HD and SD video finishing with the real-time power of Nitris hardware.

Avid Symphony Nitris systems combine the legendary elegance of the Symphony finishing toolset, real-time primary and secondary color correction, and the real-time uncompressed HD and SD performance of Avid Nitris® DNA hardware. Together, they bring the power and productivity of Avid Total Conform and Universal Mastering to deadline-intensive HD and SD post-production projects.

The total work flow solutions that Avid is working towards allow me to do my job better, it allows me to get more work done and then ultimately it allows me to work more profitably.
