Argentina. Avid will present an unprecedented rollout of important new products at the next edition of the Caper fair in Buenos Aires, Argentina, focused on a globally connected platform and cloud infrastructure that opens the doors to a new world of performance and profitability.
To accomplish this, Avid has expanded its product range with a new production suite for MediaCentral that enhances the user experience, a new family of 4K/IP video servers, and the extended maestro graphics family. This among other announcements that include new cloud-based solutions, tools and services.
"At Caper, Avid is delivering on its promise of cloud solutions, which was made just six months ago at the 2017 Avid Connect Convention to help our customers and the industry at large more efficiently manage their content and enable new levels of creativity and flexibility to reach," said the Sales Director for Latin America.
