SNS trae a NAB 2025 flujos de trabajo más rápidos

From the high-performance shared storage solutions Studio Network Solutions (SNS) are known to the new frontier of everything powered by Artificial Intelligence, the company based in Missouri (USA) is showing its latest proposals at NAB 2025.

When working with thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of high-resolution media files, transcoding them into proxies can be time-consuming. SNS is addressing this issue reduciendo drásticamente el tiempo de generación de proxies con Transcode Accelerator v.2, ahora disponible e incluido sin coste adicional para los usuarios de EVO.

En lugar de depender únicamente de sus sistemas EVO, el nuevo Transcode Accelerator puede distribuir tareas de transcodificación a sus servidores EVO y estaciones de trabajo macOS en su red que ejecutan Adobe Media Encoder. Este enfoque garantiza que la carga de trabajo se distribuya de manera eficiente entre los recursos de red existentes, lo que se traduce en un importante ahorro de tiempo para los trabajos de transcodificación de gran tamaño. Lo que antes tardaba días, ahora puede tardar horas, y lo que antes tardaba horas, ahora puede tardar minutos.

This version also introduces support for new codecs for EVO users, allowing proxy generation for Somy, Canon and all other video codecs currently supported by Media Encoder.

It is also the first engine of orchestration for Media Encoder that leverages existing hardware, helping organizations maximize the value and utilization of their current resources, without the need for additional transcoding servers, cloud-based services or other equipment.

AI Playground

The Generative Artificial Intelligence está ganando impulso en la producción de medios, pero es solo un aspecto del impacto más amplio de la IA en nuestra industria. La IA también está transformando la gestión de media, la optimización del almacenamiento y más. SNS está a la vanguardia con herramientas impulsadas por IA diseñadas para ayudar a los equipos creativos a aprovechar todo el potencial de estas innovaciones.

At NAB 2025 SNS will explore the AI Playground to explore the various applications of AI in a safe and practical environment. In the AI Playground, you can discover how AI can improve your workflow, whether it's querying complex combinations of metadata, identifying similar video and image files, locating specific timecode moments in media, and much more.

The AI Playground is an exclusive demo experience at NAB designed to explore the broad potential of AI and inspire open discussions about which AI concepts would be most valuable when applied to real-world workflows. Schedule your demo today to see AI Playground in action.

Archive and Restore Workflow

SNS has announced in Las Vegas that there will soon be a new archive and restore workflow in ShareBrowser. With the integration of S3 compatible platforms, as well as SMB network devices and EVO remote shares, users can archive and restore media directly from the ShareBrowser interface.

ShareBrowser's new archiving features will provide real-time progress updates on archive and restore statuses, while special watermarks will indicate whether a clip is archived or available online. Users will be able to preview archived media to ensure they have selected the correct clip or clips before starting the restore process. This solution provides greater visibility into archived media and the archive/restore process, allowing teams to manage both active projects and long-term storage within the ShareBrowser MAM environment.

SNS training academy

La Academia de Formación SNS, que también se lanzará a finales de este año, es una plataforma de aprendizaje en línea diseñada para ayudar a los profesionales de los medios de comunicación a aprovechar todo el potencial de sus soluciones de almacenamiento SNS. La academia ofrecerá cursos en vídeo a ritmo propio, que incluirán temas básicos como Introducción al almacenamiento compartido y Conceptos básicos de ShareBrowser, y en el futuro se ofrecerán cursos de formación más avanzados y certificaciones tanto para usuarios como para administradores de sistemas.

Los asistentes a NAB tienen ahora la oportunidad exclusiva de preinscribirse y ser de los primeros en acceder a la plataforma cuando se ponga en marcha.

In addition to the new online training experience, SNS continues to offer live training sessions with product and workflow specialists. These experts provide customized training tailored to your specific production environment and workflow.

Although SNS solutions are designed to be very intuitive and easy to use, SNS is committed to ensuring that customers never feel like they are alone. To do this, we offer a wide range of resources, including detailed documentation, a solid knowledge base, and the best technical support in the industry. The SNS Training Academy is yet another way we help our users get the most out of their EVO systems.

Review and approval

SNS is presenting an innovative workflow in Las Vegas cloud-based review and approval, designed to streamline external collaboration and improve efficiency. The launch date for this new external review and approval solution has not been announced.

