New installations in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt and Turkey increase the presence of EditShare open solutions in the region
Boston, MA – May 18, 2022 – EditShare®, the leading supplier of creative and collaborative media workflows for storytellers, continues to deliver powerful solutions for major projects in the Middle East. The company is proud to have been involved in an installation at Expo 2020 Dubai, which won the prestigious “Innovative Project of the Year” trophy at the 2021 Broadcast Pro awards, and has also delivered solutions to customers in Saudi Arabia and Sharjah.
EditShare has provided its broadcast media storage and workflow tools to one of the largest smart cities in Saudi Arabia. And in Sharjah, the Government Media Bureau has also invested to support its production of a broad range of video content and delivery over multiple platforms.
Each system sees EditShare FLOW media management and EFS storage solutions providing streamlined editorial workflows. With its completely open approach, the EditShare video content management system allows each user to support a mix of Adobe® Premiere® Pro, Avid Media Composer, DaVinci Resolve and other professional post production tools seamlessly within tailored workflows.
EditShare worked in conjunction with its local distributors including, among others United Broadcast & Media Solutions (UBMS) to design, install and support these two applications and their customers.
Rayan Nasser, Sales Director at UBMS said, “Our customer, the largest smart city in Saudi Arabia, has some of the most advanced media operations in the Middle East, attracting and hosting world-class content creators and distributors. “EditShare’s ability to integrate key editorial tools removes the bottlenecks of proprietary systems, enabling us to offer clients the full range of post-production services using their preferred creative tools, while giving them the reassurance of outstanding support from us as an EditShare partner.”
Said Bacho, EditShare’s Chief Revenue Officer, comments, “With a Dubai-based regional team in place, EditShare has established itself as a trusted vendor in the Middle East whose innovations have provided customers with a wide range of possibilities for integration with the editorial tools and production systems they want to use.
“Media companies demand multi-vendor workflows that can be tailored to their specific production needs,” adds Bacho. “What is so attractive to our users is that we absorb the complex technical demands, eliminating bottlenecks and ensuring that the creative teams enjoy a seamless, intuitive experience – leaving them free to concentrate on making great content.”

Flexible, cloud-enabled workflows, project synchronization with NLEs, LUT and RAW support, live capture and more
Boston, MA – May 10, 2022 – EditShare®, the technology leader that enables storytellers to create and manage collaborative media workflows, will showcase its strong commitment to the Middle East region at CABSAT 2022 (17 – 19 May, Dubai World Trade Centre, stand C6-31), introducing its new FLEX cloud solutions. This suite of powerful media asset management and storage software solutions provides a straightforward way for businesses, large and small, to take full advantage of cloud services and workflows.
FLEX reflects the powerful business trends in post today, including the migration to a “work anywhere” environment, with ready access to content wherever the creative staff need to be. In adopting cloud storage and processing, it also meets the move towards an OpEx financial model, with the cloud hosting and storage fees flexing to reflect the level of business.
Michele Dwayk and Amjad Baidas, the latest recruits to EditShare’s team in the region, will be on the booth to showcase the new technology enhancements.
“The Middle East is a very strategic territory to EditShare, and we continue to work with many of the big players in the region,” comments Said Bacho, Chief Revenue Officer at EditShare. “We know how important strong relationships are in this community, which is why we have carefully recruited very well-known and respected talent like Michele and Amjad to work with our customers and channel partners here.”In its simplest form, FLEX Cloud Edit provides media asset management, high performance software-defined storage, and virtual workstations in the AWS cloud.
CABSAT will be the perfect opportunity to see the latest developments following their launch at NAB 2022. These are all aimed at simplifying the creative experience while providing even greater content security and availability.
A great example of workflow streamlining is the enhanced project synchronization with NLEs, including Media Composer, Adobe® Premiere® Pro and DaVinci Resolve. This allows complex projects to be readily moved between EditShare FLOW media management and the NLE environment.
Also added to FLOW is the ability to support the latest RAW format updates for RED and Blackmagic Design camera systems, and impose LUTs in real time, both on full resolution material and on proxies.
FLOW can now also ingest NDI contribution feeds and immediately present them for editing, ideal for news and sports fast turnaround editing. To make the workflows as slick as possible, EditShare has been collaborating with MoovIT on its Helmut 4 orchestration platform, and will demonstrate how they work together to make Adobe and EditShare the perfect environment for high pressure operations.
Content security and availability is vital to professional users, and EditShare is adding new hardware and software in this area. The EFS 60NL is a new device, aimed at nearline storage, and providing 60 drive bays in 4U of rack space. Within the EditShare environment, nearline storage is ideal for content which is needed but not being immediately worked on, ready to be transferred to the online servers with virtually no delay.
Adding to the security and sharing concept, EFS Multi-Site allows users with multiple locations to leverage built-in file acceleration to synchronize project storage between EFS clusters in different facilities. This ensures that users have ready access to content, wherever they choose to work. Cloud Sync extends the capabilities of Multi-Site to cloud storage, providing added flexibility in access as well as security in archiving.
“This year’s participation at CABSAT marks a first for EditShare by exhibiting at our own booth with a regional team on board,” added Bacho. “It will be great to show our users and channel partners in the Middle East all the exciting new innovations we have been working on, and discuss how we can transform story-telling.”

