Direct Linear Editing
Direct Linear editing is a hybrid of non-linear and linear editing. Focusing on creativity and productivity, a Direct Linear digital editing environment offers the unique timing and flow benefits that come from live switching or “linear” editing as well as the benefits of non-destructive or “non-linear” editing. Supporting a truly natural editing work flow, not unlike working with audio, a Direct Linear environment from Roland features an intuitiveness, ease of use and stability essential to an editing professional.
A more intuitive editing process is at the heart of the Direct Linear concept
With a focus on creativity and productivity, Direct Linear editors from Roland bring outstanding stability, ease-of-use and expressiveness. They offer a world without loss or interruption that combines the feel of linear editing with the flexibility of non linear editing. A world where the edit comes first, where the feel is real.
The DV-7DL Series supports the pursuit of excellence in editing as a stand-alone machine. As a stand-alone machine, the DV-7DL Series offers no compromise in operation, high quality video, maximum expression and reliability. Benefits include professional, stress free, operation and timely results. Avoiding downtime and supporting creativity is the way to go.
Non-stop editing provides continuous creativity
Most operations can be done from a single menu! The world leading first Non-stop editing system makes it easy to edit your ideas while playing back the video. In addition, most of the operations can be made from a single user-friendly edit menu screen.
The Titler enhances the creativity and quality of your video.
DV-7DL offers two title tracks, each supporting separate titles. You can also create a variety of titles by using the "Text" function that offers multiple fonts and styles: the "Graphic" function that offers a straight line, curved line, ellipse, and square formats; the "Background" function that offers your choice of background images; and the " Title in/out " function that sets the points of title in and out. Additionally, picture images and text can be imported using a memory card, CD-ROM, or PC. The Titler supports 16:9 wide screen mode.
A/B Roll Editing and the T-Bar controller offers the intuitive feeling of linear editing.
Intuitive A/B Roll Editing is a key feature of Direct Linear where you can clearly feel the evolution of the Direct Linear concept.Two different video sources can be edited directly and simultaneously in 100% real time offering the live feel of linear editing.
Create vivid movement and depth from still images.
