Build your professional and affordable editing studio using the Aurora PipePRO™ with CCIR 601 resolution at uncompressed rates! Primary Use The Aurora PipePRO™ is the offline editor's dream: packing a powerful punch in a very compact package -- at an amazingly low price point! Aurora's PipePRO™ is specifically designed to take full advantage of the Final Cut Pro RT Extreme architecture while providing the professional-level audio and video inputs and outputs that editors demand. This flexibility allows for a wide variety fo compression and Input/Output options. With RT Extreme, your RT effects capabilities scale with your CPU's power. Design: The Pipe™ family of cards represents a radical departure from traditional low-cost solutions. Aurora engineers have crafted a high-performance custom PCI interface specifically for doing video operations. Unlike solutions which use "off-the-shelf" PCI interfaces, the Pipe™ core is designed specifically for the demands of uncompressed video. We have painstakingly optimized every aspect of our PCI core for the highest performance in the latest G5 PCI-X environments. This core technology represents the baseline for future high-performance Aurora products.
