Grass Valley EDIUS 7.4 adds AJA KONA 3G support

EDIUS multiformat nonlinear editing software, one of the fastest editing solutions for professional and broadcast environments, offers advanced real-time editing capabilities and the ability to mix formats on the same timeline. Now, with the release of EDIUS 7.4, editing professionals have even more functionality at their fingertips, enabling them to edit anything, anywhere, with no rendering required. EDIUS Pro 7.4 adds support for AJA Video Systems' KONA 3G hardware, GenArts' Sapphire plugin and Red Giant's PluralEyes. Two new software options—for Avid DNxHD and Dolby Digital Pro/Plus—will also be released. For EDIUS Elite, Avid DNxHD and Dolby Digital functionality is included as standard, and in addition the GV STRATUS workflow has been improved. Version 7.4 is a free upgrade for all users of EDIUS 7.X.
