keep up with your creativity, without slowing you down. With
simultaneous playback of four video streams (compressed or
uncompressed), six graphics streams and up to four channels of
3D DVE, VelocityQ offers true real-time power. Eight of these
video and graphics streams, in any combination, can be
transitioned, layered and composited in real-time, with
additional streams usable as wipe borders and DVE masks. This is
true, instant, full-quality real-time performance — not just
real-time previews, and not just in basic effect combinations.
Whether you need VelocityQ’s extensive real-time layering
performance for intricate projects such as commercials, promos,
intros, interstitials, or “near-to-air” applications, or you
simply want the ultimate in editing performance, VelocityQ
delivers. Whether your goal is increased return on investment,
more time to explore your creativity, or going home earlier,
VelocityQ will give you the performance and productivity gains
to help you get there faster.
VelocityQ harnesses this power into an intuitive, flexible and
customizable interface that makes even the most complex editing
tasks easy. The comprehensive feature set includes a broad range
of trimming and editing tools, with powerful features such as 3-
and 4-point editing, batch re-digitizing, mixable compressed and
uncompressed video, the unique EyeCon View timeline tool, and
real-time filters including color correction and variable speed
changes. Customizable interface options and a choice of control
paradigms make VelocityQ easily adaptable to your preferred
editing style.
VelocityQ is equally adept whether used on its own, or as part
of a complete Integrated Content Environment. VelocityQ is ideal
as a comprehensive, independent non-linear editing solution,
while easy interoperability with other post production tools and
Leitch’s NEXIO™ server family enables it to be an integral part
of a streamlined workflow for producing, storing, processing,
transmitting and managing content. With VelocityQ, you’ll get
the ideal combination of real-time power, quality, productivity,

Outstanding Hardware Technology
.gif) To
build an exceptional NLE with guaranteed real-time performance,
you have to start with a solid foundation. VelocityQ is powered
by the Quattrus™ hardware platform, developed with the hardware
expertise that won us an Emmy® Award in 2000 for Outstanding
Achievement in Television Technology.
Building on the features of the acclaimed Reality® hardware,
Quattrus features real-time playback of four video streams and
six graphics streams. The optional Q3DX2™ dual-DVE and Q3DX4™
quad-DVE daughtercards add two and four channels, respectively,
of simultaneous real-time 3D DVE effects. A live video stream (from
a camera or deck) can also be combined with these disk-based
streams, effectively forming a fifth real-time "motion video"
stream!
Amazingly compact, the Quattrus hardware combines all of this
real time power with mixable compressed and uncompressed video,
flexible professional video I/O, keying, real-time effects
processing, multi-channel audio mixing, video alpha channel
support, and an integrated Ultra160 SCSI-3 disk controller, all
on a single PCI card that requires just one IRQ.
VelocityQ provides comprehensive professional input and output
choices for easy integration into any post production
environment. Analog composite, Y/C, and component video are
standard on the Quattrus hardware, as are balanced and
un-balanced analog audio. SDI and digital audio I/O are
available as an option, while DV ingest and print-to-tape are
supported via your host computer's built-in IEEE-1394 port or
OHCI-compliant IEEE-1394 interface card.
VelocityQ also gives you a choice of video storage architectures.
The Quattrus hardware includes a dedicated integrated Ultra160
SCSI-3 disk controller supporting up to 15 drives, saving you
the expense of purchasing a separate mass storage controller.
For those wishing to use a different type of controller or
networked storage, VelocityQ also provides the flexibility of
using separate system storage controllers over the PCI bus,
enabling the use of storage area networks. Multiple VelocityQ
systems can be combined with a SAN to form a powerful
collaborative editing environment with a common centralized
storage pool. The shared storage serves as a central repository
for media assets, providing easy access and availability, and
enabling multiple editors to access the same raw footage
simultaneously.
Intuitive, Flexible and Customizable Interface
VelocityQ uses the same robust software interface as our
award-winning VelocityHD format-flexible HD/SD NLE. VelocityQ's
customizable interface includes a wide range of features that
increase productivity, enhance the editing interface and
workflow, and make it easy for users to quickly become
proficient with VelocityQ's extensive feature set..
VelocityQ’s timeline interface is both powerful and flexible,
with features including independent variable track scaling, mute
and solo of video and audio tracks, real-time support for video
files with alpha channel, multiple timeline support, and
multi-clip editing, enabling edits and effects to be applied to
multiple clips simultaneously. VelocityQ also uses our
Interactive Editing paradigm, which enables editing and effects
application without stopping timeline playback. Captured clips
and other media are easily organized into one or more tabbed
customizable galleries. Media can be played, searched and
managed right within the galleries.
