EditShare, the technology leader that enables storytellers to create and manage collaborative workflows at every stage from storyboard to screening, will use its presence at BroadcastAsia 2024 (stand 6G2-10, Singapore Expo, 29 – 31 May) to highlight the creative, economic and productive benefits of its unified approach to content management. The presentation will show EditShare’s scalable and collaborative solutions for media across multiple premises, cloud and hybrid implementations, focusing on ease of operation and security of content.

EFS, the EditShare media storage architecture, has now been boosted with the addition of EFS NVMe, adding the high performance, high bandwidth solid state technology as another building block. For demanding creative applications – like DPX, OpenEXR, 4k, 8k and beyond – EVS provides throughput three times faster than previous generation SSD servers, while still being integrated with and managed by the overall EFS environment, including traditional servers, nearline storage, archives and the cloud.

MediaSilo, the video collaboration platform for sharing work in progress, sees enhanced review functionality, including side-by-side version comparisons, and more facilities for making, tracking and acknowledging comments and sign-offs. To provide protection when sharing review material, MediaSilo incorporates visible and forensic video watermarking as well as image and document watermarking, dynamically inserting customizable viewer information into the file. The result is a secure but effective way of distributing all assets, including scripts, casting shots and marketing materials as well as content.

Improved security, along with more branding customization and in-video logo watermarks are also among the enhancements for Screeners.com, the preferred press screening platform widely used by major studios and production companies worldwide. Reviewers will see an enhanced OTT-style experience, with improved content recommendations, watchlists and expiry notifications.

“From the foundation of EditShare, 20 years ago, our overriding aim has been to give creators the tools they need to make and deliver great content, without tying them up in technology,” said Tara Montford, EVP Sales and Co-Founder at EditShare. “That still drives our thinking today, and we continue to innovate as we strive for those goals. We allow open interworking with the creative tools users really need, providing the platform for truly end-to-end workflows from script to screen; and we protect it all through excellent security.”

Visitors to BroadcastAsia will discover all the latest enhancements to EditShare products, like FLEX Sync which provides powerful tools to sync with services like Amazon S3, Wasabi and Backblaze, and the new EditShare One Organize module, ensuring users can easily identify assets whether they are stored locally, remotely or in the cloud.
