Can the Latest Storage Technology Still Price Competitivly?
Exavio won an NAB 2005 Pick Hit award from Millimeter for its ExaMax 9000 Network Platform.

Zavada says, “I like Exavio’s system since it can guarantee realtime 4K playback, something that’s important to us."

Focus Enhancements' ProxSys Media Server debuted at the show in the G-SAM Digital Asset Management Pavilion at NAB. The ProxSys suite will offer a "complete solution" for video and broadcast pros from acquisition and editing to media management, completely accessible via a common web browser.

Watch Out for Onstream Media's ASP
An ASP—application service provider—is a company that offers individuals or enterprises access over the Internet to application programs and related services that would otherwise have to be located in their own personal or enterprise computers.
At NAB, Onstream Media announced that it would integrate North Plains' TeleScope Application Platform into its ASP-based digital asset management services platform. This will enable users to encode, log, index, store, collaborate, transcode, retrieve, and distribute rich media libraries of nearly unlimited size via an IP-based global network.