VelocityQ lets you work the way you want to. With user-definable
hotkeys, selectable A/X/B and single-track timeline modes and
flexible window layouts, VelocityQ can easily adapt to the
editing style you prefer. User profiles allow multiple users
easy access to their preferred configuration settings. Editing
can be done directly on the timeline or through the Trim Window,
which provides easy 3- and 4-point edit modes including insert,
overlay, slip, slide and fit-to-fill. Standard and Overwrite
editing styles can be mode-toggled or performed “per edit” using
hotkey modifiers. The Trim Window offers a choice between
three-window (in/out/preview) and two-window (source/record)
trimming styles, letting you work the way you’re most
comfortable. Drag-and-drop-style mouse-based controls, fully
configurable keyboard controls and optional external hardware
controllers let you choose your favorite control method and
style of editing. Whether you’re new to non-linear editing, or
upgrading to VelocityQ from a previous system, you’ll find
getting up to speed with VelocityQ an easy transition with a
very short learning curve.
Multi-Camera Editing Made Easy
 With
VelocityQ’s integrated, full-quality multi-camera editing mode,
captured sequences from up to four cameras can be “sliced and
diced” interactively as they are viewed simultaneously in
real-time, directly from the timeline. Sequences can even be
switched while playing faster than real-time, enabling multi-cam
edits to be performed in a fraction of the time of the actual
sequence. Multi-camera edits can be refined before applying them
back to the timeline with cuts or transitions. For “live”
multi-camera applications, VelocityQ can be combined with
dedicated ingest stations on a storage area network (SAN), and
multi-camera editing performed in real-time as the live feeds
are being recorded. Editing a multi-camera shoot has never been
easier or faster! Click here for more details of this
revolutionary "Live Non-Linear Multi-Camera Editing" capability,
which combines the efficiency and immediacy of a live switcher
with the non-destructive editing flexibility of an NLE.
Interactive Editing
VelocityQ features our Interactive Editing paradigm. Edits (including
adding, deleting, moving and trimming clips) and real-time
effects can be applied while the timeline plays back, providing
immediate in-context feedback while editing and refining effects.
Instant Transitions and Effects
 VelocityQ
includes hundreds of predefined and customizable transitions and
effects. Transitions can be applied between clips on any video
track for editing flexibility, while the Advanced Keyframer
provides spline-based adjustments for each effect parameter,
delivering maximum control. Optional Q3DX2 and Q3DX4 modules add
multiple channels of real-time 3D DVE, masks and “garbage mattes,”
keying, blur and more. 3D effects such as rotation, perspective
and warp can be applied to graphics as well as video. The Q3DX2
adds two channels of DVE, while the quad-channel Q3DX4 enables
four simultaneous real-time 3D effects. All of these effects,
plus variable speed changes, reverse, color correction, pixel
effects, transparency and more can be combined simultaneously in
real-time with transitions and rolling and crawling titles,
providing maximum creative flexibility. Effects can be
clip-based or applied to entire tracks. VelocityQ’s real-time
power provides full-quality interactive feedback on the video
monitor while setting up transitions and effects, allowing
exceptional precision and easy experimentation. If you ever do
need to render, Render Bank™ technology remembers previously
rendered segments, eliminating re-rendering.
Comprehensive Color Control
 Color
correction is an essential part of any editor’s toolkit. Whether
you need to match coloration between clips, correct color
balance issues caused by mixed or inconsistent lighting, or
change the visual tone to give your video a completely different
look and feel, VelocityQ has the tools for the task. In addition
to real-time proc amp controls, VelocityQ features keyframeable
CPU-based color correction including three-way color wheels,
curves, color matching, secondary color correction and automatic
white and black re-balance.
Easy Visual Reference with EyeCon View™
 In
addition to flexible picon viewing options on timeline clips,
VelocityQ features the unique EyeCon View timeline reference.
EyeCon View continuously displays the picons and clip timecode
of all visible layers based on the current playhead position,
providing constant visual reference for all layers on the
timeline while scrubbing and aligning clips, and making it easy
to precisely align specific frames across layers. Audio EyeCons
display a close-up view of the audio waveform at the playhead’s
current frame, making it easy to precisely align clips relative
to audio events.
Flexible Format Support
VelocityQ supports both uncompressed and variable-rate
compressed video, letting you choose your preferred balance
between video quality and storage requirements, with the
flexibility to mix compressed and uncompressed footage in the
same timeline. In addition to its own uncompressed and
compressed formats, VelocityQ also offers direct timeline
support for DV media from many tapeless recording devices and
Panasonic’s P2 media-less, memory-based products.
