Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced today that it plans to unveil what it calls the “Cloud Native Agile Production (CNAP)” project, an open-source initiative aimed at accelerating the creation and delivery of media during live production. Developed in collaboration with BBC’s research and development (R&D) team, Sky, and AWS Partners, including Adobe and CuttingRoom, CNAP debuts as more news, sports, and entertainment productions look to develop ancillary content for live programming. CNAP’s interoperable framework provides a single virtual store for live content, making it easier to migrate production to the cloud so that creators can work with their preferred toolsets to rapidly create video highlights clips and packages for integration into live content, social sharing, and other applications, AWS said.
AWS will spotlight an end-to-end CNAP workflow at IBC on its Stand (5.C90). The demonstration includes partner technologies from Adobe, CuttingRoom, Drastic Technologies, Techex, and Vizrt, which collectively support essential fast-turnaround media workflows demands spanning low-latency video ingest through to playout, file import/export, and web-based and craft editing. The project will be highlighted at the live panel, “Reinventing fast-turnaround news and sports workflows for the cloud,” in the Innovation Village on Sunday, September 15 at 11:15 AM.
