The broadcast editor built around mixed format timelines and immediate playback, in the Pro configuration with the full effect set, format packs, and hardware acceleration modules included.
Overview
EDIUS never tried to be the fashionable editor. It was built for newsrooms and event work, where the requirement is not the prettiest interface but a timeline that plays back immediately no matter what has been dropped onto it, and it has been quietly excellent at that job for two decades.
The mixed format handling remains its real advantage. Different resolutions, frame rates, codecs, and aspect ratios can sit on the same timeline and play in real time without rendering or conversion first. For an editor cutting a package from three cameras, a phone clip, and archive footage on deadline, that is the whole argument.
Speed shows everywhere else too. Trimming responds instantly, the multicam mode handles up to sixteen angles with live switching, and the layout is dense in a way that suits keyboard driven work. Proxy mode lets a laptop cut high resolution material and relink to the originals for the final output without any manual file juggling.
This build is the Pro configuration with the full effect and transition set, the additional format packs including broadcast camera codecs, the hardware acceleration modules, and the output presets for both broadcast delivery and ordinary distribution.

Questions
Yes, within reason. Very high resolution material on modest hardware still benefits from the proxy workflow.
The bundled format packs cover the common broadcast camera and delivery codecs.
Through the interchange formats, yes, though effects rarely survive the trip and usually need rebuilding.
No. A card is only needed for tape ingest or external monitoring, and neither is required for file based work.
