Avid Technology, Inc. Launches the Latest Version of Media Composer® Video Editing Software with New Features That Dramatically Enhance the Speed and Productivity of Creative Teams and Individuals
2022-04-21 18:57:00
Avid Technology, Inc. launched the latest version of Media Composer® video editing software with new features that dramatically enhance the speed and productivity of creative teams and individuals. These include an “over-the-shoulder” remote collaboration experience available natively in Media Composer | Ultimate™ and Media Composer | Enterprise™ editions. The integration of the SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) protocol empowers editors to stream their high-resolution video and audio sequences anywhere at any time directly to individual or multiple end-points simultaneously—just like viewing editors’ work in-person, over their shoulder—whether Media Composer is on premises or in the cloud. With secure streaming to any device, workflows with Media Composer can now incorporate a “third monitor” experience that accelerates collaborative interaction such as content review and approval by producers and clients, facilitating real-time feedback and bringing projects to conclusion faster. Although SRT ensures secure streaming of content with end-to-end 128/256-bit AES encryption, users additionally can restrict client access to Media Composer output. Teams can connect to a Haivision Gateway on premises or in the cloud to enable stream replication and firewall traversal so that devices behind a firewall can reach streams without breaching network security.

Media Composer | Distributed Processing is included with Media Composer | Enterprise software subscriptions. Media Composer | Distributed Processing enables users to: Keep working—not waiting — Keeps editors in the creative zone, so they can continue working in Media Composer and have more time to craft their stories as jobs get completed in the background. They can offload media encoding tasks with support for a variety of camera, video, and audio file formats and codecs. Accelerate the entire workflow — Handles a media workflow’s most processor-intensive tasks—including transcode, consolidate, render, mixdown, and export—in a fraction of the time by coordinating dispersed processing resources. Multiple complex jobs can be set up to run in the background at any time—even overnight. Monitor systems more easily — Users can track, modify, monitor, prioritize, and filter jobs remotely through the web-based dashboard and new coordinator tools that give teams insight and access to distributed computer networks. Turn around content faster — With parallel processing, jobs can be completed faster to meet tight deadlines and the increasing need for multiple versions for streaming platforms. Delivers higher return-on-investment and cost savings to post-production teams by enabling them to complete projects faster with fewer assets. Get the most out of existing resources — Comprehensive administrative tools to create logical worker groups, monitor queues, and prioritize jobs. Optimizes available resources by turning Media Composer Mac or PC workstations into distributed processing “workers” when they’re not in use for editing.

Avid Announces Major Update to the Avid EUCON™ Ethernet Protocol
2021-08-04 18:24:00
Avid announced a major update to the Avid EUCON™ ethernet protocol that powers Avid control surfaces used in Pro Tools®, Logic Pro, Cubase, Nuendo and other digital audio workstations (DAW), from the free Avid Control app to the Avid S6™. Now, due to EUCON 2021.6, audio creators can customize everything from knob layouts for all their favorite plugins to the metering information displayed in the Avid Control app. These features offer unparalleled tactile control and visual feedback over all aspects of a mix. This version of EUCON includes a highly requested feature that enables users of any EUCON-enabled DAW to customize how they interact with all plugins from the control surface to suit their specific workflows and projects. Users can set up custom knob layouts for their preferred plugins, any way they want, to ensure that the most-used plugin parameters are always right where they want them located, significantly speeding up their mixing workflows. Separate custom layouts can be optimized for various control surface knob configurations; for example, 1x8 for Avid S1™, 2x4 for the Avid Dock, as well as 1x8, 2x4, and 4x8 for Avid S4™ and S6. Avid S1, Avid S3™ and Dock control surfaces tightly integrate with the free Avid Control app, which brings highly-detailed S6-style metering from mono to surround formats. With EUCON 2021.6, users can create their own meter strip layouts to optimize the visual information presented while mixing to include exactly the parameters that they want to see, in whatever order they want, without cluttering up the mixer view with unneeded elements. Along with custom knob layouts and meters, EUCON 2021.6 delivers several other capabilities, including Pro Tools Auto Match Indicators in Avid Control to aid in smoother automation writing (previously only offered in Avid S4 and S6), Solo/Mute clear buttons, GPO Fader Start for Avid S4 and S6, and many more enhancements. EUCON is Avid’s open, high-speed Ethernet control protocol that allows its control surfaces to connect to a variety of Avid and third-party creative audio and video software solutions. The protocol delivers integrated control over multiple applications and workstations, resulting in increased efficiencies and cost-effective workflow expansions. EUCON is currently supported by a wide variety of creative software, including Pro Tools, Media Composer, Logic Pro, Cubase, Nuendo, Adobe Premiere, Adobe Audition, and many more.