In one of the largest contracts awarded of its kind, Digistor has won the nationwide post production upgrade for one of Australia’s major national broadcasters. The upgrade encompasses existing post-production facilities and the broadcaster’s editing platform, with Digistor providing and installing a hybrid on-premise and cloud solution with remote editing capability and automated speech to text. The new upgraded solution also includes a powerful production asset management (PAM) layer to organise and automate production workflows.
Digistor’s new solution not only replaces a legacy system, but also brings significant workflow improvements and efficiencies whilst leveraging the cloud to enable remote workers and teams to seamlessly collaborate, regardless of their location.
The new upgrade and solution includes many of the key technologies that Digistor specialises in, including EditShare storage, both EFS on-prem and EditShare FLEX cloud solutions (previously known as EFSv). There’s also comprehensive FLOW media management tools, AirFLOW media sharing, FLOW NLE integrations for remote editorial and FLOW Automation to orchestrate workflows. Alongside and integrated with these are HelmutFX to manage multi-user Adobe® Premiere® Pro projects and production workflows, and Audimus AI-based automated transcription.
All new hardware and software will be tightly and seamlessly integrated with the broadcaster’s existing networking and server environment by Digistor’s team, and the cloud components of the system will be hosted by AWS.
In addition to providing, installing and commissioning the new hardware and software components, Digistor engineers will work closely with EditShare to provide a range of services during the implementation. These include workflow discovery to understand, redesign and define workflows to improve productivity, a detailed design phase, project management, and full implementation.
Digistor will also provide the broadcaster with comprehensive staff training services including, superuser training, train-the-trainer and administrator training. When the training has been completed, the new system will then be supported by Digistor’s premium and highly-acclaimed Customer Assurance Plan.
This new and major contract comes after many years of Digistor having long and successful associations with all of Australia’s major broadcasters, where they supply and support solutions for editing, graphics, live broadcast, storage, asset management, playout and distribution – often leveraging the cloud and remote workflows.
A key, important and common aspect in all of these solutions are the technical services that Digistor provides to ensure all projects are successfully implemented and supported over the life of the solution.
In more EditShare-based news, Digistor has also recently designed, installed and rolled-out a multi-petabyte solution in Sydney for a global religious organisation, providing them with the significant benefits and expertise that come with all of Digistor’s large-scale deployments.

EditShare is committed to the idea that post production creatives should use the tools that best suit them and their work and FLEX reflects this by offering turnkey bundles that allow customers to get started quickly, with a known configuration and pricing profile.
In its simplest form, FLEX Cloud Edit provides media asset management, high performance software-defined post production storage, and virtual workstations in the AWS cloud.
The FLEX Cloud Edit+ bundle adds accelerated file transfer capabilities and comprehensive workstation management.

“The UK is, of course, a global powerhouse in broadcast and post-production, so we are excited to have a presence at the London show,” added Tallamy. “We are looking forward to showing our latest developments for the first time on this side of the Atlantic, and sharing our knowledge with the local media tech community.”

2021 turnover shows 24% increase fuelled by remote production, hybrid and cloud-based workflows
Boston, MA – March 15, 2022– EditShare®, the technology leader that enables storytellers to create and manage collaborative media workflows, has bucked market trends by continuing its remarkable growth in sales and global presence. 2021 was a record year for the company, with a 24% increase in sales over 2020.
“What is most satisfying, is that while we have won big projects from some of the largest media and entertainment companies, enterprises and houses of worship, we have seen success come from all corners of the world,” states EditShare’s Chief Revenue Officer, Said Bacho.
Alongside GBH and Unity 3D in the US, EditShare has worked on projects for Zee News in India and TV5 in The Philippines, as well as some of the leading production and post houses like Soul Movie in Rome and Director’s Cut in London. These installations, combined with some impressive projects in the Middle East including, Saudi Arabia’s NEOM futuristic city, Expo2020 Dubai showcase and the Iraqi Parliament, have cemented EditShare’s upwards trajectory.
EditShare’s continued success is derived from its open architecture that enables its customers to scale their business and media platforms on-prem, in a hybrid configuration or in the cloud

EditShare versatility supports the university’s esteemed science studies
Boston, MA – March 1, 2022– EditShare®, the technology leader that enables storytellers to create and manage collaborative media workflows, today announced that Hong Kong Metropolitan University has expanded its investment in EditShare, installing FLOW media management and EFS shared storage as the core content platform for its Nursing Simulation program.
EditShare’s integration with the program’s SimCapture, which is used to record and assess student performance, provides a centralized repository and archive that educators can easily access, share learning outcomes and proof of performance. The innovative workflow was designed and deployed by EditShare Channel Partner Viewcon.
“Video is one of the core components of our high-quality training and education. It helps us track trends, improve learning and document methods and time spent on practical training,” said Wilson Yau, AV Technology Manager (ALTO), Hong Kong Metropolitan University.
Prior to the installation of EditShare, Hong Kong Metropolitan University stored the files on standard storage, using Windows Explorer to search and locate videos. Yau continued, “For audits and official records, our university keeps its videos for seven years which equate to hundreds of thousands of video files. EditShare worked well in our AV Production Studio and we knew it would automate many of the manual processes that come with storing and sharing video at this scale.”
The innovative workflow features EFS tiered storage with integrated production, nearline and archive capabilities. FLOW serves as the control layer, automatically migrating video content, including simulation records, from the SimCapture to EFS. Metadata is automatically added to the video and includes key information such as teacher, student, session and other notes. Staff can log into the web-based FLOW dashboard, search videos on a number of angles, add further notes, share, and playback practical sessions.
Yau explained, “Prior to EditShare, staff would manually put all this information into the file and then drag and drop it into the storage. There are roughly 140 files recorded per day so this task was incredibly time-consuming, tedious and prone to human error. EditShare was able to build a custom workflow that automated all of the manual tasks, ensuring these were accurately documented and available for viewing moments after they were made.”
EditShare’s Chief Revenue Officer, Said Bacho comments, “EditShare has deep expertise in the education market. Our systems are used by educational institutions all over the world which speaks volumes of its agility to adapt to specialized environments like Hong Kong Metropolitan University’s Nursing Simulation program.”
