AWS on the NAB Show Floor

Content Creation

Creative studios need technology that enables them to keep pace with increasing demand in a competitive marketplace. At NAB Show, AWS will highlight studio in the cloud workflows that give customers immediate access to a cloud-based infrastructure and content pipeline. Virtual workstations and powerful tools for editing, rendering, and visual effects will be on display, along with new solutions built with AWS Thinkbox services and Amazon Machine Learning tools.

Content Distribution

Broadcast leaders are choosing to build the future of television on AWS, deploying live linear video workflows on the AWS Cloud and unifying traditional broadcast and direct-to-consumer distribution. AWS will showcase transport and distribution workflows that lower latency and increase efficiency as well as Statmux for AWS Elemental MediaLive technology to enable end-to-end broadcast workflows in the cloud. Other innovations on display include new live streaming technologies, serverless channel playout, and advances in video quality.

Media Supply Chain

Digital Asset Management and supply chain solutions support collaboration and augment the value of content. At NAB, AWS will bring together a broad selection of media solutions and partner technologies to help enrich and monetize video offerings and gain efficiencies across the content pipeline.
