Brings high quality audio-processing tools to popular video editing platform.

Cambridge, MA (December 8, 2008) – iZotope, Inc., a leading innovator in audio signal processing technology, has licensed audio plug-ins and DSP algorithms to Grass Valley for its new EDIUS 5 nonlinear editing platform. The software includes a third-party bundle of plug-ins designed to help video professionals create high-definition content.

Additional plug-ins like chorus, delay and flanger are included for creating special audio effects. 

“iZotope’s high-quality audio effects, and refining and sweetening tools are an excellent addition to EDIUS 5,” said Mark Narveson, Director of International Product Marketing for Desktop and Enterprise Solutions for Grass Valley, a division within Thomson. “iZotope tools like Automatic Gain Compensation, VocalEnhance and AudioRestore make it possible for our users to get professional sounding audio in their video projects quickly and easily.”
