Canopus introduces DVStorm
Canopus Corporation, makers of award-winning non-linear video
editing solutions, announced DVStorm, a powerful real-time
DV editing system that combines an extensive high performance
feature set with stability and reliability. DVStorm delivers
render-free, real-time digital video editing, DV and analog
(S-Video and Composite video) input and output, MPEG output
for DVD and Web streaming, plus a complete suite of digital
video production tools, making DVStorm a powerful and cost-effective
NLE solution for videographers.
Advanced creativity features
Videographers can bring their productions to life and
save valuable production time by taking advantage of DVStorm’s
impressive assortment of real-time editing tools that feature
over 24 real-time filters, including color correction, mosaic,
emboss, slow motion, picture-in-picture, chroma key, luma
key and chrominance, and 15 transitions, including wipes,
dissolves, slides, page curls and stretch. DVStorm also provides
real-time audio filters applied to both the video and external
audio tracks.
Real-time DV and analog input/output
DVStorm offers all the input/output connections videographers
need to get the flexibility required from an editing system,
allowing them to deliver video on tape, CD, DVD or over the
Internet. DVStorm uses an advanced hardware CODEC to deliver
real-time capture through 1394/i.LINK, S-video or Composite
connectors and real-time output to DV or analog tape.
Comprehensive suite of digital video production tools
To provide users with a comprehensive nonlinear editing solution,
DVStorm includes Adobe Premiere 5.1 (full version) and Canopus
StormEdit software. StormEdit is a powerful video editing
software application that includes an assortment of real-time
titles and transitions. Sonic Foundry’s ACID Style audio
software for a quick and easy way to produce custom music,
and a trial version of SpruceUp DVD authoring software are
also included. To round out this offering, DVStorm includes
SoftMPG Encoder from Canopus to deliver the high-quality video
and audio output required by today’s video professionals.
Using advanced algorithms, Canopus’s encoder engine creates
MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 streams in near real-time directly from StormEdit
or Adobe Premiere 5.1.
In addition, Canopus is including its Web Video Wizard for
quick and easy preparation of edited productions for Web streaming.
“Our aim is to help videographers run successful businesses,”
said Hiro Yamada, president of Canopus Corporation. “Two
key elements to success are reducing the time spent in post-production
and, at the end of the day, presenting a high quality finished
product to the client. DVStorm helps the videographer accomplish
this by providing a high-end real-time feature set in a comprehensive,
cost-effective solution.”
DVStorm supports single- and dual-processor systems running
Windows 98, 2000, NT 4.0 or ME and will be available in December
2000 from Canopus and authorized distributors, VARs and mail-order
suppliers for a suggested retail price of $1,799. DVStorm
includes StormBay, a breakout box that moves the DV and analog
connections to the front of the PC for easy plug-and-play
operation. An optional real-time MPEG encoding module is available
for $599.
