Grass Valley HQ Codec/Grass Valley HQX Codec

With EDIUS, you can edit 4K and high-definition video in individual frame units. Optimal codec for editing high-resolution video is Grass Valley HQ Codec/Grass Valley HQX Codec. By using the Grass Valley HQ Codec/Grass Valley HQX Codec, the editing response time can be dramatically improved. When you use the Grass Valley HQ Codec, approximate file size will be 7 times larger than the HDV (it may vary depending on the video or settings), therefore, it is recommended to use a hard disk drive that is as fast and large as possible. Grass Valley HQX Codec supports 4K and 10-bit video quantization bitrate.
