+ Maximize the value of your team’s media assets

Media is one of the most valuable assets for sports teams. The Avid Interplay | Production Facility Package makes it easy to create, find, archive, and monetize content—without compromising creativity, speed, or flexibility.

The Interplay | Production Facility Package includes Interplay | Production, Media Composer | Software, and ISIS shared storage—plus professional installation services and support by a dedicated team with years of experience and expertise in ensuring the success of sports customers worldwide.

Archive and find media assets with ease using Interplay | Production

Archived video clips, games, and highlight reels are valuable when creating content to engage fans, generate advertising revenue, and build your brand. With Interplay | Production, editors, producers, and assistants everywhere in the world can find, arrange, edit, review, and annotate the most exciting plays and game-winning clips—faster than ever before. What used to take hours, now takes minutes.

Collaborate in real time with Media Composer | Software

It used to be nearly impossible for production teams to get creative with content produced in real time during games. Now with Media Composer | Software, the most trusted high-performance video editing software in the industry, your organization can produce inspiring content on the fly and focus on telling a great story.

And with the new Media Composer | Software subscription and floating license offerings, you can now scale your workgroup as needed—even at a moment’s notice. Simply add additional Media Composerseats on a month-to-month basis when production demands extra editors. You’ll always have the flexibility and choice you need to best address your project requirements.

Get superior flexibility with ISIS shared storage

ISIS shared storage systems provide unparalleled flexibility to handle today’s massive increase in digital assets. By enabling everyone on your team to access content at the same time, you can connect media professionals in distributed and complex workflow environments using a single integrated platform. And ISIS makes it easy to expand the system while sustaining real-time performance, so you can scale your system to accommodate project changes quickly and efficiently.

+ Keep up the pace with a streamlined workflow

When big plays and events happen, fans want to see replays at every angle on the scoreboard and watch the most exciting moments online as soon as they occur. To help speed up your workflow and provide access to media and services across your organization, Interplay, ISIS, Media Composer, and other Avid products run on the new Avid MediaCentral Platform—the foundation of our Avid Everywhere vision.

This open, extensible, and customizable platform is at the foundation of all Avid products, enabling Avid and third-party solutions to tightly integrate with each other. Not only does it streamline your entire workflow—from media creation to monetization—the platform provides greater efficiency and flexibility over pieced together solutions. Plus, it provides the utmost security and protection at its core to safeguard your content and assets.

+ Build a strong, memorable brand through high-impact content

To build your brand in the sports market, you need to create engaging and entertaining content that fans will remember. The Avid Artist Suite includes the most widely used creative tools in the industry, enabling sports organizations to create high-impact content that motivates and inspires fans.

Avid’s industry-leading video and media management solutions provide the workflows you need to enhance collaboration and produce inspiring content—no matter where you are in the world.

Edit globally using Media Composer | Cloud

With Media Composer | Cloud (formerly Interplay Sphere), you can extend real-time production everywhere, enabling remote editors and videographers to ingest, edit, and move media fluidly between locations.

Manage and maximize the value of your media

In order to manage an exponentially increasing amount of media assets and optimize their value, sports organizations need to leverage cutting-edge media management solutions. Avid’s industry-leading Interplay | MAM (media asset management) solution features intuitive, timesaving workflows, which enable broadcasters to:

  • Streamline media lifecycle management from acquisition to delivery
  • Grow top line revenues, market share, and brand
  • Reduce time to market and increase audience share
  • Rapidly respond to competitive threats and new opportunities
  • Derive more revenue from owned or licensed assets
+ Deliver content across multiple platforms

Fans are enjoying media on more screens and devices than ever before, so it’s important for sports organizations to find new ways to distribute finished content across multiple platforms. By connecting Media | Distribute (formerly Interplay Pulse) to your platform, you can automate and streamline publication to the web, mobile devices, and social channels, making multiplatform distribution faster and more intuitive than ever.
