Sony Vegas+DVD Production Suite offers expanded HDV support

Sony Media Software has announced the Vegas+DVD Production Suite, a significant upgrade to its professional video, audio and DVD production software solution.

The suite includes Vegas 7 and DVD Architect 4 software, as well as a Dolby Digital AC-3 multichannel encoder for 5.1 surround output.

The Vegas 7 nonlinear editing software combines HDV and XDCAM support with workflow enhancement tools that make the application more powerful and intuitive.

Responding to industry-wide demand for new HDV-enabled technology, Vegas 7 software offers full frame rate playback of native HDV on the Vegas timeline and includes improved memory for handling HDV 1080i long-form projects. In addition, Vegas 7 software provides all of the tools needed to edit proxy and full-resolution HD and SD XDCAM MXF files natively without requiring further transcoding.
