Thus, the flagship 844/Xe now costs only 19.995 euros instead of 42.995 euros, while the basic 844/Xi system is available for 9.995 instead of 23.995 euros. For the XBlur visual-effects add-on option, only 6.995 euros instead of 9.600 euros must be paid. The price for Media 100 HD, available from February 2004, will be 7.500 euros. This system can be used to carry out broadcast-quality conversions between all HD and SD formats based on the new HDX technology. Because Media 100 HD works independently of resolution, HD and SD source material can be mixed as desired in one timeline.
