unlike other real-time editing products, canopus technology abstracts the complex processing away from the hardware and uses the cpu power of the system to achieve its real-time processing.

    since cpu speeds increase constantly, canopus real-time increases as you upgrade your system. this keeps your canopus hardware from becoming obsolete. new features can be added by simply upgrading the software. increased real-time functionality can be added by simply upgrading the speed of your system.

    with the cpu speeds at the time of this writing, running two real-time chroma keys is barely possible, but in a few months, system speeds should reach the level where it is possible to assemble a system that can run two real-time chroma keys, and in the not-so-distant future, even more.