With this new feature, users can send media files directly from ShareBrowser to any email address, whether the recipient is an EVO user, an external collaborator, or anyone else who needs to access the content. Recipients can view media files and provide feedback in a variety of ways, including comments, screen drawings, annotations, emojis, and more, all within an intuitive browser-based interface.

This cloud-based solution offers the flexibility to review projects from anywhere with an Internet connection, without the need for a VPN or access to the server. Only the sender needs authorized access to ShareBrowser; everyone else can access the file simply through a web link. Notably, SNS is seeking pilot customers for the new review and approval workflow.

AES-256 encryption

The latest version of EVO ships now with options AES-256 encryption for improved security of those who need it most. With support for encryption at rest and in flight, EVO employs the gold standard for data protection, including logical disk encryption, SMB signing, and SMB encryption.

Además, la última versión de ShareBrowser introduce marcadores específicos de código de tiempo to anotaciones precisas por fotograma. Los usuarios ahora pueden marcar puntos de entrada y salida para crear subclips, lo que facilita la adición de metadatos con capacidad de búsqueda a segmentos específicos de un clip en lugar de a todo el clip. Estos marcadores y subclips se importan a Adobe Premiere Pro y DaVinci Resolve, junto con sus medios y otros metadatos, cuando se utiliza el panel o la extensión ShareBrowser para estas aplicaciones de edición de vídeo.

The updated ShareBrowser v.7.1 panel for Adobe Premiere Pro is now available on Adobe Exchange. For the latest DaVinci Resolve workflow integration plugin that supports ShareBrowser markers and subclips, contact SNS Support.

On the other hand, Slingshot, EVO's integrated transcoder and automation engine, remains one of the most effective time-saving elements in EVO Suite. In addition to automatic transcoding, Slingshot lets you schedule recurring backup, sync, transfer, and replication tasks to a growing list of local, network, and cloud storage destinations. And yes, that list is growing again.

Storj and Ortana join existing SNS integrations with Amazon S3, Dropbox, Microsoft Azure, OneDrive, Box.com, Wasabi, Backblaze, Google Cloud Platform and SNS's own EVO Cloud, giving creative teams more flexibility in managing backup, sync, replication, data transfer and disaster recovery automations across a wide range of cloud and on-premises solutions.

EVO users can now replicate media to Storj, a globally distributed cloud storage platform designed for performance, security, efficiency and sustainability. Unlike traditional cloud providers, Storj reuses existing hardware across its network of more than 20,000 storage nodes in more than 100 countries around the world, reducing energy consumption, e-waste, and costs. Storj distributes encrypted file segments across a global network, ensuring high availability, privacy, and redundancy while eliminating single points of failure.

EVO se integra con Storj como destino de almacenamiento en la nube compatible con S3, lo que permite a los profesionales de los medios de comunicación automatizar las copias de seguridad, gestionar los trabajos de sincronización y replicación, y transferir datos a Storj bajo demanda o en un programa recurrente.

Por último, la integración entre EVO y la plataforma Cubix de Ortana Media Group aporta posibilidades avanzadas de organización a los flujos de trabajo creativos de los medios de comunicación. Aprovechando las API de EVO, Cubix puede automatizar y organizar tareas como el aprovisionamiento de almacenamiento en la nube, el archivo de archivos, la generación de secuencias de proyectos a partir de contenidos de bandejas, la sincronización de bandejas de ShareBrowser en múltiples ubicaciones, la migración de activos desde otros sistemas de almacenamiento, la integración con motores de IA/ML para el etiquetado enriquecido de metadatos, y mucho más. Las posibilidades son infinitas. Esta integración minimiza el esfuerzo manual, mejora la eficiencia y proporciona una mayor flexibilidad para la organización del flujo de trabajo en entornos de producción multimedia.

EVO also integrates with Ross Video Media I/O. For live and broadcast production workflows, the new integration between ShareBrowser MAM and Ross Video Media I/O offers a faster path from ingest to editing. With this integration, when Media I/O automatically generates proxy files during ingestion, you can make them available in ShareBrowser as soon as the process is complete, eliminating the need for additional transcoding or proxy rendering that could slow down your workflow. Powered by EVO's integrated API, included at no additional cost, this solution combines the media ingestion capabilities of Media I/O with EVO's Signature Series tools for Ross Video. It offers a time-saving solution designed to meet the fast-paced demands of broadcasting, sports and live entertainment.
