Key Features
- Native end-to-end XDCAM HD-compatible workflow

Sony hardware codecs provide full-spec XDCAM implementation and ensure optimal workflow with XDCAM HD/EX formats and devices. - Fastest AVC-Intra workflow from ingest to playback
For speed and ease that perfectly complements your P2 HD cameras and decks, the AirSpeed AVC-Intra model works with Avid editors to deliver peerless end-to-end 50 and 100 Mb/s workflow. - No-compromise DNxHD end-to-end workflow
When the picture quality counts, nothing looks better or delivers the production efficiency of Avid DNxHD. The AirSpeed DNxHD model supports record and playout of both 10 bit DNxHD 185/220 and 8 bit DNxHD 120/145 for fast turnaround of eye-catching content. - Efficient HD operation
A 1.5RU form factor packs more channels in a small space, and the choice of MPEG-2 HD, AVC-Intra, or DNxHD – each with DVCPRO25/50 and IMX30/50 means you can select the capability you need while saving on cost, space, and power - Codec flexibility
Four MPEG-2 HD, or AVC-Intra 50 or two DNxHD channels let you handle any combination of record and play. The SD DVCPRO and IMX model is field upgradable to MPEG-2 HD, AVC-Intra, or DNXHD. - Fits your needs; fits your facility
Fast, easy ingest-edit-playback workflow starts with AirSpeed Multi Stream and an Avid editor. The Avid NewsVision turnkey solution adds collaborative power and capacity with ISIS 5000 shared storage and NewsCutter or Media Composer editing seats, and includes Support, Training, and on-site Professional Services for a very affordable price. - Interplay integration
Thorough integration with the industry-leading Interplay Production asset management system provides coordinated, managed workflow with centralized tracking of all assets for up to hundreds of users, and Interplay Archive and proxy workflows extend easy, quick media access to every contributor on your WAN. - Simultaneous proxy creation
Up to four high quality, bandwidth-efficient H.264/MPEG-4 proxies of XDCAM, AVC-Intra, or DNxHD media can be simultaneously created, allowing swift local or remote access to online or archived media in conjunction with Interplay Production. - Ancillary data support
Seamless SMPTE 436-compliant ancillary data is supported and preserved from ingest, through edit, to playback. - Nimble playback
On HD-SD models, automatic up, down, and cross conversion of clips that don’t match the preferred format eliminates transcoding steps, and output channel HD/SD format switching removes the need to dedicate a channel’s output to one format - Headframe creation

AirSpeed connects directly to ISIS and enables MXF-supporting editing systems to simultaneously edit or play any live feed seconds after recording begins. - Interplay Capture and iNEWS Command integration
