Dayang, the Beijing-based maker of character generators and video editing systems, is launching some major new high-definition post systems at NAB 2007 this April.

Among them is the D3-Edit HD9 production workstation, the latest addition to Dayang’s range of PC-based video and audio editing systems. The new workstation offers five layers of HD stream playout performed in real time with 3D DVEs active on the top four layers.

Integrated D3-CG 3D graphics, titling and animation are bundled for standalone workstation or networked applications. There’s also 12-bit real-time chroma-key, luma-key, graphics and title key matte extraction, including fine mask adjustment to ensure a clean foreground.

The D3-Edit HD9 has four upconversion modes (window, box, margin and zoom) supported by three downconversion modes (box, margin and zoom). Modes can be selected in any combination. Complete 12-bit primary/secondary/local color correction is provided, with real-time signal analysis.

Audio capabilities include waveform editing, audio mixing and easy interfacing with third-party audio workstations via the XML file format. The D3-Edit HD9 supports IEEE-1394 devices (MiniDV, DVCAM, DVCPRO25/50), Panasonic P2/P2 HD and Sony XDCAM/XDCAM HD footage.

The company will also introduce the D3-CG 3D, a template-based HD/SD title creation and system. Features include fast text search, editing and forwarding, real-time content update from a rolling data source, editing during playout plus on-the-fly control of roll and crawl position and speed. Up to nine animated logos can be generated simultaneously or independently.
