Integrated hardware/software architecture
The Avid DS system architecture tightly connects the host workstation CPU and GPU with the dual-link I/O hardware into a single high-bandwidth, high-performance engine. The DS system is optimized for highly responsive real-time editing using full resolution 2K, HD and SD footage. The latest generation of HD codecs, including XDCAM, P2, DVCPRO HD, AVC-I, and Avid DNxHD are also supported. And only Avid can deliver one-stop service, support, and training based on nearly two decades of nonlinear film and video editing innovation.
