A Super-Simple Way to Safely Park and Back up Projects to the Cloud — Introducing Avid NEXIS | Cloudspaces

By Adam Noyes 0 Comment April 25, 2019

As production teams create more immersive, rich video content, they are paving the way for deeper engagement with audiences. But that higher-quality media comes with larger, more complex projects. Teams need the ability to back up or park storage workspaces quickly and easily to protect project files and keep content production moving forward. And, unless there’s a secret stash of money lying around, budget constraints make large, up-front purchases of more storage difficult if not impossible.

Eight Top Trends from NAB 2019

By Adam Noyes 0 Comment April 24, 2019

It wasn’t really a razzle-dazzle show at NAB this year. Production trends that seemed like they could be the future of media in years past — stereo 3D post-production, 360 video acquisition and VR-headset experiences — have faded into the background, becoming just another bullet point on a marketing sell sheet. Formerly eye-catching gadgets like handheld camera stabilizers have become a more familiar sight, and drones were nowhere near as prevalent on the show floor as in previous years. (Drone giant DJI didn’t even exhibit on the show floor this year.) And futuristic technology like light-field cinematography, which blew so many minds in 2017, was largely absent from the discussion this year. What took its place? Practical, short-term concerns. Customers were interested in sending video over IP networks, taking advantage of powerful GPU acceleration, and getting media into the cloud to leverage AI-based tools, such as Amazon Rekognition, that can help better identify, tag and monetize content.

2019 NAB Show Emphasize’s its Broadcaster Roots

By Adam Noyes 0 Comment April 22, 2019

This year the NAB Show seemed to emphasize its roots – the “B” in National Association of Broadcasters. Gone or barely visible were the fads of past years, such as stereoscopic 3D, 360-degree video, virtual/augmented reality, drones, etc. Not that these are gone – merely that they have refocused on the smaller segment of marketshare that reflects reality. There’s not much point in promoting stereo 3D at NAB if most of the industry goes ‘meh’.
