The trial version also offers a sample of Edius Broadcast features, such as advanced metadata support, realtime native editing and I/O support for standard definition Sony XDCAM and SD and HD Panasonic DVCPRO P2, the format used in the AG-HVX200 camera.

"This 30-day trial will show video professionals that Edius is an ideal solution for high-volume production houses that require mixed SD and HD format support with the highest quality output, yet need to produce finished, edited content quickly," says Canopus founder/CEO Hiro Yamada.

The tool uses the company's variable bitrate Canopus HQ codec.
