    EDIUS & Quick Sync Video Technology Application Note (GVB-1-0501A-EN-AN) File size: 903.4 KB, posted Mar 31 2015
    Intel Quick Sync Video (QSV) is a feature that has been included in Intel Core processors from the second generation onwards. QSV is a feature of all current Core processors (Core i7, Core i5 and Core i3), and is especially useful for video editing because it significantly accelerates MPEG-2 and H.264 encoding. QVS will improve encoding irrespective of the CPU power available too, which is good news for editors working to a budget.
    EDIUS has been optimized for QSV to give users super-fast H.264 export (for example to Blu-ray, AVCHD or XAVC S). This Application Note describes the workflow of EDIUS with Quick Sync Video.

    As most independent filmmakers will tell you, technology should not get in the way of creativity. It should cost-effectively help the process in a highly transparent way. Frank Ladner said he came to use EDIUS in a very accidental way. He was looking for a stable system after years of frustration using other systems. He got a free 30-day demo version of EDIUS, was easily able to put together a music video with it, and was quite impressed with its features and speed. He soon purchased a full version for his new project.

    Al Caudullo of Al Caudullo Productions writes of his experiences shooting in the rugged highlands of western Mongolia using an entirely 3D-based workflow, including working with the new EDIUS® 3D Preview vNLE software from Grass Valley®.

    "During our on-site production, we stretched EDIUS's capabilities to the limit and beyond. It never failed us. We used it in multiple environments, in everything from rugged Mongolian gers to dung-roofed housing. Our immediate concern was to be able to download volumes of 3D footage not only from our cameras and recorders, but to be able to check our dailies. This was to make sure our framing and 3D were within spec and keeping within the storyline. EDIUS was a marvel to work with, easily creating stereo pairs and stereo adjusting using only the Toshiba laptop and a 24-inch LG 3D CinemaDisplay monitor. It was a hit with our hosts and the eagle trainers who flocked around the screen in 3D glasses and adapted to watching 3D as naturally as they would call to their eagles."

    ディスプレイライト基準とシーンライト基準の使い分け 即時性を重視したHDR制作フローへの応用例 Whitepaper —by 竹本　晃, (GVB-1-0647A-JP-WP) File size: 3.0 MB, posted Jul 28 2017
    映像業界では、Sonyの「インスタントHDR」など、HDR映像を 報道やライブなどの即時性が求められる用途にも活用しよう、 という取り組みが進められています。そのために、HLG(Hybrid Log-Gamma)方式で撮影できるカメラを市場に投入するなどの 動きが始まっています。

    HLGで撮影すれば、必要なら撮ったその ままの映像をカラーグレーディングなしで最終出力とすることが できるので、即時性が高まります。

    では、S-LogやV-LogなどのLog方式のカメラでは、即時性は実 現できないのでしょうか？家庭用テレビではLog方式の信号を観 ることができないので、家庭用テレビで対応されているHLGまた はPQ(Perceptual Quantization)方式に変換する必要がありま すが、変換自体は簡単に行うことができます。ライブはひとまず置 くとして、カット編集とタイトル付加程度で短時間に送出する目的 には、EDIUSで編集と方式変換を行うことが考えられます。

    その際、LogとHLGの映像トーンに対する考え方の違いなど、注 意するべき点もいくつかあります。このことは、プライマリーカラー コレクションの変換基準の選択にも関係してきます。
    Choice of Display Light and Scene Light Based Conversion in EDIUS — An Example for Instantaneous HDR Production Workflow Whitepaper —by Akira Takemoto, (GVB-1-0647A-EN-WP) File size: 2.9 MB, posted Jul 28 2017
    In the video industry, efforts are made to use High Dynamic Range (HDR) video for news and live field production where immediate content distribution is necessary. One of such is Sony's "Instant HDR" concept, and cameras which can shoot in Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG) format are to be brought into the market.

    If video is shot in HLG format directly, it can be distributed without any color grading in cases where timing is of the essence.

    Then, isn't it possible for Log format cameras like S-Log or V-Log to be used in such fields? Although a Log signal needs to be converted to HLG or Perceptual Quantization (PQ) in order to be displayed on consumer TVs, the conversion itself is not difficult. Leaving live production to one side, we can play out HDR clips with a short time lag after quick editing such as cut & paste, title addition and format conversion by using EDIUS.

    But to do so, some points need to be taken into account, for example, the concept of picture tone is different between Log formats and HLG. The "Conversion Base" setting in the Primary Color Correction has implications based on the difference of the source material.
    Wahl zwischen Anzeigelicht und Szenenlicht basierter Umwandlung in EDIUS — Ein Beispiel für einen unkomplizierten HDR-Produktionsablauf weißespapier —by Akira Takemoto, (GVB-1-0647A-DE-WP) File size: 2.9 MB, posted Dec 22 2017
    Dynamic Range (HDR) Videos für Nachrichten und Feld-Produktion einzusetzen, bei denen die unmittelbare Verbreitung des Inhaltes erforderlich ist. Ein Beispiel dafür stellt das Konzept „Instant HDR" von Sony dar, und Kameras, welche im Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG)-Format aufnehmen können, werden auf den Markt gebracht. Wenn das Video direkt im HLG-Format aufgezeichnet wird, kann es, wenn es der Zeitfaktor erfordert, ohne jegliches Color Grading (CG) verbreitet werden.

    Ist es dann eigentlich nicht möglich, Kameras die im Log-Format aufzeichnen, wie etwa in S-Log oder V-Log, in solchen Bereichen zu verwenden? Ein Log-Signal muss nach HLG oder Perceptual Quantization (PQ) umgewandelt werden, damit es auf Consumer-TVs angezeigt werden kann — die Umwandlung selbst ist aber nicht schwer.

    Abgesehen von Liveproduktionen, können wir HDR-Clips mit nur geringer Zeitverzögerung ausspielen — nach einem schnellen Schnitt mit Cut & Paste, dem Hinzufügen von Titeln und der Formatumwandlung mit EDIUS.

    Um das zu erreichen, müssen aber einige Punkte beachtet werden: zum Beispiel unterscheidet sich die Farbgebung zwischen Log-Formaten und HLG. Wegen der Unterschiede im Quellmaterial hat die gewählte Einstellung der „Umwandlungsbasis" (Engl. Conversion Base) in der Primären Farbkorrektur Auswirkungen auf das jeweilige Ergebnis.
    The Benefits of HQX Whitepaper —by Akira Takemoto, Digital Editing Solutions, (GVB-1-0027A-EN-WP) File size: 1.1 MB, posted Sep 26 2014
    This paper discusses the Intermediate Codec solutions available from several vendors which are then compared in terms of picture quality, flexibility and suitability for use with graphics as well as video. In like-for-like tests, the Grass Valley, a Belden Brand, HQX Intermediate Codec offers comparable picture quality and is shown to have superior multigenerational performance. When combined with frame rate and resolution flexibility, plus built-in alpha channel support, this paper supports the conclusion that HQX is the best choice for creative editing.
