GV STRATUS, together with EDIUS Elite, now provides the
ideal solution for field-based editors who need to mix local content with
content remotely stored in their central facility. With an EDIUS Elite
workstation in the field, you can integrate with the GV
STRATUS system at your home site to combine both field and home assets on
the same timeline.
For example, if I am a reporter or producer who is
travelling in the field, shooting some important footage, and I want to be able
to edit it together with some stock shots or a feed stored on the K2 server
back at base, I can now do that with GV STRATUS, EDIUS Elite and a fairly
standard internet connection.
Once I finish shooting, I go back to my hotel, connect to
the GV STRATUS system back a base (say in the newsroom or my central production
house). I will then be able to search the K2 production storage using GV
STRATUS comprehensive search tools. I can then bring the clips I need to my
EDIUS Elite project bin and start editing it together with my locally-shot
content.
Whilst the local content is in high resolution (as I've just
recorded it with my field camera), the remote media I'm bringing from GV
STRATUS will be streamed in proxy. No need to copy the files to my local drive.
I simply stream and edit.
- Add assets you have procured in the field to the timeline. These are high-resolutions assets stored on the local EDIUS Elite workstation.
- Access assets from the home GV STRATUS system as proxy media.
- Mix the home site proxy assets and the local high-resolution assets on the same project/timeline.
- Send the completed project/sequence to the home GV STRATUS system. The project/sequence is rendered and becomes a GV STRATUS asset.
You can drag assets from the GV STRATUS Asset List
and drop them onto the EDIUS Elite timeline.
From the timeline that contains both high-resolution field
assets and proxy home assets, you can create a project or a story. You can do
this while you are in the field yet remotely connected to the GV
STRATUS system at your home site. EDIUS Elite allows mixed-format
editing as it converts between HD and SD resolutions, aspect ratios, and frame
rates in real time during rendering by the GV STRATUS Render
Engine at the home site.
Field Editing removes the distance barrier, giving field
personnel an editing experience identical to the one they would enjoy in the
newsroom with the same access to central newsroom content. By mixing newsroom
proxy with locally shot full resolution clips the field user can create
finished product with no missing scenes or “black holes”. There is no need to
transfer full resolution content to the field since a smart conform server at
base will automatically find the full resolution content for any shots covered
by proxy in the field.
