eMAM extends the reach of Adobe Anywhere to non-editors with support for ingest and archive.

Empress is showcasing the integrated solution at NAB 2014

New York, NY-April 7, 2014 - Empress  Media Asset Management, LLC, a media asset management and workflow management solutions company, will be showcasing the integration of its flagship eMAM™ system with Adobe® Anywhere for video at the National Association of Broadcasters show in Las Vegas, Nevada from April 7-10 at Booth SL12710.

Anywhere is a revolutionary system for simultaneous collaboration among editors and creative professionals worldwide using native resolution content over standard internet connections through Adobe Premiere Pro CC, Prelude CC, and After Effects CC systems.   The Adobe Collaboration Hub synchronizes shared productions from a high-performance centralized storage, while the Adobe Mercury Streaming Engine provides dynamically adjusted streams of the shared productions, allowing use of the familiar Creative Cloud tools from any location.

eMAM is a web-accessible system that can manage ingest into the centralized storage.   With full media asset management features, eMAM can repurpose content in other storage systems or locations, in the cloud, or offline for a current production.   It can also directly manage the archive process for completed productions, freeing up costlier central storage, and permanently securing them in an accessible, more cost-effective archive for later reuse.

eMAM has an intuitive graphical interface, so non-editors can create Anywhere productions or collaborate in the process, including email based review and approvals.   "We are excited to extend our Adobe Premiere Pro CC integration to support Anywhere collaborative editing worldwide involving creative editors and non-editors alike in order to integrate dispersed storage, workflows, and people," said David Miller, Empress COO.
