CORE CONNECTION FOR MEDIA WORKFLOWS
Avid BY MICHAEL BURNS
A content data platform that “will redefi ne how media is created, managed and monetised” is being introduced by Avid. Content Core, a cloud- native, open and extensible production platform, unifi es asset identity, ingest, storage, metadata, orchestration and rights information into a single intelligent layer. It manages media assets and processes as interconnected data rather than isolated fi les. Wellford Dillard, CEO of Avid, said: “Studios and newsrooms are facing immense pressure to produce more content, faster and more effi ciently. Avid is responding to those needs with
high ROI solutions like Content Core, which was built from the ground up as a truly open, API-fi rst, pure SaaS solution that delivers extraordinary operational effi ciencies and can eliminate signifi cant infrastructure costs. I can’t wait to see the reaction when people come to our stand and see the future that Content Core is enabling.”
Every asset ingested into the platform receives a unique fi ngerprint, enabling teams working within the Avid ecosystem to authenticate provenance, track usage and measure ROI. AI-driven search and recommendations reduce time to fi nd and use content, while embedded review, approval and browser-based editing streamline workfl ows across distributed teams. 7.B59
