Speed through integration: Avid Nitris DX effects architecture
The new Avid Nitris DX architecture tightly connects the host workstation and PCI Express I/O hardware into a single high-bandwidth, high-performance effects engine. The architecture is optimized for highly responsive real-time editing using the latest generation of HD codecs, including HDV, XDCAM-HD, DVCPRO HD, AVC-I, GFCAM and Avid DNxHD.
Editing done right
Stay focused on getting the best results possible. The Symphony Nitris DX system features the refined editing, finishing and color-correction tools, integrated media management, and seamless conform that the world's top online editors count on, day after day.
Seamless integration into any workflow
Avoid costly delays with Total Conform between Avid offline and online projects. Real-time Universal Mastering lets you create multiple SD and HD output formats from a single master. And comprehensive HD codec and file-based workflow support lets you focus on the work, not getting data into and out of the system.
Engineered for collaboration
Working as a team means that your online session runs on time and on budget. Avid Symphony Nitris DX supports Avid Unity shared-storage solutions for file-level sharing of media, projects, and ideas. And Avid Symphony Nitris DX integrates directly with the Avid Interplay production environment, for real-time collaboration at every level.
The power you need for the quality you want
Avid DNxHD encoding provides flawless HD quality at incredibly low bandwidths--or go all-out with 10-bit uncompressed HD. Heighten the mood with unique Symphony real-time primary and secondary color correction tools. And push the envelope with SpectraMatte keying, Fluid Motion time effects, Boris Continuum Complete, Avid FX and a wide range of third-party AVX2 plug-ins.
