Czech Philharmonic Harmonizes UHD Production Workflows with EditShare EFS and FLOW
Powering multi-camera UHD capture and instant post-production with high-performance storage and intelligent media management
Boston, MA, 5 May 2026: EditShare®, a leader in collaborative media workflow solutions, today announced that the Czech Philharmonichas expanded its production ecosystem with EditShare EFS shared storage and FLOW media management to power its sophisticated UHD and HDR media workflows. The project, designed and implemented in collaboration with long-term regional partner DISK Systems, provides a high-performance foundation capable of managing up to eight concurrent UHD ISO camera feeds for the orchestra’s global broadcast and cinema releases.
Based in Prague’s historic Rudolfinum, the Czech Philharmonic has evolved into a high-end media house. To meet the technical rigors of 4K/UHD production, the Philharmonic required a stable infrastructure that could handle massive data throughput while bridging the gap between live recording and time-critical post-production.
High-Bandwidth Stability with EFS
Capturing a premier orchestra demands a fail-safe environment. The Philharmonic’s workflow involves recording eight simultaneous ISO camera feeds alongside high-track-count audio directly to EditShare EFS. The scale-out architecture of EFS provides the necessary bandwidth and reliability to ensure that no frames are dropped during mission-critical live recordings.
By layering EditShare FLOW over the storage, the Philharmonic has eliminated manual bottlenecks. FLOW serves as the “media intelligence” layer, allowing production teams to log and tag performances. This ensures that metadata, including specific movements, solos, or technical cues, is indexed and searchable the moment the recording is finalized, making the media immediately ready for the edit suite.
Confidence in Every Recording
“EditShare FLOW and EFS give us the reliability and control we need for UHD production with multiple ISO cameras,” said Dušan Bajtoš, CTO Studio Rudolfinum. “Working with DISK Systems and EditShare, we can focus on capturing world-class performances, knowing that our media is secure, organized, and immediately ready for post-production.”
“We are incredibly proud to support the Czech Philharmonic’s mission of bringing world-class music to a global audience,” added Christian Plitt, EditShare Regional Sales Director. “The technical demands of their UHD workflow are high, particularly in a live setting where reliability is everything. The combination of EFS for robust capture and FLOW for sophisticated media management ensures the Philharmonic can preserve this invaluable cultural heritage to the highest technical standard.”

Boston, MA –11 March 2026 – EditShare®, a leader in collaborative media workflow solutions, will demonstrate its latest advancements in AI-powered media operations and high-performance NVMe storage at the 2026 NAB Show (Booth N1251). The showcase will focus on how broadcasters, post facilities, and production teams can manage growing content volumes without increasing operational complexity.
EditShare’s approach centers on Analytical AI, technology that analyzes media to identify and structure information such as speech, faces, text, and scenes. Unlike generative AI systems that create new content, Analytical AI focuses on understanding existing media, automatically enriching files with metadata that makes video searchable and easier to find. Integrated across the EditShare platform and accelerated by high-bandwidth shared storage, these capabilities allow teams to quickly find the clips they need across their media libraries.
“At NAB 2026, we’re showing how analytical AI has moved from an interesting tool to a foundational part of the EditShare platform,” said Brad Turner, CEO of EditShare. “The real opportunity is the ability to analyze video at scale and make that intelligence usable across the entire workflow. Whether media lives on-premise with our FLOW asset manager or in the cloud with MediaSilo, teams can instantly search their libraries and find the moments they need.”
AI and Intelligent Workflows Across the Platform
EditShare One: The latest version of EditShare’s unified interface will be showcased at NAB, providing a streamlined operational view across storage, asset management, and AI-powered workflows..
FLOW AI: Within the FLOW platform, AI-generated metadata enables automation and management workflows to operate without manual tagging. FLOW AI transforms media libraries and archives into dynamic, discoverable assets. Instead of spending hundreds of man-hours on manual data entry, creative teams can reclaim their time for high-value production, confident that every frame is indexed and searchable the moment it enters the system.
MediaSilo AI: At NAB 2026, EditShare will also introduce new AI capabilities within MediaSilo, extending intelligence directly into review and collaboration workflows. MediaSilo AI helps teams locate moments of interest, navigate content faster, and streamline feedback cycles by making media immediately searchable and context-aware for stakeholders across the production process.
MediaSilo: Intelligent Review and Approval for Modern Production Teams
Alongside the new AI capabilities being introduced within MediaSilo, EditShare will also unveil new MediaSilo bundles: Teams, Pro, and Enterprise – providing scalable options for organizations of any size. These bundles bring together core collaboration capabilities including forensic watermarking, single sign-on (SSO), and unlimited AI, giving production teams access to advanced functionality without the pricing barriers traditionally associated with high-end review platforms.
MediaSilo also enables teams to collaborate with unlimited external stakeholders, making it easy to involve clients, partners, and reviewers throughout the production process.
Visitors to the booth will see how MediaSilo integrates with the FLOW asset management platform, allowing teams to move directly from ingest and media management into secure review and approval workflows.

