EDIUS 5.5 Update

For registered EDIUS users, a free update to EDIUS 5.5 is now available. You can download the update from www.canopus.com.

Windows XP / Windows Vista / Windows 7

This update contains new features, numerous improvements, bug fixes, and is an official localized version

Note: This package can only upgrade an existing system. That is, you will need to have installed EDIUS v5.1x software. If you are installing on a fresh system, you will need to first install from your original CD-ROM/DVD-ROM, apply the v5.10 update and then apply this update. You will also need to have your security dongle inserted

Important Note: This update provides Windows 7 compatibility. Users will need to refer to this guide for directions on how to install EDIUS v5 on Windows 7 systems

Supported Hardware:

• IEEE 1394 FireWire controllers
• ADVC1394, ACEDVio
• EDIUS NX Series
• EDIUS SP Series
• EDIUS RX-E1 (SDI-based hardware)
• EDIUS Turnkey Systems
• HDSTORM Series
• HDSPARK Series
• HDTHUNDER

New features added in this version (from v5.12)
Support to run on Windows 7 (32/64bit). Note: You cannot upgrade your PC to Windows 7 if your editing machine is connected to an EDIUS Workgroup Server (EWGS) SAN system. If the machine is upgraded, your machine won't be able to connect to the SAN, because the EWGS only supports Windows XP-based machines as editing clients. Also, if your machine is a Grass Valley EDIUS turnkey, you cannot upgrade the current OS (Windows XP) to Windows 7, as this will void the warranty.

AVCHD native editing. EDIUS 5.50 has a new AVCHD engine. By this, you can place an AVCHD clip onto the timeline without the need for conversion to HQ for real-time editing. No optional hardware/software required to get this function. Note: Real-time editing performance will depend on CPU performance. A general performance guide is as follows:

• Intel Core i7: provides real-time editing with three 1920x1080 streams
• Intel Core2 Quad: provides real-time editing with one 1920x1080 stream
• Intel Core2 Duo: provides real-time editing with one 1440x1080 stream
• Added support for color space of CANON EOS Movie files
