Entertaining the World at NAB - Lets Make it HappenThe NAB Show Centennial is here! The show is as influential as ever, but media workflows have changed beyond all recognition during its lifespan. NAB Show 2023 promises to be a portal into audio and video trends and next-generation technology, as well as a place for new products to be discovered. With a growing number of assets being produced and managed by media organisations, we need to keep innovating to redefine the future of content creation and distribution.
However, a surprising number of media companies are still working with outdated methods. Some havent leveraged the opportunities that cloud-based workflows, automation, and metadata can offer. In 2023 no-one should be managing their media with spreadsheets or discussing content edits in a disjointed email chain. Its time to incorporate seamless solutions into your workflows, to manage and process large volumes of content more effectively.
Lets look at 5 ways to empower media teams with workflow applications that not only save companies time and money, but also ensure that content operators and editors enjoy their day.
1. Deliver with confidence
Designed specifically for collaborative, professional media workflows, Accurate.Video enables media organisations to intuitively respond to the demands of high-volume content operations with time-based metadata.
Edit, validate, and enrich your media with predefined, yet configurable, workspaces that focus on a specific use-case. Whether you need to optimise your validation, editing, audio, or ad-break workflows, Accurate.Video automates labour-intensive media processing including essential edit segmentation, versioning, QC, compliance, and localisation.
Accurate.Video was created to fit in with content teams and designed to respond to the demands of high-volume content operations. The cloud-native suite of solutions streamlines content preparation for broadcast and post-production media professionals and integrates with any video platform, application, or MAM.
2. Manage content at scale
Cantemo is a highly customisable, flexible, and scalable MAM software, accessible to users through a standard web browser. Cantemo integrates with post-production workflows, with powerful time-based metadata for frame accurate logging, search and media playback.

Cantemo offers a huge choice of solutions to maximise media workflows. Work on your own in-house custom development or use the Codemill REST APIs to easily connect with your favourite NLE or cloud based post-production workflow tools.

5. Create Superior User Experiences
The best customer journeys begin with great design, but no design makes sense without purpose. At Codemill, we help our customers understand their users and support them to deliver the right tools and solutions. In any programme or application creation, the user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) are vital when building a user-centric platform. UX and UI go hand in hand - you cant deliver a great UX without an aesthetically pleasing and purposeful UI.
