MAM Systems Will Be Demoed at NAB: Flexible, Automatic, Compatible

  • Media access management is expected to be a catchphrase at this year’s NAB Show.
  • Vendors will be showcasing MAM tools that help facilitate more efficient interaction among TV stations’ news, promotion, sales, graphics and engineering departments.
  • “At the 2012 NAB Show, the top MAM vendors will introduce still more features and greater workflow efficiencies, with an emphasis on automation; more flexible control of media at the station and through mobile devices; and playout to a wide range of video platforms,” reports TVNewsCheck. “Some vendors will even stretch the definition of media management to automatically confirm commercial runs and generate client invoices.”
  • An early snapshot of some of the top products scheduled to be on display: Invenio MAM software by Harris integrated with its NewsForce server/editing platform; the latest from Avid emphasizing “improvements in workflow orchestration, innovative control of automation and remote access over mobile devices;” advances in scalable long-term storage from SGL; Grass Valley’s channel-in-a-box product; NVerzion’s “systemwide controls, cross-platform operation, automatic ingest from media services and automated commercial traffic and client billing;” and a new cloud-based service for media storage and emergency restoration from Front Porch Digital.
