XTRMX provides a gateway into the Avid system so the reviewer can both see and comment on material as well as edit media, whether they are in the next edit bay over or halfway around the world.”
XTRMX software should be a value in the Avid’s online store or through the company’s sales network early next year, Mr. Ram said.
Avid executive Ed Caracappa said that the collaboration with XTRMX will accelerate the video editing workflow.
“The solution offered by XTRMX delivers on the need to manipulate and review media wherever it is, simultaneously and instantly,” he added.
