IP workflows with Avid MediaCentral | Stream and Haivision
This was a demo and discussion together with Avid and Haivision held on Wednesday April 7th, 2021 about optimizing your IP workflows in Avid production environments with the new MediaCentral | Stream. Presented by Ray Thompson, Director of Market Solutions at Avid and Marcus Schioler, VP of Product Marketing at Haivision. The event is hosted by Sherdwain Charles, Avid ACSR and Senior Engineer at CineSys.
As more media companies have adopted IP workflows, leveraging various protocols for secure delivery of media across commodity internet to enable a growing number of workflows in post production and broadcast and beyond, Avid has introduced MediaCentral | Stream. It is an agonistic, software only service that enables the ingest of IP streams directly into Avid production environments and tools. Enabling both on premises and cloud based workflows, MediaCentral | Stream is compatible with SRT and RTMP, with a plan to add more protocols in the future.
The recent launch of MediaCentral | Stream included the Avid and Haivision partnership announcement, which allows any SRT enabled device to deliver live content reliably and securely to any on premises, or cloud Avid production environment. News, sports, remote live production, and many other workflows are now possible. With over 350 companies able to initiate SRT streams, the amount of devices that can now contribute to Avid production environments over IP is considerable.
View the recorded webinar below to learn more about MediaCentral | Stream, the workflows that are now enabled, and for a demo of how it all works.