In the current media landscape, “Video AI” has become a catch-all term that has lost its meaning. When a headline screams about AI, is it talking about generating a photorealistic cat from a text prompt, or is it talking about an algorithm that can index 500 hours of raw footage in minutes?
The distinction matters. For media organizations, lumping these together creates a “Chasm of Trust.” One category is creatively exciting but operationally risky; the other is the engine of the modern media supply chain.
To build a sustainable 2026 roadmap, we have to stop talking about AI as a monolith and start looking at the four distinct categories of the video AI landscape.
1. Generative AI: The High-Hype Creative Frontier
Intent: Create video from scratch.
The Job to be Done: “Make something that didn’t exist before.”
This is the AI of Runway, Pika, and OpenAI’s Sora. It’s text-to-video, requiring no real-world actors or original footage. While it’s arguably the most “flashy” category, it remains the most operationally risky for professional workflows. Issues regarding copyright, IP safety, and “hallucinations” mean that for now, adoption is high for ideation and pre-viz, but low for high-stakes production.
2. Editing-Assist AI: The Creative’s Power Tool
Intent: Enhance existing footage during the edit.
The Job to be Done: “Help me finish faster or fix a technical problem.”
This category lives inside the NLE (Adobe Premiere, DaVinci Resolve). It’s the “Generative Fill,” the background removal, and the audio cleanup tools that editors have rapidly adopted. Why? Because it lives inside familiar tools and doesn’t threaten the creative process—it simply removes the “drudgery” of manual fixes.
3. Selection & Rough-Cut AI: Finding the Story
Intent: Move from raw footage to an editable sequence.
The Job to be Done: “Help me find the best takes faster.”
This is a burgeoning category focused on automated selects and string-outs. For unscripted, social, and high-volume content, selection AI is a massive time-saver. However, editors remain cautious here; trust in “automated storytelling” is still being earned, and control remains the top priority.
4. Analytical & Operational AI: The Engine of ROI
Intent: Search, review, and manage content at scale.
The Job to be Done: “Operate my content business more efficiently.”
This is where EditShare lives. This isn’t about creating pixels; it’s about understanding them. It’s the layer of AI that sits within your Production Asset Management (PAM) and review systems to provide:
Automated transcription and facial/logo detection.
Media-specific accuracy tuned for high-security environments.
The ability to search a 100TB archive for a specific face and find it in under 10 seconds.
Analytical AI is where real adoption is happening because it offers a clear ROI. It removes friction from high-analysis jobs where AI actually makes business sense.
Crossing the Chasm
Crossing the AI chasm in media isn’t about replacing the editor; it’s about removing the “Search Tax” and the “Chaos Tax” that plague high-output teams. When AI is embedded directly into your storage, your PAM, and your review workflows, it ceases to be a “feature” and becomes an operational standard.
At EditShare, we are focused on the “Grown-Up” side of AI. The side that prioritizes security, predictability, and business value over flashy prompts.
See the Future of Operational AI at NAB 2026
We are heading to Las Vegas this April to showcase how we’ve embedded these analytical and operational AI layers directly into FLOW and MediaSilo. If you are ready to move past the hype and into a high-efficiency AI roadmap, we’d love to show you what we’ve built.

