Multi-camera features have also been enhanced, allowing users to similarly mix and match formats, making the transition to HD easy for those invested in standard definition cameras. The new release uses the DNxHDtr (thin raster) codec helping to reduce bandwidth.
Priced at $1,695, Avid Xpress Pro V.5.2 includes the PC release as well as the Tiger-optimized version, Avid DVD by Sonic, the Sorenson Squeeze encoder, the Smartsound Pro audio editor, and Noise Industries plug-ins.
