V4B-PC4 high end PC for Edius X 10.31.8487 upwards only – Hardware Technical Specifications

This is NOT recommended for Edius 9x

As an Edius.net reseller, our turnkey computer systems offer our customers the ability to plug their system together turn on the power, and get on with being creative as soon as you switch on your system, and not have to worry about the technical stuff.

This is possible because built into the price is a 1 day software install and full test, and if you collect your system from us you also get face to face initial training, both worth over £700 and technical support for a year worth £250.

You can of course buy the Edius software and buy all the parts to make your own computer system, but then from a hardware support standpoint, you are on your own.

This computer hardware has been chosen by Video4Business for best performance with Edius. It is not chosen on lowest price, it is chosen as suitable technology to give the best editing experience against investment. The motherboard has been chosen for future expansion by adding PCIe cards, such as Black Magic Design also sold here, when you buy or at a later stage.

For best smooth video playback performance on an external TV Grass Valley recommend adding an input output card such as Black Magic Design.

Intel Quick Sync is required by Edius to give hardware acceleration for MP4 and H265/HEVC playback and encoding, which is available through the chosen processor’s on board UHD graphics chip.

NOTES

Back up Your Data

Note: Hard drives in RAID arrays are very fast but there is a risk one drive can fail at any time with a total loss of data, so a USB 3 external hard drive is recommended as a backup.

A disk image backup of your Windows drive is also recommended, so for example a 5TB Western Digital My Book USB 3 hard drive is recommended as a backup device.

Intel Quick Sync

To enable Intel Quick Sync hardware acceleration in Edius one monitor is connected to the motherboard graphics connector, the other to the graphics card.
