Avid Symphony Nitris vs Media Composer Adrenaline

[Oliver Peters]

[rljohnson] “I know the HD Advantages but we are not ready for HD at this time that could change in 6 months but I need some solid reason for getting a Symphony Nitris rather than Media Composer Adrenaline.”

Symphony Nitris:
HD today as included, not an option. If you go HD in the future, SN lets you do uncompressed HD.
Hardware-accelerated true RT effects.
More advanced color correction.

Adrenaline:

Solid performer. Cross-platform. Some interface lag reported, probably caused by FireWire based I/O (DNA) system.

Compare features and prices AFTER NAB, next week.

Sincerely,
Oliver

Thanks for the info I will be watching NAB closely this week. Hopefully some great news will be announced and in turn make this an easier sell for the Symphony Nitris.
