HD, SD, and 2K/4K finishing and compositing.
The Avid DS Nitris system offers multi-stream, 10-bit uncompressed HD, Avid DNxHD, and SD finishing and mastering as well as 2K/4K file-based editing with real-time 2K playback. It combines advanced creative and finishing software with high-performance Avid Nitris Digital Nonlinear Accelerator hardware for guaranteed real-time editing and effects. Create, edit, and master TV programs, films, and commercials-even theatrical releases-with the resolution-independent Avid DS Nitris system.
Key Features:

Real-time uncompressed HD and SD
Client-driven environments demand the highest quality at the fastest speeds. Avid Nitris hardware delivers 2 streams of uncompressed HD or 8 streams of uncompressed SD with real-time primary and secondary color correction, a real-time DVE or blur, and a real-time title and graphic on each stream. You can also mix and match SD and HD in the same timeline, in real time.

Real-time 2K playback and DI conform
Resolution-independent Avid DS Nitris systems support 4K and real-time 2K editing, with even greater productivity using a seamless HD proxy workflow. Streamline your DI workflow with seamless DPX file tracking in tandem with Media Composer Adrenaline HD editing systems.

Advanced Conform
Save valuable time in the online suite. The industry’s highest level of AAF and OMF conform ensures that work created on Avid Xpress and Media Composer editing systems is automatically re-created on Avid DS Nitris finishing systems.

Integrated creative environment
Keep the creativity flowing with sophisticated paint, compositing, and effects tools built into the editing and finishing interface. Take on more advanced projects, increase productivity, and keep client session moving with a seamless nonlinear workflow.

Motion tracking and stabilization
When a re-shoot is out of the question, producers count on the finishing system to correct shaky camera footage and to merge real and synthesized elements in the frame. Avid Nitris systems offer integrated image stabilization tools that make precise, multi-point tracking and rock-solid stabilization fast and easy.

Avid DNxHD encoding
Work with all popular HD sources in a real-time collaborative environment and minimize storage and infrastructure costs. Avid DNxHD encoding is engineered to maintain mastering-quality images over multiple generations while consuming a fraction of the bandwidth of uncompressed HD, making it ideal for facilities who want to add high-quality HD capability to their existing workflow.

Remote processing
Free up your most valuable tools and talent by rendering in the background using an Avid DS Nitris RP (Remote Processing) system. Editors spend more time creating and less time watching—and waiting.

Integrated hardware/software architecture
Revolutionary Avid Digital Nonlinear Architecture (Avid DNA) integrates software and hardware into a single turnkey system for guaranteed performance, built-in scalability, and long-term technology investment protection. And only Avid can deliver one-stop service, support, and training based on nearly two decades of nonlinear film and video editing innovation.
