About MediaCentral | UX
MediaCentral UX delivers workflow tools for media professionals through both Web and mobile
applications. With a customizable user interface, MediaCentral UX allows individuals in different
media production functions to access the tools they need to complete tasks with greater visibility to
assets, team collaboration, and workflow agility. Through MediaCentral UX, users can access Avid
iNEWS, Interplay Production, Interplay MAM, or all three.
Avid iNEWS
The Avid iNEWS newsroom computer system provides journalists, producers, directors, and various
technical personnel in the newsroom with an array of tools to make their job easier. It is primarily
made up of iNEWS Workstations, linked together via a local or wide area network, and the iNEWS
Server, which manages all the day-to-day activities of the newsroom.
n
Although referred to as a singular unit, the iNEWS Server typically consists of two or more
computers running the iNEWS Server software. Each one acts as a backup for the other to protect the
overall stability of the network. For redundancy, the iNEWS system mirrors its database across these
servers for redundancy.
Interplay | Production
The Avid Interplay Production system combines an asset database with workflow management
software, both of which are integrated with Avid shared storage and Avid archive solutions. Interplay
Production provides tools that let journalists and producers add rich media to stories and send the
assembled video sequence to a playout server.
Interplay | MAM
The Avid Interplay MAM system helps to archive and manage media in a shared storage
environment. It integrates production islands, facilitates and streamlines workflows, and grants
access to media assets and associated metadata from any workstation. Interplay MAM provides tools
