SSL DV To Showcase LiveEdit

The Solid State Logic Company SSL DV will feature the enhanced Gravity LiveEdit real time non-linear editing system at NAB 2010.
LiveEdit is said to deliver the power to modify content, while keeping within pre-existing time schedules for live and near live broadcasting applications.
"The Gravity LiveEdit is a full featured non-linear editing system that gives the broadcaster incredible control over content editing, live commercial insertion right up to air and compliance monitoring," said Shaun McTernan, Vice President of Marketing for SSL DV, who are the makers of gravity media asset management systems for the broadcast, government, education and corporate markets.
"LiveEdit lets an operator modify a timeline in many ways including append, insert, overlay, replace, trim, splice, slip, lift, cut, copy and paste functions. The delete feature can either close the resulting gap or leave it open for content insertion.
"For instance, if LiveEdit was used during any number of famous 'costume malfunctions,' the broadcast audience would not have known it happened because a shot of the crowd could have been quickly inserted into the program flow, without losing program continuity. LiveEdit is also perfect for live sports applications and for cross-culture compliance monitoring," he said.
Gravity LiveEdit is a two-part system. Part one is based on the Gravity PPT (Package Production Tool) timeline interface for editing live stream audio and video and creating a dynamic playlist.
Part two features the decoder and player logic to play out the content supporting the dynamic playlists. LiveEdit provides the user with fast and simple editing capabilities to manipulate a live stream as it is repurposed and rebroadcast. The audio and video streams can be edited independently to create split audio 'L' cuts like any contemporary video editor.
Recording streams can be appended, inserted, overlaid and replaced into the timeline at any point just like completed files, as Gravity processes live streams and finished files identically.
