Grass Valley HQ Codec/Grass Valley HQX
Codec
EDIUS can capture a high-definition video converting the data to a format that is suitable for frame unit editing. A
technology that is used for the conversion is the Grass Valley HQ Codec/Grass Valley HQX Codec. By using the Grass
Valley HQ Codec/Grass Valley HQX Codec, the editing response time can be dramatically improved. When you use the
Grass Valley HQ Codec, approximate file size will be 7 times larger than the HDV (it may vary depending on the video
or settings), therefore, it is recommended to use a hard disk drive that is as fast and large as possible.
Grass Valley HQX Codec supports 10-bit video quantization bitrate.