Flexible Capturing With Precision Quality Control
.gif) Capturing
footage is accurate and flexible, with methods ranging from
quick capture to frame-accurate batch capture. Proc amp controls,
color correction, and an integrated waveform monitor and
vectorscope display help keep your video levels within spec and
allow you to easily fine-tune both incoming and captured video.
Batch recapture allows footage to be captured at offline
compression rates and later replaced with higher quality footage
for output.
Advanced Audio
Audio is an essential element of most productions, and VelocityQ
includes a wide array of flexible features for advanced audio
support. Audio control nodes can be created on-the-fly during
playback using on-screen sliders or the optional FAD-5000
hardware audio controller, while digital and analog audio scrub
make working with audio easy and precise. Voice-overs can be
added directly in the timeline while playing back existing audio
and video for reference. For additional effects and filters,
clip-based DirectShow filters are supported, and real-time .VST
audio plug-ins can be applied to entire tracks (with automation)
or busses. VelocityQ also features quick editing tools for
easily creating both automatic and customized fades and
cross-fades, including audio SuperNodes for applying
user-defined audio curves non-destructively.
Flexible Output Formats & Web Streaming
VelocityQ lets you easily create output directly from the
timeline for any popular distribution format — video tape,
CD-ROM, DVD or the web. Web formats including RealNetworks®
RealVideo® , Microsoft® Windows Media™ 9 and QuickTime™, as well
as Ligos™ GoMotion™-powered MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 formats for CD-ROM
and DVD authoring, can be output directly from the timeline in
real time. In addition to creating on-demand web files,
VelocityQ can also stream to the web live from the timeline.
Live video from a camera or deck can be combined in real time
with titles, transitions, and previously captured clips, and
streamed live for exceptional webcasting flexibility.
Easy Collaborative File Interchange
VelocityQ makes interchange between networked editors in a
collaborative environment easy, with automatic detection and
collection of new media files. The “Detect ‘n Collect” feature
automatically detects new media files in user-specified
directories — such as network shares or a common media pool on a
SAN — and collects them into the current project’s Galleries.
Extensive Interoperability
.gif) Interoperability
features such as EDL, OMF and AAF import and export make it easy
to interchange projects and media files with other editing
systems and post production tools for collaborative work. Plus,
our uniquely flexible Virtual Tape File System™ (VTFS™) provides
seamless and transparent integration and file interchange with
graphics, animation, and compositing systems. Each frame of
video on the dedicated media drive is simultaneously available
in over a dozen popular image file formats, including TGA, BMP
and TIF. Animation sequences can be rendered directly to the
VTFS and then easily accessed for playback and editing.
Advanced Compositing With DFX+™
.gif) Included
with VelocityQ is eyeon Software’s DFX+ for advanced compositing
and image processing. DFX+ features the same speed, workflow,
and productivity as the acclaimed Digital Fusion™, while taking
a modular approach to advanced tools, allowing you to choose
just the toolset you need. With a powerful flow-based process,
comprehensive tools and many high-end plug-ins available,
complex compositions and designs can be achieved with ease.
Direct timeline integration with the Velocity software makes it
easy for users to harness the power of DFX+. DFX+ effects such
as glows, defocusing and warps can be applied to clips from the
Velocity timeline, and entire timeline regions can be sent to
DFX+ for processing. DFX+ features broad format support of over
20 professional image and 3D file formats, plus features
including the Text+ advanced character generator, format and
aspect ratio conversion, powerful spline controls to animate any
tool, and polygonal effects masks that can be animated to apply
effects to user-definable regions. DFX+ can be expanded via
optional modules to include advanced features such as tracking,
advanced keying, film import, 3D depth tools, network rendering,
vector paint, particles and more.
Bundled Tools Enhance System Capabilities
VelocityQ is fully compatible with a wide range of third-party
software, and applications for DVD authoring, audio processing
and titling are bundled. Plus, VelocityQ includes Q-Tools™ , a
suite of standalone utilities that let you customize your
workflow for specific applications by allowing individual
functions such as capture, playback, and logging to be used
independently. Ulead DVD Workshop™ 2 SE lets you author
DVD-compliant MPEG-2 files, created directly from the VelocityQ
timeline, into a DVD with menus, buttons, chapters, and advanced
functionality. Inscriber TitleMotion™ provides a sophisticated
interface for titling and character generation, while Sony Media
