Deploying Edge AI Video Analytics to M&E Production and Asset Management Workflows

The media and entertainment (M&E) industry faces significant challenges with exponentially growing media volumes and requirements to meet aggressive production timelines and budgets. Media production houses are turning to the power of AI for help, but are restricted by existing centralized compute and storage infrastructure. Moving large amounts of media to different locations for AI processing is slow, expensive, and presents security issues. Quantum will present a new approach for a faster and more efficient media production workflow by bringing AI-driven media enrichment and video analytics functionality closer to the media source. We'll showcase real-life production workflows supported by Quantum's CatDV Media Asset Management system, NVIDIA's DeepStream 6.0 AI-powered video analytics technology, and the StorNext File System. This solution brings extensive real-time automatic image and video annotation, object detection, voice transcription, and other AI-driven functions to the creator's fingertips.