2021-07-29 15:15:00
Avid announced the release of the Sibelius for mobile iOS app, extending professional music notation workflows to iPad for the tens of thousands of composers, orchestrators and arrangers who have Sibelius subscriptions. Available immediately for download, Sibelius for mobile lets users move seamlessly between iPad and desktop, and from studio to coffeeshop to scoring stage, and write anywhere their inspiration may strike, while taking full advantage of the Apple Pencil and iPad touch experience. Sibelius for mobile expands the leading music notation program into a professional, cross-platform music notation solution. Almost anything concerning the heart and soul of composition and arrangement will now be available to iPad users. They can create, edit, share, and play Sibelius files everywhere via tablet, opening up new opportunities and locales in which to be creative. While Sibelius for mobile is fully featured, there are some notation and layout features only available in the desktop version, making it an integral part of a complete workflow. Sibelius for mobile comes at no additional cost with all Sibelius desktop subscriptions, enabling users to work where and how they want. While expanding their horizons, creators can keep all their work on one platform, seamlessly moving from desktop to tablet and back without ever having to import or export files. With files saved to iCloud, Dropbox, OneDrive or other iOS-supported cloud service, users have access anywhere to all their ideas and scores. They can take the world’s most powerful notation toolset and entire music portfolio with them wherever they go—ideal for those unexpected opportunities, instead of having to bring and break out a laptop when meeting with clients and collaborators. Sibelius for mobile reimagines the pen and paper experience for tablet with new patent pending note input workflows, taking full advantage of Apple Pencil and iPad touch capabilities so that nothing gets between the creator and the music. Enter notes with the onscreen Keypad or a keyboard, and Sibelius takes care of all note layout. Touch a note and drag up or down to change its value, or drag left or right to add a flat or sharp. With an Apple Pencil, tap a note and tilt up or down to add a flat or sharp, or tilt left or right to choose the note value. Sibelius for mobile is available for download now at no cost from the Apple App Store, and like desktop Sibelius, offers three tiers of functionality that enable users to scale the app for their music composing and notation needs. Customers with a current Sibelius or Sibelius | Ultimate desktop subscription or a perpetual license with an active Software Updates + Support Plan can unlock the equivalent tier of functionality at no cost—and like its desktop counterpart, Sibelius | First for mobile is free for everyone.

Avid’s Pro Tools | Ultimate Now Includes New Hybrid Engine for HDX Systems, Expanding Performance and Capabilities
2021-06-30 12:30:00
Avid® announced that its latest patented innovation, the Hybrid Engine, is now available for HDX Systems. Part of Pro Tools | Ultimate 2021.6, the HDX Hybrid Engine unlocks unprecedented power for HDX Systems, giving engineers, producers, and audio post-production professionals the ability to run the most demanding sessions with even greater ease—even with single-card systems—as well as providing performance with on-demand access to near-zero recording latency. The Hybrid Engine maximizes Pro Tools performance by intelligently splitting processing between native and HDX DSP mix engines. It lets users take advantage of their host computer’s robust mixing and processing power while also giving them immediate access to HDX’s onboard DSP for supplementing computing power and recording through AAX DSP plugins with virtually no latency. As a result, users can run massive sessions more smoothly, with remarkably low CPU load, optimized voice usage and reduced system delay. This innovation addresses a crucial need for many audio professionals who work with massive, DSP-hungry sessions. With the Hybrid Engine, even a single HDX card can now handle 2,048 voices at all sample rates—plenty of headroom for all the plugins, virtual instruments, surround mixes and other elements audio professionals must juggle to achieve the perfect mix. On top of maximizing performance, the Hybrid Engine lets users nullify the distracting effects of latency with the simple click of a button. When users put tracks in DSP Mode, the entire signal chain and AAX DSP-compatible plugins are processed directly on the HDX card while the host computer plays back the rest of their mix. When users toggle it off, the track reverts to Native Mode. With this intelligent integration built into Pro Tools, users can move effortlessly between tracking and mixing, without the hassle of latency.

Balance Sheet Analysis
Several numbers from Avid's current balance sheet were concerning, in two areas in particular: Equity and Cash & Equivalents. Avid management produced disappointing equity metrics this period, which stood at -130.0, representing a -4.8% change. This parameter often affects companies in the same industry and market capitalization by up to 4.3%. These metrics are all the more disappointing relative to their peers and should blunt potential positive momentum in its's stock price. Therefore, their equity movement component earned a score of 43. Also, Avid reported concerning cash and cash equivalents metrics in this filing. Specifically, they reported that cash and cash equivalents were 41.2, representing a -27.4% change from the last period. Their anemic growth in cash and cash equivalents, specifically in contrast to their industry peers' performance, should hurt their stock price. Discouraging results like these statistically lead to negative pressure in stock prices, so we rated their cash and cash equivalents with a score of 45. That said, one metric, Assets, stood out as strongly positive. Avid's management was effective in managing the value of the assets on their balance sheet, which now sits at 245.1 and represents a -10.5% change from the previous report. These results, specifically in contrast to their industry peers' performance, should support an upswing in the company's stock price. Consequently, their asset movement received a grade of 82. Therefore, the company's balance sheet earned a grade of 49.
| Parameter | Value | Change | Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Assets | 245.1 | -10.5% | 82 |
| Liabilities | 375.1 | -5.8% | 52 |
| Price to Book | -8.8 | 25.3% | 59 |
