS software.
P² is not supported in
EDIUS Pro or EDIUS Neo; only the “Broadcast” version has support for MXF files, P² cards, DVCPRO HD, and AVC-Intra (when
using the optional AVC-Intra License Option.)
Also, EDIUS Broadcast includes a hardware dongle that is required for access
to the MXF, P², DVCPRO HD and AVC-Intra features.
EDIUS Broadcast has always supported the DV, DVCPRO, DVCPRO50, and DVCPRO HD formats; new with version 4.6 is the
ability to view and edit AVC-Intra formats (if you’ve installed the optional AVC-Intra License Option).
EDIUS has the ability
to edit AVC-Intra natively, directly from the P² cards or directly from a hard disk.
However, be aware that EDIUS is a native
8-bit editing application, and as such it cannot preserve the full ±0-bit quality of original AVC-Intra footage.
Regardless of what type of footage you’re using, EDIUS preserves the footage in its native format, as it was originally
recorded and in the same MXF file structure as it was recorded.
EDIUS also preserves any camera metadata in your footage files throughout the edit process.
Any metadata that you’ve
uploaded into the camera will be attached to your clips and will be viewable at any stage of the edit process.
This metadata
will also be archived when you archive your camera-original footage, providing for easy sorting and searching through your
footage archive.
EDIUS also provides for adding metadata to any clips that you export from the timeline (providing that you
choose to export your clips as P²-compatible MXF files).
