Pinnacle Edition Pro
The Pinnacle Edition Pro is not a pure Video
Editing Card. We have included it in this section under
Professional Video Editing Cards because it's a bit of an
unusual product. The card itself is a basic firewire card. You
also get an ATI (8500) chipset 64 MB AGP Graphics Card. What
however is unusual is that this is the first professional video
editing system to use the power of the AGP technology and use
the wider bandwidth that the AGP slot has over the traditional
PCI slots into which most Professional Video Editing products
fit. Bundled with the cards described above is the Pinnacle's
Edition 5 software package. This allows you to allocate
processing work between the processor and graphics card.
From Pinnacle's site:
"Pinnacle Edition PRO version 5 is also the first video
editing software package that is natively 3D accelerated, which
makes it a breakthrough for video editing by providing support
to graphic processing processors that are up to 10 times faster
than those used on competitive systems and provide amazing GPU-based
effects such as Page Curl, 2D/3D DVE, Lens Flare, Water Drop,
Water Wave, Magnify, Spotlight, Explosion, Stained Glass,
Replicate, Reflection and 3D object mapping."
