In TV Technology's article 'Avid Accelerates CBS' Convention Coverage,' Walt Leiding (technical supervisor and editor for CBS News) briefly describes the workflow, which includes Avid NewsCutter Nitris DX and Avid VideoRAID storage systems with the Avid DNxHD 145 codec.

 

"Leiding said the Avid Nitris gave him 'unprecedented' abilities for controlling source and sequence."

 

"He [Leiding] added, 'Organization is the key to editing, in general, and the ability to cherry pick HD shots that I know will sync up in one of the best parts of the Avid systems.  It's like driving a really responsive German sport car.  The system goes wherever I point it, and it can stop on a dime.  It's a dream."
