Discreet ship edit 6.5 non-linear editing suite

Discreet has announced that edit 6.5, the latest version of its award-winning, real-time Windows 2000-based desktop non-linear editing (NLE) system, is now shipping.
The edit 6.5 runs exclusively on the Pinnacle TARGA 3000 and offers editors faster performance, better media management capabilities and additional concurrent real-time effects and graphics.
The product includes direct timeline access to combustion 2 – Discreet's desktop visual effects and compositing software. Discreet's edit 6.5 software also features accurate, multi-layered offline-to-online workflow, from edit to Discreet's smoke or fire IRIX-based workstation systems, for high-resolution non-compressed finishing.
Supporting up to three non-compressed graphics layers as well as two streams of non-compressed or compressed video, edit 6.5 s is also DTV-ready, with full 16:9 image capture and playback, serial digital, composite and component I/O. With the concurrent real-time graphics and effects architecture in edit 6.5, editors can complete jobs quicker without the time-consuming process of rendering to disk.
Multiple timeline layers from edit 6.5 can also be accessed directly from combustion 2, allowing elements to be manipulated and rendered directly into the edit timeline or offloaded to a remote rendering station using free network rendering.
Discreet serves a broad range of markets involved in content creation, delivery, and use, including film and television postproduction, broadcast production, games, animation, multimedia for corporate, government, and education, and the rich media for the web.