When you walk into George Blood LP’s facility in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania, it feels like stepping into both a high-tech lab and a living museum. Walls lined with equipment spanning decades of media history tell the story of a company that says “yes” to any preservation challenge. From rare audio formats to 4K film, George Blood LP has built a reputation for solving problems others can’t.
That relentless approach has fueled rapid growth. What started as an audio preservation shop has expanded into large-scale film and video digitization, serving clients as varied as national broadcasters, universities, cultural foundations, and the Library of Congress. Over the last decade, workloads have multiplied several times over, pushing the company’s infrastructure to its limits.
At a glance
Customer: George Blood LP (Fort Washington, PA)
Industry: Media preservation and digitization (audio, video, film, data)
Challenge: Legacy SAN could not sustain increasing throughput demands, leading to dropped frames, daily bottlenecks, and end-of-life hardware.
Solution: Deployment of EditShare Ultimate NVMe storage nodes
Results:
Daily ingest capacity increased to 30–50 TB, including 2K and 4K film scans
16 GB/s sustained writes achieved in stress testing
No bottlenecks across ingest, rendering, or delivery workflows
Enabled growth without sacrificing high-fidelity restoration quality
Hitting the Wall with Legacy Storage
For years, George Blood LP relied on a 300TB spinning disk SAN connected via a mix of fiber and SMB protocols. As demand grew, throughput requirements ballooned from 8–10 terabytes a day to as much as 50. Multiple film scanners, video ingest rooms, rendering, QC, and delivery workflows all competed for bandwidth. The result: dropped frames, bottlenecks, and engineers fighting the system instead of focusing on the work.
“Our existing storage just couldn’t sustain what we were asking of it,” recalled Jared Gibson, Video Team Lead at George Blood LP. “We needed speed, stability, and capacity to keep growing.”
A Partner-Led Search for a New Backbone
Working with Key Code Media, a nationwide systems integrator which has supported George Blood for many years. George Blood LP evaluated multiple storage vendors. Sustained high-speed ingest, heavy simultaneous reads/writes, and reliability across dozens of connected clients were non-negotiable.
Key Code Media recommended EditShare, and testing quickly proved it was the right fit. Verified by LaserGraphics as the only storage capable of handling its scanners’ performance requirements, EditShare provided the reliability and throughput George Blood LP needed.
Performance That Changed Everything
From the moment the EditShare Ultimate NVMe nodes went live, the results were clear. “We pushed the system as hard as we could, and we couldn’t break it,” said Gibson. “In stress tests we sustained 16 gigabytes per second in writes, well above our expectations. With our previous SAN, we were constantly dropping frames and struggling to keep up. With EditShare, the bottlenecks are gone.”
The system now supports massive daily ingest across multiple 2K and 4K film scanners, high-volume video rooms, rendering, QC, and delivery processes, all without faltering. Stress tests with more than 80 clients confirmed stability far beyond normal workloads, providing headroom for years of continued growth.
Enabling Growth Without Compromise
The performance leap has unlocked a new level of capability. George Blood LP can now sustain high-volume digitization while maintaining the precision restoration quality that made their name. “I’m just so enamored by the performance of the storage,” said Jared Gibson. “It’s brought so much relief to the team, our growth and our hardware are now in sync and that changes everything.”
George Blood’s unique market position combines the ability to handle bulk digitization with the high fidelity expected of specialist restoration houses. “We can take on a semi-truck of media and still deliver at the highest quality,” said George Blood, President of George Blood LP. “We’re proud to combine scale with the care these collections deserve, and EditShare has given us the infrastructure we needed to meet the demand.”

With more than 100 third-party integrations via MOS protocol and APIs, Octopus enables real-time script editing, rundown management, and publishing to broadcast, digital, and social channels. Its open approach ensures compatibility with studio automation, playout, graphics, and AI-driven tools, giving journalists the flexibility to focus on storytelling.
EditShare complements this with robust media infrastructure, including:
EFS Shared Storage is a media-engineered file system delivering more than 20GB/s throughput and scaling beyond 20PB. High-availability configurations and native drivers for Adobe Premiere Pro, Avid Media Composer, and DaVinci Resolve ensure uninterrupted collaboration for editing teams.
FLOW Media Asset Management automates ingest, proxy creation, versioning, and AI-driven metadata tagging. Integrated with Octopus, FLOW accelerates content search and retrieval, giving journalists immediate access to assets during breaking news.
Multi-Channel Ingest captures satellite, field, and agency feeds for instant use in scripting, editing, and playout.
Vbox Rundown Integration connects directly with Octopus via MOS, allowing producers and directors to manage rundowns, preview assets, and adapt live output in real time.
Together, the two systems create a connected newsroom environment that allows teams to gather, edit, and deliver content faster, with confidence and flexibility at every stage.

The joint solution addresses key challenges facing today’s news operations:
Speed: Multi-channel ingest, NVMe-powered storage, and FLOW automation provide instant access to high-resolution assets, cutting prep time for editing and publishing.
Collaboration: Journalists, editors, producers, and directors can work in parallel across locations, supported by native integrations between Octopus and FLOW, enabling instant asset access and synchronized rundowns.
