Aframe will launch the next generation of its cloud video collaboration platform at NAB. Calling it the Spring Release, the updated version will include expanded search and discovery features, enhanced multimedia format handling for non-video assets such as audio files, graphic files and documents, and a new approvals workflow for more streamlined feedback between users. The release is designed to make the management of professional video and production assets more efficient, accessible and cost effective, the company said.
Media interoperability standards, and the lack of them, are a hot potato for broadcasters and the content production community as we head into NAB.

At NAB The Broadcast Bridge met up with senior executives from satellite service provider STN. Mitja Lovsin, STN’s sales and marketing director, talked about the market, and an exciting new project that will use HEVC encoding and is to air late summer, 2015. STN, the Satellite Telecommunications Network, is based in Slovenia and uplinks 500 channels from their teleport. The company also provides playout facilities for 50 of those channels.

The relationship includes a proof of concept that uses Imagine’s software-based solutions and HP’s global scale and power in hardware, storage and managed private cloud solutions.
Cloud operations have been steadily gaining a foothold in broadcasting over the last five years but there are still limits to how much it can do and reservations about what it should be used for in TV and post-production. In particular there has been doubt over the viability of full editing using the technology but ahead of NAB 2015 Adobe has announced that its Anywhere collaborative workflow system can run in conjunction with platform provider Aframe’s remote server network to do exactly that.
