Work from anywhere

Producers, loggers, and assistants can work intuitively with any type of media, instantly delivered as proxies over common Internet connections. Interplay Sphere adds full bi-directional workflow for editors on location or wherever the story is happening.

Create your own solution

Link with web content management systems, manage ingest, orchestrate web and mobile distribution, or create any workflow you can imagine with optional Interplay Pulse integrations, included Web Services APIs and the expertise of Avid Services.

Access local or remote media

Eliminate guesswork and dramatically save time by directly searching media in local and remote sites, then dragging and dropping selected in/out points to the timeline as the full res version is automatically transferred in the target format.

Use less storage

Tracking of all media eliminates duplication and makes regular, safe deletion of unneeded media a quick and simple task. Workflow-connected near-line and archive storage expands media reuse and lowers average cost per used TB.

Unleash the power of collaboration and simplify production

The included Interplay Central toolset provides focused tools for journalists, producers, assistants, loggers, reviewers, media managers and administrators. Much more work gets done ahead of the editor with web-based tools that are usable anywhere to search, browse, do multi-camera logging, basic editing, review and approval, build complete news packages, and more while non-creative tasks are handled in the background.
