Description
STORM 3G Elite: (3G-SDI I/O + HDMI I/O+ analog I/O + RS-422 control) is high quality desktop I/O hardware for EDIUS 9
(not supported in EDIUS X onwards or EDIUS 11)
STORM 3G Elite Most Comprehensive SD/HD I/O for EDIUS9
www.grassvalley.com STORM 3G Elite is a 2 RU rack-mountable multi-I/O device, providing complete connectivity and HD/SD hardware for real-time downconversion with full-quality, full-resolution 3G 10-bit HD-SDI, SD-SDI, DV and HD/SD analog output from the EDIUS timeline.
STORM 3G Elite from Grass Valley, consists of a breakout box with a PCIe 4X I/F card for desktop connection (4X mode: up to 1080p50/60) as well as an Express 34 card (1X mode: up to 1080i) for laptop connection.
It is designed to provide the most comprehensive SD/HD I/O support for the EDIUS NLE (purchased separately).
Video interfaces include dual 3G SDI, which can be used as either one 3G SDI signal or one pair of high-definition and standard-definition signal outputs.
Other interfaces include 1080p-capable HDMI I/O, composite (SD only) and component (up to 1080i) analog video I/O.
For audio, STORM 3G Elite has four pairs of AES/ EBU interfaces (as eight BNC connectors, each accommodating eight audio I/Os up to 48 kHz, 24-bit). Another four pairs of XLR balanced audio are also available, with a stereo pair each of balanced AND unbalanced audio monitor out.
A switchable line/mic (switchable phantom power) is also available for a dedicated voice-over input. STORM 3G Elite has two RS-422 interfaces, both of which can be used for controlling a VTR as master (although not at the same time).
The same RS-422 interface can also be used to control a VTR as slave, if you have the VTR Emulation Option (purchased separately). Linear timecode I/O, reference in/through/ out interfaces (which accept both bi-sync and trisync level) and a locking power connector round out the rest of the interfaces.
