This year, our team headed down to NAB in Las Vegas with some of the biggest updates to Grabyo to date. From implementing AI to our live clipping service to a wealth of live broadcasting updates, our booth was busier than ever, filled with productive conversations about the future of video production.

There’s lots to cover so let’s dive in!

Live production in the cloud: The future is now

Hear from Gareth Capon, Grabyo CEO, on the headline updates to our cloud-native live production platform, Grabyo Producer:

Within Grabyo Producer, we debuted multi-track audio output within our browser-based mixing console, extending our support for delivering multi-language feeds, international broadcasts and alternate live streams. When managing your audio feeds, you can also now apply compression to create consistent broadcast-quality mixes. You can read more about that here.

We also added a number of updates that further our interoperability with traditional broadcast systems, including SCTE-35 and SMPTE-2308 passthrough – you can now closely control how SCTE-35 markers are passed through Producer to trigger ad breaks down stream (you can also insert SCTE-35 and YouTube RTMP markers).

We were also excited to release a flexible tally solution for managing multi-camera productions. Our tally system works using mobile devices that act as tally lights. It’s super simple to set up and use. 

Your camera operators just need a mobile device with an internet connection – a smartphone, tablet, even a laptop. Your production crew then sends a URL link to that device which is linked to a specific camera within your control room. When the link is accessed, it will fill the device’s screen with a blank, green or red display to indicate whether the camera is idle, in preview or live in program.

AI-powered, human-centered highlights creation

Hear from Gareth and Magnifi CRO, Meghna Krishna, on our new automated highlights solution:

We announced this strategic partnership at IBC 2023 and are now bringing this joint solution to market following the product integration. The solution aims to address the existing challenges with traditional automated highlights workflows, with an emphasis on storytelling and multi-event coverage for editors.

Automated highlight data is generated by Magnifi’s platform using custom cues, which are created using machine learning to identify key moments unique to each sport. Once a cue is activated during a live stream, the data is sent to our live clipping platform to automatically log the highlight as a segment with rich metadata in the stream’s DVR.

With highlights identified and logged by AI, content teams can streamline their workflow while retaining editorial control. This moderation layer ensures higher-quality output across social and digital platforms, with distribution to owned CMS and MAM systems. The service can operate across multiple events simultaneously, with individual users able to view up to nine live streams with automated clips, events and compilations generated in real-time.

And that’s that for our NAB 2024 cloud production updates! For more information or to book a demo of these features, get in touch here.
