The latest version of GV STRATUS includes archive, conform, and metadata management enhancements. This functionality, when combined with ENPS, Octopus, or iNEWS newsroom computer systems, permits users to access all of their STRATUS tools within the NRCS—streamlining the entire news production process. These new tools also facilitate the unlimited sharing of clips and content creation tools between collaborative workgroups or individual users.
With its advanced codec, multi-format file support, and unparalled speed, Grass Valley EDIUS® is quickly becoming one of the dominant solutions among editors working in the digital news and professional video production industries, and is fully integrated with GV STRATUS. A new systemized version of EDIUS—EDIUS Elite—is specifically designed to provide comprehensive interoperability with the K2 Summit™ platform and GV STRATUS, enabling fast-turn production in environments such as news and studios.
