Tewksbury, Mass. March 30, 2007  Avid Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVID) today announced the worldwide availability of version 2.7 of its award-winning Media Composer® family of products and version 5.7 of Avid Xpress® Pro software.  The new Media Composer and Avid Xpress Pro systems now include support for Intel-based Mac notebooks and workstations, new workflow capabilities, and an updated bundle of third-party content creation software.  Both Avid products also offer expanded format support, including write-back capabilities for the popular Sony XDCAM and Panasonic P2 file-based media formats, as well as support for the emerging 720p50 HD broadcast standard in Europe.  In addition, version 2.7 of the Media Composer system introduces two industry breakthroughs  Avid ScriptSync, a next-generation script-based editing tool that uses phonetic speech recognition technology to automatically sync text with media; and Avid DNxHD® 36, the industry’s most efficient HD codec for offline editorial, which runs at a data rate of 36 Mb/s (megabits per second), only slightly greater than the data rate of DV25 media, but at full-raster HD resolution.  Avid will showcase the new Media Composer and Avid Xpress Pro systems  alongside other technology innovations  at the National Association of Broadcasters convention next month in Las Vegas from April 16 - 19, 2007
