popular high and standard-definition (HD

Canopus Lossless, DV, DVCAM, HDV,

EDIUS software features the revolutionary Canopus HQ codec. Designed
with scalable technology, this innovative codec offers the highest
image quality and performance available in any HD editing platform. The
Canopus HQ codec not only provides superior luma and chroma sampling
of HD video, but features an adjustable bit rate for increased video
quality when capturing and encoding on high-performance systems.

digital workflows including those that use Grass Valley K2
media server/media client systems, as well as Panasonic P2
