Overview
Real-time Editing, Finishing, and Mastering you can count on
When you run an online session, time isn't just money, it's big money. In a client supervised session, it's the time to focus on quality, efficiency, and productivity. The Symphony Nitris DX system integrates the Symphony finishing toolset with Avid Nitris DX hardware for the real-time horsepower you need for high-throughput, high quality HD and SD finishing. All with a remarkable palette of creative tools and now running on the latest Mac and Windows platforms.
Speed through integration: Avid Nitris DX effects architecture
The new Avid Nitris DX architecture tightly connects the workstation and PCI Express I/O hardware into a single high-bandwidth, high-performance effects engine. The architecture is optimized for highly responsive real-time editing using the latest generation of HD codecs, including HDV, XDCAM-HD, AVC-I, and Avid DNxHD, in a multi-threaded effects pipeline engineered to take maximum advantage of the host CPU and GPU resources.
Editing done right
Stay focused on getting the best results possible. The Symphony Nitris DX system features the refined editing, finishing and color-correction tools, integrated media management, and seamless conform that the world's top online editors count on, day after day.
Seamless integration into any workflow
Avoid costly delays with Total Conform between Avid offline and online projects. Real-time Universal Mastering lets you create multiple SD and HD output formats from a single master. And comprehensive HD codec and file-based workflow support lets you focus on the work, not getting data into and out of the system.

And Avid Symphony Nitris DX integrates directly with the Avid Interplay production environment, for real-time collaboration at every level.
