Using the single-space, rack mountable Avid DNxchange system, professionals can encode HD-SDI signals from cameras, switchers, routers, and decks to Avid DNxHD(TM) media - which delivers mastering quality HD media with the bandwidth of SD video files. Once the HD-SDI material is encoded to the Avid DNxHD format, users can easily move the HD media over existing SD-SDI infrastructures within their facilities. In addition, professionals can use the Avid DNxchange system to convert Avid DNxHD media into uncompressed HD files and output the media to any device with an HD-SDI interface. "Avid DNxchange was designed to give broadcasters an easy way to begin working with HD media without having to replace the widely-deployed SDI (1) (Serial Digital Interface) A physical interface widely used for transmitting digital video in various formats.
