The ION Edit Decision List supports the import and export of industry standard file formats and provides full "autoconform" capabilities. Standard CMX/GVG/Sony style events can be executed directly, with multiple source and multiple record machines online simultaneously. As well, a series of sequential events can be executed in real time without the need for pre-rolls or post-rolls if desired.

• track arming of video and multiple audio channels automatically

• complete list management capability including sort, ripple, renumbering, delete with undo

• assignment of reel numbers to multiple source devices during autoconform

• user defined "handles" (computer modification of record in and out points for overlaps during dialogue pre-lays)

• events can be entered in time code or in film feet/frames mode

• selectable automatic list scrolling, event autolooping or individual event execution

• "Global Events" define system actions to be automatically performed during the user-defined pre-roll and post-roll periods when executing a CMX style event

• up to 9,999 different pre-programmed "Sequence" (macro) keys can be executed by the EDL, automating much more than traditional editing systems

• multiple files can be stored to/recalled from disk via an intuitive directory system that alphabetically lists drives and contents
