The software was re-designed and re-written for portability ( versions for GNU / Linux and Mac OS X have been promised ) and now supports many more codecs including AVCHD, H. 264, AVC-Intra, DNxHD, ProRes, Red R3D, DPX, XDCAM HD 50, XDCAM EX, DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K, but only for the paid Pro version.

While Xpress Pro was originally aimed at DV and uncompressed standard definition editors, the upgrade to Xpress Pro HD with version 5. 0 of the software added support for high-definition editing with the 8-bit version of Avid's DNxHD codec or Panasonic's DVCPRO HD codec, and version 5. 2 added support for HDV editing.

DNxHD codec was developed by Avid Technology, Inc.

On February 13, 2008 Avid reported that DNxHD was approved as compliant with the SMPTE VC3 standard.

The DNxHD codec was submitted to the SMPTE organization as the framework for the VC-3 family of standards.

Ikegami offers camcorders capable of recording in MXF wrapper using Avid DNxHD video encoding at 145 Mbit / s, as well as MPEG-2 video encoding at 50 Mbit / s 4: 2: 2 long-GOP and 100 Mbit / s I-frame.

FFmbc is based on FFmpeg customized for broadcast and professional usage, adding support for XDCAM, Avid DNxHD and other formats.

The DNS33 priced below US $ 30, 000 and the hi definition Avid DNxHD camera, the HDN-X10, priced in between US $ 30, 000 and $ 40, 000.

These include various Cineform products, Edius HQ, Avid DNxHD, Apple Intermediate Codec and Apple ProRes 422, among others.

HDTV variants are now also available, which record in the Avid DNxHD format.

Avid DNxHD, which stands for " Digital Nonlinear Extensible High Definition ", is a lossy high-definition video post-production codec engineered for multi-generation compositing with reduced storage and bandwidth requirements.

DNxHD is intended to be an open standard, but as of March 2008, has remained effectively a proprietary Avid format.

The source code for the Avid DNxHD codec is freely available from Avid for internal evaluation and review, although commercial use requires Avid licensing approval.

* Avid DNxHD Codec Features

The DNxcel card uses Avid ’ s DNxHD compression which is available in 8-bit color formats up to 220mb as well as a 10-bit color format at 220mb.

* SMPTE video standards: VC-1 ( aka WMV3 ), VC-2 ( aka Dirac ), VC-3 ( aka AVID DNxHD ) and DPX image

; Video formats: Cinepak, Dirac, DV, H. 263, H. 264 / MPEG-4 AVC ( both 8-bit and 10-bit H. 264 ), HuffYUV, Indeo 3, MJPEG, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 Part 2, RealVideo 3 & 4, Sorenson ( thus enabling direct playback of the modified Sorenson H. 263 encoded videos downloaded from YouTube ), Theora, VC-1, VP5, VP6, VP8, DNxHD, Prores and some WMV.

Xpress Pro is limited to using DNxHD 8-bit compression, which is either imported from file or captured using a Media Composer with Adrenaline hardware.

With Media Composer v6. 0 is it now possible to have two DNxHD or AVC-Intra modules installed for dual stream stereoscopic capture and full resolution stereoscopic playback.

DNxHD offers a choice of three user-selectable bit rates: 220 Mbit / s with a bit depth of 10 or 8 bits, and 145 or 36 Mbit / s with a bit depth of 8 bits.

Such material is immediately accessible by editing platforms that directly support the DNxHD codec.

Miss Langford ( her first name was Evelyn ) was an attractive girl.

School began in August, the hottest part of the year, and for the first few days Miss Langford was very lenient with the children, letting them play a lot and the new ones sort of get acquainted with one another.

In 1961 the first important legislative victory of the Kennedy Administration came when the principle of national responsibility for local economic distress won out over a `` state's-responsibility '' proposal -- provision was made for payment for unemployment relief by nation-wide taxation rather than by a levy only on those states afflicted with manpower surplus.

The first systematic thinking about this Pandora's box within Pandora's boxes was done four years ago by Fred Ikle, a frail, meek-mannered Swiss-born sociologist.
