Leitch Technology Corporation announced the VelocityQ 2x4, a new lower-cost model of the VelocityQ multi-stream non-linear editing system.
Like the existing model of VelocityQ (now also known as the VelocityQ 4x4), the VelocityQ 2x4 combines the powerful, flexible and intuitive Velocity(r) software interface with the Quattrus multi-stream real-time hardware, forming a tightly integrated, advanced multi-layer NLE solution that delivers an exceptional combination of real-time power, quality and affordability. Both models feature guaranteed real-time, full-quality playback of four streams of video - in any combination of compressed or uncompressed - and up to six graphics streams.
The VelocityQ 4x4 features the Q3DX4 quad-channel 3D DVE module, enabling four channels of simultaneous real-time 3D effects, including perspectives, warps and rotations
. The new VelocityQ 2x4 model features
Q3DX2 dual-channel 3D DVE, providing two simultaneous channels of these effects.
While the VelocityQ 4x4 includes as standard a rackmountable audio/video breakout box, I/O connections to the VelocityQ 2x4 are provided through the included breakout cable, with the breakout box available as an option.
Beyond the breakout box and the effects capabilities of the respective DVE modules, the new VelocityQ 2x4 and the existing VelocityQ (4x4) are functionally and technically identical.
VelocityQ 2x4 is available as a boardset-and-software bundle for installation into a Windows 2000 or Windows XP workstation, while VelocityQ 4x4 is available as a boardset-and-software bundle or as a fully integrated, "ready to run" turnkey solution. Leitch Quattrus cards and Q3DX4 and Q3DX2 DVE modules are also available to third-party OEM developers for incorporation into their own products and applications.
