Avid Introduces New Avid | Stream IO Software-based Media Ingest & Playout Platform to Deliver Next-Generation News and Sports Production
April 14 2023 - 1:30PM
Avid® (Nasdaq: AVID) is today announcing the tech preview demo at
NAB Show of Avid | Stream IO™, a new flexible software-based
platform for production ingest and playout delivered through the
convenience of subscription.
With a flexible architecture that can be configured to ingest or
play out IP streams and SDI streams, Avid | Stream IO allows
content producers to migrate from legacy workflows and on-premises
deployment to cloud and IP workflows at their own pace.
The solution also offers flexible channel configurations,
supporting popular video formats, codecs and resolutions, enabling
media companies to leverage new and emerging technologies within
their production workflows. Avid | Stream IO offers complete
deployment flexibility, supporting both off-the-shelf certified
hardware for on-premises studio environments and standard virtual
machines in the cloud.
The new platform also allows media companies to increase
efficiency by combining different ingest sources in a single
configuration. Ideal for live entertainment and multi-camera
productions, Avid | Stream IO supports all common production
formats including SDI, Compressed IP streams - SRT / RTMP / NDI,
with SMPTE 2110 due later this year. And as a next-generation
product, Avid | Stream IO offers all the best capabilities of
Avid’s proven hardware-based server solutions—AirSpeed® and
FastServe®—while expanding support for emerging IP standards and
higher-precision formats, such as 4K and HDR.
Tim Claman, Avid SVP and General Manager of Video & Media
Solutions, explains, “We’re very excited to announce Avid | Stream
IO, our next-gen production ingest and playout solution, designed
to help our customers bring their proven end-to-end Avid workflow
deployments into the future. With a flexible software architecture
that supports deployment on-prem or in the cloud, Avid | Stream IO
is configurable for both SDI and IP, and supports high-precision
formats 1080P, UHD and HDR, all at a lower cost per channel than
traditional hardware-based systems.”
Avid | Stream IO also supports Avid’s proven fast-turnaround
workflows, including shot-listing, craft editing and logging—all
while tightly integrating with Avid’s MediaCentral® production
platform.
Claman concludes, “We believe Avid | Stream IO will help
production teams accelerate their content creation pipelines, both
now and in the future, by delivering unparalleled speed, flexible
deployment, and adaptable support for media formats.”
Avid | Stream IO will be demonstrated at NAB Show booth N1221
(April 16-19, Las Vegas) and will be commercially available later
this year.
