LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, April 6, 2003: HEURIS is pleased to announce that the hot new OS X version of their flagship MPEG Power Professional line is fully compatible with AJA’s Kona HD Card. Users can now easily assemble a full HD post production suite including an Apple G4 running OS X, Final Cut Pro 3 an AJA Kona HD Card and HEURIS MPEG Power Professional—DTV HD for OS X for under $25,000. This gives users access to a proven, and powerful HD import, editing and encoding solution for a mere fraction of the cost of other HD post production suites.

"This opens a whole new market to HD," said HEURIS President Brian Quandt. "HD Commerce customers need access to a proven, low cost HD post production suite. Now with the AJA Kona Card, Final Cut Pro and our software, HD is within the grasp of a much wider corporate audience."

"As digital production rapidly evolves, we are pleased to be at the leading edge of the transition from high-cost, cumbersome editing suites to cost-effective, powerful, yet easy-to-use solutions," said John Abt, President of AJA Video Systems. "KONA’s 10-bit capture features in combination with Apple’s Final Cut Pro 3™ and HEURIS’ powerful encoding software creates a proven end-to-end HD post production solution. AJA Video is proud to be part of this revolution."
