(NASDAQ: AVID) today announced the worldwide availability of the Avid(R) DS Nitris(TM) 8.0 system, which offers a native 64-bit software architecture and dual-link I/O hardware to support high-resolution and digital intermediate (DI) workflows. The new version also ships with dual-boot capability, allowing editors to use either the DS or Symphony(TM) toolset with the Avid Nitris hardware. Avid also announced the availability of the Avid DS Assist Station(TM), a software-only version of the Avid DS 8.0 toolset that customers can deploy on lower-cost workstations to tackle specialized tasks such as rotoscoping, compositing, and conform checks. "The 4:4:4 HD-RGB log format is valuable for our work because it provides better color accuracy than 4:2:2 HD linear when moving from film negative to digital post production and back," said Matt Schneider, director of technology at PostWorks New York. "We do a significant amount of 2K digital intermediates, but with 4:4:4 HD-RGB support and expanded memory in version 8.0 of Avid DS Nitris, we have an attractive alternative to 2K that is a good fit for many projects. We can now input HD-RGB directly to Avid DS Nitris from our film scanner. PostWorks has always been a big fan of Avid DS Nitris and this release takes the system to the next level. By the end of the year, we plan to add three additional DI pipelines built around the expanded capabilities of Avid DS Nitris." Matt Feury, senior product marketing manager at Avid added, "Our television and film finishing customers are an extremely dedicated user base who swear by the Avid DS Nitris toolset and its ability to help them work faster and more creatively on the hi-res, bandwidth-intensive projects they face every day. More importantly, they have been anticipating the arrival of advanced workflow features in the system - and Avid DS Nitris 8.0 delivers. By adding HD-RGB support, we've significantly advanced the system's capabilities to support the unique finishing needs of an online community that continues to blaze new paths in HD, 2K and even 4K post production workflows. With a powerful feature set for demanding HD and DI projects - we believe that Avid DS Nitris will have a huge impact across the primetime television and digital film finishing markets we serve."
