Avid has extended its agreement with long-time customer and global media conglomerate Al Jazeera Media Network, AJMN, with a deal that will transition the network’s production operation towards a cloud-based subscription service, together with multi-site collaboration and remote production. Al Jazeera selected Avid to completely upgrade and expand its news and programming creation workflows and connect teams distributed across its regional hubs – in Qatar, London, and Washington, DC – and its global network of news bureaus and other sites. The new multi-year comprehensive agreement will convert Al Jazeera onto an Avid MediaCentral Flex subscription model, giving them access to the latest platform tools and Avid NEXIS storage. It will also include a transition path in the near future from its existing hardware servers onto Avid’s next-generation software-based and cloud-enabled media ingest and playout platform, Avid Stream IO.
