Avid displays media production tools,
new VENUE S6L
Avid is showcasing its latest inno-
vative tools, apps, services and
solutions for creative and aspiring
professionals, production teams
and media enterprises across news,
sports, live production and post
production at booth 4T3-01 in
Suntec Singapore.
One of the highlights is the
recently launched Avid VENUE S6L
unified platform, which is making
its debut in South-east Asia. The
VENUE S6L is the newest member of
Avid’s family of live sound systems,
with three new control surfaces, a
new engine, and two new I/O racks
— all on a unified platform.
Modular, scalable and flexi-
ble, the VENUE S6L promises to
meet any size production, space
or budget requirement. According
to Avid, this new offering is “the
industry’s only live sound platform
with 100% software, hardware, and
show file compatibility across all
system components”.
Another star exhibit at the Avid
booth is the NEXIS intelligent stor-
age platform consisting of the NEXIS
| E2 and E4.
Kevin Usher, Avid’s director of
Global Presales, Storage and Archive
Solutions, tells Show News that the
NEXIS system is a software-defined
storage platform, specifically created
for storing and managing media.
Launched in 2016, the NEXIS
system is now being utilised by a
number of Avid customers in the
region.
The storage platform’s capa-
bilities include being able to fully
virtualise storage, so media organ-
isations can adjust storage capacity
mid-project, without disrupting
workflows. It delivers good media
storage flexibility, scalability and
control for both Avid-based and
third-party workflows.
Designed to serve the smallest
production teams as “powerfully as
the largest media enterprises”, the
NEXIS is reputedly a versatile storage
platform built with the flexibility to
grow with customers at every stage
of their business.
Avid’s Kevin Usher is happy to show visitors the versatility of NEXIS’ archive and storage
capabilities.
