AVoption XL with AVoption V10 Assurance
US List Price: $11,995
Designed for post production professionals who require integrated, broadcast-quality picture, and compatibility with the most popular video editing systems in the world, AVoption XL supports instant capture, import, and playback of Avid JFIF video media directly within Pro Tools HD.
Based on Avid's Meridien hardware, AVoption XL adds a breakout box for component, composite, and S-video I/O (SDI optional). It captures and plays back all JFIF video from 15:1 all the way up to 1:1 (uncompressed), for the finest quality resolution available on any audio workstation.

AVoption XL is compatible with all Avid systems based on the Meridien video subsystem, including Avid Symphony, Media Composer XL, and Xpress NT.

(With AVoption V10 Assurance, all AVoption XL purchases include an exchange to AVoption V10 once it becomes available for your platform.





The AVoption-V10 hardware interface provides interchange with the full line of Avid DNA video editing products by enabling Pro Tools users to import and play back virtually any Avid video file, including JFIF, AVR, DV25, DV50, uncompressed 601, multi-cam, single-field, interlaced, or 24P/25P progressive scan. AVoption V10 includes custom Avid Media Station V10 software for automated capture and conform of audio and video, plus rendering, export and layback of OMF and AAF sequences. Video captured with Digidesign’s AVoption and AVoption XL is also supported.
Post Picture Options
With Pro Tools TDM 6.1 and newer software for Pro Tools HD, post professionals have a production environment for conforming, recording, editing, processing, mixing, mastering, and multi-format delivery, all integrated with other Avid and Pro Tools workstations. Combined with AVoption V10 (Windows XP) or AVoption XL (Mac OS X), Pro Tools brings high level of Avid interoperability to Pro Tools HD. For robust interchange with Avid workstations, Pro Tools with DigiTranslator 2.0 supports the AAF session interchange standard, as well as OMFI. And Avid Unity Shared Storage is also supported for audio and video record and playback with AVoption V10 or AVoption XL on Windows XP (AVoption V10 support for Mac OS X, including Avid Unity Shared Storage, is scheduled for a future release). Shared storage streamlines your workflow so you can focus on creativity instead of file management.





AVoption V10

Utilizing only a standard FireWire connection, the AVoption V10 hardware provides Pro Tools playback of all Avid-created video media, including all JFIF (up to 1:1) and AVR resolutions, DV25 and DV50, multi-cam, interlaced, and 24P/25P progressive scan. AVoption V10 even allows you to mix different video resolutions in the timeline. Component, Composite, S-Video, and Serial Digital Interface (SDI) Input/Output are all included.

Media Station V10 software, shipping exclusively with AVoption V10, allows you to perform automated capture and conform of both audio and video with full machine control, and to import an EDL or open an existing Avid sequence. The ability to render effects and export sequences for use in Pro Tools affords audio engineers complete control of the entire AAF/ OMF export process. An “Export to Pro Tools” command automates the export process, ensuring that you get the video and audio files exactly as you need for use in Pro Tools. You can also import audio from Pro Tools into Media Station V10 in order to verify audio is in sync with the original video, to lay back audio and video to tape with full machine control, or to export digital movies for review, mastering, or for Web distribution.

AVoption V10 also includes DigiTranslator 2.0 for easy OMF and AAF interchange, and fully supports record and playback of audio and video with Avid Unity™ Shared Storage.

Initially, Avoption V10 is only available for the Windows XP operating system. Apple OS X support will be provided in a future release. IMX and MXF video will also be supported in a future release. In the meantime, these resolutions may be transcoded for playback via Media Station V10 software.

Mac users: If you are looking to expand your client base with Avid video support, Digidesign recommend purchasing AVoption XL with AVoption V10 Assurance now, as all such purchases include an exchange to AVoption V10 as soon as it becomes available for Mac OS X.
