Video Record/Replay Plug-in

SADiE has always included strong support for video post production applications, and in modern times many people are operating with video files for synchronising audio to picture.

The option to play back and record video inside SADiE can be added to any platform at varying levels:-

• Software only - this adds the ability to import video files, as AVI or Quicktime files, and play them back in SADiE's timeline, viewing the picture in a window on the desktop.
• Software and Matrox Parhelia card - the customised Matrox Parhelia card adds the ability to view an AVI video on an external composite monitor.
• Video Sub-system - this option includes the Matrox Parhelia as well as hardware to capture video and encode to DV format.

The SADiE video system is important for most video post and syncing tasks, but also is being used for music recording and editing applications, where having a picture of the artists or conductor during the editing stage can provide information about the audio being edited.
