DAM, MAM Specialists Get the (Virtual) NAB Spotlight April 15-16

At this month’s NAB Show, Signiant was ready to show off the latest with its Media Shuttle product, touting how the service is a perfect digital asset management (DAM) companion. New asset management solutions from Sony, covering on-prem, the cloud and hybrid alike, were set to be heavily featured at its booth.

A showcase of Sohonet’s ClearView Flex and newly launched ClearView Pivot real-time remote collaboration tools. Prime Focus Technologies’ CLEAR collaboration suite, presented in all its glory. NAB Show media management mainstays were primed and ready to roll, before the COVID-19 pandemic put the conference on hold.

But while there will be no Las Vegas Convention Center for DAM and media asset management (MAM) specialists this month, the show will still go on: the Media & Entertainment Services Alliance (MESA) will host its seventh annual Take the DAM(n) Tour events April 15-16, this time as live e-tours, instead of as the guided NAB Show floor tours that had been held for six years running.

“This year’s tour will be exciting, not only because it’s virtual, but also because the content technology companies on the tour will be providing real-world examples of how it’s possible to work remotely — efficiently and effectively,” said with Mary Yurkovic, director of Smart Content for MESA. “They will also be highlighting many new features that would have been showcased at NAB, but with an added remote-work theme.”

Running from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. PT, each day will see companies provide 15-minute presentations around their DAM and MAM offerings, with Yurkovic guiding pre-registered attendees through a review of each company’s capabilities. Along with the ability to discuss challenges and current trends in the asset management space, tour participants will have their questions answered by leading experts, and will hear how the technologies complement overall content strategies.

April 15 will see the following companies presenting during day one of the online TTDT.

Only those who pre-register will be able to attend and access the presentations immediately following the e-tour.
