Avid MediaToolkit Program

What is AMT?

The Avid MediaToolkit is designed to greatly ease the process of creating and reading Avid OP-Atom media files and exchanging them with an Avid Interplay workgroup environment. The toolkit will be particularly useful to those third party developers looking for an alternative to Interplay Transfer for material ingest, for example as part of a file-based workflow. Similarly the toolkit could be used to access Avid media for other purposes, for example to bring material captured using Avid AirSpeed or similar into a graphics environment or to access consolidated sequences. An important factor that distinguishes AMT from other MXF and similar toolkits is that the media essence that will be stored in the clip does not need to be supplied in the target media format.

The Program

The API SDKs are made available pursuant to a Software Development Kit License Agreement from Avid and will typically include the relevant code, documentation, and a sample implementation. Licensing of the SDKs is subject to Avid's approval and discretion. Support contracts for the APIs are available and entitle the licensee to direct personal technical support from Avid engineering. Support contracts are highly recommended when licensing the Interplay SDKs to ensure the integration development is a technical success.

Avid Interplay APIs

Avid Interplay is an open platform that supports virtually any non-Avid application used in content creation, distribution, and management. Interplay supersedes Avid Unity Productivity Tools but uses the same suite of APIs to carry forward existing integrations, while encouraging new media, metadata, and command exchanges.
» The following APIs are currently available.

Third-Party Connectivity with Avid Unity Workgroups

Avid Interplay supports virtually any application likely to be used in media content creation, and media import, export, and interoperability is promoted through direct file support or integration with Avid Interplay APIs.
