Avid NEXIS F-Series: The Modern Standard for Post Production Storage
If you’re already working with Avid NEXIS E-Series, you know the value of reliable, collaborative storage. But as workflows evolve to become more distributed, hybrid, and cloud-connected, your storage needs to evolve too.
If you’re a long-time Media Composer or Avid creative tools customer without NEXIS storage, the same challenges apply. Local or ad-hoc storage setups make collaboration harder, introduce duplication, and limit your ability to scale with confidence.
That’s where Avid NEXIS F-Series comes in.
Avid NEXIS F-Series is the modern standard for media storage, built for today’s demanding workflows and tomorrow’s hybrid-cloud environments:
- Built for today, ready for tomorrow — scalable performance for HD, 4K, 8K, and beyond
- Expand without disruption — add F-Series alongside your existing E-Series with ease
- Confidence for the future — a storage platform aligned with Avid’s cloud roadmap
- Remote included, no extra cost — collaborate in real time from anywhere with Avid NEXIS | Remote (coming soon in 2026)
More Power, Same Simplicity
The Avid NEXIS F-Series delivers a major leap forward in performance. Engineered for high-bandwidth media workflows, it supports even the most demanding formats—HD, 4K, 8K, and beyond.
But it’s not just about raw speed. The F-Series delivers smarter scalability. Start small and expand as needed, thanks to its modular architecture and flexible upgrade paths. Protect your E-Series investment while modernizing your workflows.
Avid NEXIS | Virtual File System (VFS): The Virtual Backbone
At the heart of the F-Series is Avid NEXIS | VFS, the software layer that powers smarter collaboration and control. With VFS, you can:
- Virtualize workspaces to simplify project sharing
- Enable secure access from anywhere
- Streamline collaboration across multiple locations
- Maintain consistent performance at scale, supporting hundreds of editors in real time without dropping a frame
Edit Without Borders
Avid NEXIS | Remote will soon be included with every F-Series system. It will enable editors to work with high-resolution media in real time from anywhere by caching locally while keeping the single source of truth on NEXIS.
- Feels like on-prem editing—even across high-latency links
- Smooth first play & scrubbing with intelligent caching
- Works with Media Composer, Adobe Premiere Pro, and many more creative tools in your pipeline
- No proxies, no duplicates, no workflow changes
- Included at no extra cost with F-Series and Cloud NEXIS
Post production Audio Workflows
Beyond editorial and video post, Avid NEXIS F-Series is also powering professional audio workflows. From multi-track dialogue and effects to high-end mixing for streaming and theatrical, F-Series delivers the low-latency performance and bandwidth audio teams need to work collaboratively and confidently.
Subscription Flexibility and Licensing Freedom
With FLEX subscriptions and modular licensing, you gain more control over your investment. Scale up or down based on project demands, spread-out costs more predictably, and access the latest updates and features without major reinvestment.
