If you’re using an older Avid Symphony Nitris (classic) system to tell your stories, you’re not reaching your full potential. For a limited time you can upgrade your Avid Symphony Nitris (classic) video hardware to Avid Nitris DX hardware for only $6995.

Avid Nitris DX integrates with the latest Symphony software and your host workstation to provide you with the highest performance editing system available.  Superior system response, improved effects and playback performance, and multiple streams of real-time playback are just some of the advantages of using Avid Nitris DX.  This modern hardware also lets you easily connect to your facility with full digital and analog connectivity, tri-level sync, and HDMI monitoring.
