The present and future of post production business and technology What else did Avid announce at NAB 2010?.

From my NAB BuZZ special report:

Two words I never thought I’d associate with Avid are Interoperability and Openness, and yet this has been the theme of Avid’s 2010 announcements.

Since the recent rebranding of the five Avid-owned companies as one Avid, the company is using the tag line We’re Avid, are you, and constantly pushed the idea that Avid was open and stood for interoperability.

Heading off their event announcements was the concept of an Integrated Media Enterprise with an open media catalog for metadata management. Metadata management means that media can be found when it’s needed using search functions. New is the ability to view metadata in a Media Composer timeline.

Integrated Media Enterprise is at the core of Avid’s “any media, any platform” editing solution across diverse locations. Also important is a new revision to Interplay: Interplay 2, which comes in two forms. Interplay Media Asset Management is based on Avid’s recent purchase of Blue Order. Featuring an open, modular achitecture and support for a unified media management.

The Original Interplay is now known as Interplay Production to pair with the Interplay Media Asset Manager.
