EDIUS Workgroup 9 contains all features of EDIUS Pro 9 and supports the same plug-ins and hardware as EDIUS Pro 9. On top of that EDIUS Workgroup 9 offers additional features and benefits that we will describe in the following.

EDIUS Workgroup 9 addresses broadcasters as well as individual users in need of an enhanced feature set. The workgroup-version allows connecting to the Grass Valley STRATUS Video Produktion & Content Management System and working directly with a Grass Valley K2 SAN-system. Furthermore network solutions like a variety of MAM-systems (media asset management) are supported.

Especially in a broadcast environment with EDIUS as a strong player all across the globe, networking features are essential. Combined with GV STRATUS several cutters can work on the same story sharing the same source material, media and metadata for an ultrafast turnaround.

This combination supports and serves numerous destinations at the same time such as playout-servers, content management systems, social media channels and digital libraries.

The combination of EDIUS Workgroup 9 and GV STRATUS also offers an efficient content management system including workflow automation, the administration of user rights and storage optimization.

Even working remotely from a home office or directly from the set is possible with this system only requiring an internet-connection. You can search, stream and view stories as well as edit projects by proxy mode in low resolution or transfer the high-res-material onto your local storage before editing. When you have finished editing, the project file will be auto-conformed by the GV STRATUS Render Engine workstation computer for final processing and output.

If systems are not connected to GV STRATUS, proxy mode editing can also be made available by using the optional EDIUS XRE conform engine.

Different to EDIUS Pro 9 the EDIUS Workgroup 9 version allows an offline-activation. Therefore the editing system does not need to be connected to the internet. Generating an EDIUS ID is possible if you wish to do so but not mandatory.

Furthermore, only with EDIUS 9 Workgroup it is possible to select the preview quality. For example, UHD / 4K material or clips with many effects and filters can be viewed in real time. Moreover, only with the Workgroup version it is possible to view material in UHD ("4K 16:9") at 50p/60p on the preview monitor by using editing cards from e.g. Blackmagic Design or AJA.

There are several additional differences between EDIUS Workgroup 9 and EDIUS Pro 9. We have listed those in the following table and additionally commented on some features for a better understanding.

During the product-cycle of EDIUS 10.xx enhancements and new features will be continuously made available to users free of charge.

Built from scratch as a native 64-bit-solution for Windows 10 EDIUS X utilizes all of the advantages of today’s advanced 64-bit-operating systems. This includes the usage of up to 512 GB of system RAM for an optimal throughput of data, which is essential when using multiple layers, editing 4K and working with multicam-projects.

EDIUS X is optimized for Intel Quick Sync like no other NLE. Not only does Quick Sync speed up the encoding of H.264/H.265 exporting files up to 10 times faster. Playing back H.264/H.265-footage on the timeline has been greatly improved as well as enabling to smoothly edit 4K-material even with a less then optimized office PC.

Quick Sync is a hardware implemented GPU-feature offered by many of Intel’s current Core i7, Core i5 and even Core i3 processors. Version i9-10900K is highly recommended for desktop-PCs as well as the i9-10980HK or i7-10xxxH for notebooks.
