Grass Valley STORM 3G Elite
STORM 3G Elite consists of a breakout box with a PCIe 4X I/F card for desktop connection (4X mode: up to 1080p50/60) as well as an Express 34 card (1X mode: up to 1080i) for laptop connection. It is designed to provide the most comprehensive SD/HD I/O support for the EDIUS NLE (purchased separately). Video interfaces include dual 3G SDI, which can be used as either one 3G SDI signal or one pair of high-definition and standard-definition signal outputs. Other interfaces include 1080p-capable HDMI I/O, composite (SD only) and component (up to 1080i) analog video I/O.
Key Features:
- 3G-SDI input and output with embedded 16ch audio and timecode
- HDMI input and output for full-resolution, real-time monitoring with EDIUS NLE software (purchased separately)
- Embedded 3G-SDI and HDMI audio input and output for high-quality audio monitoring
- Video and audio output stays perfectly in sync, with editing windows for accurate editing and trimming
- Reference input and output (Sync Generator) supports blackburst or tri-level sync
- RS-422 master and slave machine-control support
- Hardware downcoversion
- Compatible with Windows 7/8/8.1/10 (64-bit)
