More on Sony Vegas® 6 Software:
At this years NAB exhibition (Las Vegas, USA) Sony Media Software announced its new version and upgrades of the award-winning Vegas® non-linear video and audio editing system and DVD Architect™ authoring program. These two applications form the core of the new Vegas+DVD™ Production Suite, specifically upgraded for HDV, which also includes a Dolby Digital® AC-3 multi-channel encoder for 5.1 surround output. Both products retain the same progressive editing interfaces as their predecessors, but offer many technological advances that cater to production professionals involved with independent films, documentaries, corporate and professional event videography, as well as feature and broadcast productions.
"Vegas 6 software is a comprehensive editing platform that works in harmony with higher end systems in complex post production networks such as ours," said Jim Logan, owner of Logan Productions who has worked on media projects for companies such American Family Insurance, John Deere, Jockey International and Kerasote Theatres. "The editing capabilities of Vegas 6 can stand on their own against any high-end system, or work equally as an adjunct to other production workflows. Now with the support of the Blackmagic Design DeckLink(tm) card, it's easy to bring in SD or HD over SDI. This has truly improved the pro-level video handling characteristics and has moved Vegas 6 solidly into the realm of broadcast video tools. Vegas 6 is simply the best video/audio editing software investment you can make. It is a high-end professional application sold at an affordable price."
Already an industry standard, Vegas 6 software provides comprehensive format support for DV, SD, and HDV. This application provides a future-proof migration path for production professionals who have invested in the standard definition workflows of today; ensures a seamless transition to tomorrow's HD based formats; and offers support for a vast number of delivery and output options ranging from DVD to WMV HD.
"The Vegas+DVD Production Suite supports editing and high quality video processing for DV, HDV, and SD/HD-SDI, unparalleled audio capabilities, along with professional caliber DVD authoring and mastering," said Steve Banfield, senior vice president of media applications and platforms for Sony Pictures Digital. "Coupled with the wide variety of output and encoding options that Vegas and DVD Architect software provide, from CD to DVD to high-definition Windows Media, there's no better solution for production and delivery than what our suite provides today. It's truly ready when you are."
Sony Media Software products are proudly distributed in Australia and New Zealand by master distributor New Magic Australia. Sony Vegas 6, Vegas+DVD and DeckLink bundles are now shipping and available through all authorised New Magic resellers.
More on Blackmagic Design Card Options for Sony Vegas:
Decklink
The original DeckLink has become world famous. Great for simple 10 bit SDI only applications, it features SDI in and out, unbalanced AES output and RS-422 remote control with all connections on the rear of the card. The original DeckLink model does not have genlock as it provides a stable SDI output for locking decks to the card, eliminating the need for a black burst generator.
DeckLink Pro
Ideal for working with SDI equipment, such as Digital Betacam™ decks, while using analog CRT monitors without an SDI input. DeckLink Pro has SDI input and outputs, and also includes analog component YUV/NTSC/PAL switchable video-out, great for video monitoring. DeckLink Pro also includes genlock input when connecting to large broadcast systems as well as RS-422 remote control. DeckLink Pro includes 4 x unbalanced AES outputs, so you can output 8 channels of digital audio de-embedded from the SDI video output. All connections are on a long 2 meter, 7 foot break out cable so you don't need to purchase any extra cables when building your editing system.
Decklink HD PRO (Dual Link)
If you're looking for the highest quality video available, then DeckLink HD Pro 4:4:4 is ideal. DeckLink HD Pro has two HD-SDI inputs and outputs, so you can use it for normal 4:2:2 SDI. Then switch easily to uncompressed dual link 10 bit 4:4:4 RGB editing on both Mac OS X™ and Windows XP™. That's incredible quality and great for feature film work. DeckLink HD Pro 4:4:4 can also use the two SDI outputs to allow simultaneous HD and SD playback, so you can see both standards while you edit. DeckLink HD Pro 4:4:4 is fully dual rate and includes HD/SD-SDI in and out, combined with incredible 14 bit analog component YUV/NTSC/PAL switchable video out. It also features unbalanced AES in and out, word-clock out, reference in as well as RS-422 remote control.
