EDIUS X Workgroup contains all features of EDIUS X Pro and supports the same plug-ins and hardware as EDIUS X Pro. On top of that EDIUS X Workgroup offers additional features and benefits. EDIUS X Workgroup addresses broadcasters as well as individual users in need of an enhanced feature set.
Different to EDIUS X Pro the EDIUS X Workgroup version allows also an offline activation. Therefore, the editing system does not need to be connected to the internet. Generating an eID (EDIUS ID) is possible if you wish to do so, but not mandatory.
