If you work in media, it’s likely you’ve heard this sentiment preached repeatedly over the past few years. Rapidly advancing technology has empowered creatives and increased audience demand. Content needs to be created faster, in larger volumes, and in higher quality to meet more sophisticated viewer expectations. Workflows designed for singular platform delivery are no longer viable.
Avid’s past, present and future has, is and always will be about helping creative people play together. Even 27 years ago, when the original Avid1/Media Composer was released, it was all about collaboration. Back then, the big technological breakthrough that took place was the ability to get 30 highly compressed frames playing from a hard disk in a single second.
MediaCentral gives creative teams of all sizes the power to create and deliver more content in shorter timeframes. It accelerates every part of the workflow and is the only media platform that integrates newsroom, sports, post, and live production workflows into a single scalable user experience. It delivers the same high performance and reliability whether you have a small team of two or a global media enterprise with hundreds of distributed contributors.
