dpsVelocityQ adds new features including multi-camera editing of up to four
cameras, four channels of simultaneous real-time 3D DVE, and enhanced
support for network editing, with video media accessible from system or
network storage as well as the included dedicated on-board Ultra160 storage
controller.
dpsVelocityQ provides the ultimate in real-time
power, quality, productivity, flexibility, reliability, and ease of use.
dpsVelocityQ – professional post production the way you need it.
Outstanding Hardware Technology
Built on the hardware expertise that won us an
Emmy® Award in 2000 for Outstanding Achievement in Television Technology,
dpsVelocityQ is powered by the dpsQuattrus hardware platform. Building on
the features of the acclaimed dpsReality hardware, dpsQuattrus features
real-time playback of four video streams, up to six graphics streams, and
four channels of simultaneous real-time 3D DVE effects with the Q3DX4™
quad-DVE daughtercard. Amazingly compact, the dpsQuattrus hardware combines
all of this real time power with mixable compressed and uncompressed video,
flexible professional video I/O (including composite, Y/C, component, and
optional DV and SDI), video mixing and keying, 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.
 Intuitive,
Flexible and Customizable Interface
Building on our award-winning dpsVelocity
software, dpsVelocityQ includes a wide range of features that increase
productivity and enhance the editing interface and workflow. The editing
timeline features selectable A/X/B and single-track timeline modes,
real-time support for video files with alpha channel, independent variable
track scaling, mute and solo of video and audio tracks, multiple timeline
support and more. Captured clips and other media are easily organized into
one or more tabbed customizable galleries. Media can be played, sorted,
searched and managed right within the galleries, while mouse controls,
user-definable hotkeys, and an optional jog/shuttle controller let you pick
your favorite style of editing.
Effects & Transitions – Up to Four
Simultaneous 3D Effects in Real Time!
Hundreds of predefined and customizable 2D and 3D transitions and effects
are included and fully keyframeable for precision control. Real time effects
including variable speed changes, reverse, color correction, “garbage
mattes” and keying can be combined simultaneously with transitions and
rolling and crawling titles (which can even be used as video masks!),
providing maximum creative flexibility. dpsVelocityQ’s Q3DX4 quad-channel
DVE module even enables four simultaneous real time 3D effects! 3D effects
such as rotation, perspective and warp can be applied to graphics as well as
video, and played back simultaneously with wipes and other effects in real
time. If you ever do need to render, DPS Render Bank technology remembers
previously rendered segments, eliminating re-rendering.
 Easy
Visual Reference with EyeCon View™
In addition to flexible picon viewing options on
timeline clips, dpsVelocityQ features EyeCon View. 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.
Multi-Camera Editing Made Easy
 Editing
sequences using multiple camera angles is easy and intuitive. Captured
sequences from four camera angles can be interactively switched between, as
they are viewed simultaneously in real-time. Sequences can even be switched
while playing at 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. Editing a multi-camera shoot has never been easier or faster!
 Flexible
Video Storage
dpsVelocityQ gives you a choice of
video storage architectures. dpsVelocityQ includes a dedicated integrated
Ultra160 SCSI-3 disk controller supporting up to 15 drives, thus saving you
the expense of purchasing a separate mass storage controller. For those
wishing to use a different type of controller or networked storage,
dpsVelocityQ also provides the flexibility of using separate system storage
controllers over the PCI bus, enabling the use of storage area networks and
making dpsVelocityQ ideal for collaborative editing environments.
Flexible Capturing with Precision Quality
Control
 Capturing
footage is accurate and flexible, with methods ranging from quick capture to
frame-accurate batch capture. Uncompressed and variable compression playback
and recording are supported for perfect quality every time, with the
flexibility to mix compressed and uncompressed footage in the same timeline.
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.
 Easy
3 and 4 Point Editing and Trimming
Clips can be trimmed directly on the
timeline or with the advanced Trim Window, which provides easy 3 and 4-point
edit modes including insert, overlay, slip, slide, and fit-to-fill.
Flexible Output Formats & Web Streaming
 dpsVelocityQ
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™ and
QuickTime™ can be output from the timeline in real time, plus Ligos™
GoMotion™-powered MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 formats for CD-ROM and DVD authoring. In
addition to creating on-demand web files, dpsVelocityQ 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.
 Advanced
Audio
Audio is an essential part of any
production. dpsVelocityQ provides real time 8-channel audio mixing and
monitoring, with real time parametric EQ for audio sweetening. Tracks can be
muted or soloed, and if you need more audio channels, you can automatically
mix down additional audio tracks for real time preview. Audio control nodes
can be created on-the-fly by using the sliders during playback, and
voiceover and analog-style scrub make working with audio easy. For
additional effects and filters, DirectShow-compatible audio plug-ins can be
applied to clips directly in the timeline.
Easy Interoperability
 Interoperability
features such as EDL import and export, and optional OMF and AAF support
make it easy to interchange projects and media files with other editing
systems and post production tools for collaborative work. Plus, our uniquely
flexible DPS Virtual Tape File System™ (VTFS™) provides seamless and
transparent integration and file interchange with graphics, animation, and
compositing systems. Each frame of video is simultaneously available in ten
popular image file formats, including TGA, BMP, and TIF. Animation sequences
can be rendered directly to the VTFS, then easily accessed for playback and
editing.
DFX+ Advanced Compositing and Image
Processing
Included with dpsVelocityQ is Digital Fusion DFX+™ 4.0, the latest version
of the advanced, modular, resolution independent compositing and effects
software from eyeon. DFX+ is designed to allow you to easily add a
professional finish to your productions and video sequences. DFX+ will allow
you to move quickly from concept to final production with the same speed,
precision, and productivity as the award-winning Digital Fusion™.
DFX+ expertly combines an incredible toolset with benchmark speed, bringing
expensive high-end capabilities to the cost effective desktop. 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 dpsVelocityQ makes it easy for users to
harness the power of DFX+ directly from the editing timeline. DFX+ effects
such as glows, defocusing and warps can be applied to clips from the
dpsVelocity 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, with a groundbreaking multi-threaded
design that gets the maximum performance out of multi-processor systems.
Other features include 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
highly advanced features such as tracking, advanced keying, film import, 3D
depth tools, network rendering and more.
