Avid | On Demand SaaS Platform Unveiled to Deliver Media Workflows in the Cloud
April 07 2018 - 12:37PM
AVID CONNECT - Avid® (Nasdaq:AVID), the
platform that powers media and entertainment, today unveiled Avid l
On Demand, a cloud services and solutions platform that provides
media production capabilities on demand. Avid | On Demand lets
media organizations conveniently deploy the capabilities they need
on a per-project basis with optimal elasticity—and without a
drawn-out deployment phase or large capital outlay. Unveiled today
at the fifth annual Avid Connect, these cloud innovations will be
demonstrated during the NAB Show at Avid’s booth #SU801, April
9-12.
Avid | On Demand enables teams to efficiently manage and deliver
content to any device anywhere—all in a completely secure
environment with controlled access. Avid | On Demand empowers teams
to automate many content transformation and quality control tasks,
and auto-provision the level of cloud resources needed to complete
a job. In every situation, users pay only for the resources they
need, when they need them—without having to integrate or manage
third-party hardware or worry about low utilization of capital
investments.
“With Avid | On Demand, the days of over-provisioning are over.
Our news, sports and post customers can fully capture the promise
of the cloud to benefit their entire production workflow,” said
Dana Ruzicka, Chief Product Officer at Avid. “Individuals and teams
can collaborate more effectively. Storage and other key resources
become far more manageable and cost efficient. And users can do
everything in a completely secure environment.”
Avid | On Demand includes the new Avid l AI suite, which applies
machine learning and cognitive services to production workflows in
a media-savvy way. Avid | On Demand cloud solution introductions
include Shared Library On Demand for storing, sharing, and
accessing indexed content libraries from anywhere. Also new,
Editorial On Demand enables editing teams to share folders,
projects, bins and media for greater collaboration no matter where
they’re located.
Avid | On Demand cloud services include:
- Avid l AI: A new suite of Avid and third-party
capabilities that automate content indexing, such as closed
captioning verification, language detection, facial recognition,
scene detection, and speech-to-text conversion. Avid | AI services
introduced at Avid Connect include:
- Avid Phonetic Search: Avid’s unique phonetic
search approach automatically indexes media, allowing users to
easily find content by typing in a word or phrase.
- Avid | Illuminate On Demand: As part of the
content supply chain, Illuminate On Demand automates the process of
closed captioning and language verification. It can be run as an
on-demand service that quickly analyzes full libraries of media,
saving time, resources, and money, as well as significantly
increasing accuracy.
- Microsoft Cognitive Services: Avid enables
MediaCentral® customers to leverage Microsoft’s Cognitive Services
to auto-index content using machine learning algorithms such as
facial detection, scene recognition and speech-to-text indexing,
creating a library of rich metadata that can be readily
searched.
- Avid | Transformation Services: A suite of
services that transcodes and packages content for delivery to any
platform. Avid Transformation services include Avid and third-party
services like Microsoft Media Services.
Avid | On Demand cloud solutions include:
- Shared Library On Demand: A powerful
cloud-based media library that allows users to store, manage, and
search for content using MediaCentral to connect dispersed creative
teams. Editors, loggers, directors, producers, and archivists can
all connect to a common library that makes media accessible from
any device, wherever they are.
- Editorial On Demand: When customers need to
increase their editorial capacity to handle a new project, instead
of investing in and setting up new systems, they can simply spin up
resources from their Avid | On Demand dashboard with only the Avid
Media Composer® seats and storage they need, and spin them back
down again afterwards—all in a secure environment with controlled
access.
