LAS VEGAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Avid^®(NASDAQ: AVID)today announced Avid Interplay^® Pulse, a multi-platform content distribution solution. Pulse, representing another advancement of the Avid Everywhere vision, quickly delivers content to an ever-increasing variety of online, mobile, and social platforms everywhere, in the right form and format for each. In conjunction with Interplay Pulse, the Avid connected newsroom solution set enables news organizations of every size to combine story and video elements to deliver news as it happens, and distribute it to the devices consumers prefer.

“In today’s news industry, it’s all about getting breaking news first to air and distributing it to the devices consumers prefer,” said Chris Gahagan, senior vice president of Products and Services at Avid. “To do this, Avid ties all the back-end production workflows together and automates the entire distribution process, making it easier for news staffs to report more relevant, compelling stories.”

Mukul Krishna, global director of the Digital Media Practice at Frost & Sullivan, said, “Enabling a TV Everywhere experience is complex to say the least, especially as you try to integrate the content value chain from creation to multi-platform distribution. The challenge stems from trying to integrate different types of content, formats, and systems into a seamless and collaborative workflow – which can be expensive and time intensive. Avid Interplay Pulse helps overcome many of these traditional challenges by providing a platform that empowers journalists, producers, and other content stakeholders to publish directly to multiple platforms simultaneously. In doing so, it accelerates cycle time while gaining workflow efficiencies.”
