Boston, MA — February 16, 2012 — EditShare®, the technology leader in shared media storage and end-to-end tapeless workflow solutions, today announced that the company’s collaborative storage products – XStream, Energy and Metro – now provide complete compatibility with Avid® Technology's new 64-bit systems, Media Composer® and Symphony™ v6.0 as well as NewsCutter® v10.0. “The big news here is ‘project and media sharing,’” says Andy Liebman, founder and CEO, EditShare. “With Avid's switch to 64-bit back in November, we had to modify our bin-locking and media-sharing code to be compatible with the new Avid software. Our work is now done, and as of today, EditShare's Mac and Windows customers can get the same robust project and media-sharing options we have always provided for Avid's 32-bit versions. Every aspect of EditShare's tapeless workflow technology is now totally compatible with the latest Avid software. Customers can use our multichannel ingest, networked storage, media asset management, and backup and archiving products with complete confidence that they will work seamlessly with virtually any Avid NLE version.”
The EditShare shared storage V6.1.3 update is free to existing EditShare V6.x customers with a valid maintenance contract.
