The Maestro graphics suite delivers new return on investment through full backwards compatibility so users can continue to work with content they created in earlier versions of Maestro. The solution also provides tight integration with Avid’s solution portfolio, including the MediaCentral® platform which enables production teams to easily incorporate graphics into their workflows. In addition, the new Maestro can be used in environments with existing ​Maestro | Engine hardware and it supports HD/UHD over IP (25G), UHD 12G and HDR workflows, bringing more flexibility to meet today’s and tomorrow’s graphics requirements.

Users of this next generation of Maestro can now leverage a simplified subscription model, providing teams with the flexibility to scale to meet changing business needs while futureproofing their organization for migration to the cloud. With a Maestro subscription, users gain access to the latest software and features, as well as a more secure and easily managed IT infrastructure deployed on Avid certified hardware—allowing users to focus on doing their best creative work.

“With easier access and better workflow integration, the new Maestro subscription solution solves the need for news and sports production and graphics teams to have tighter collaboration and faster content turn-around,” said, David Colantuoni, Vice President, Product Management for Video and Media Solutions, Avid. “With today’s Maestro graphics, teams are able to rapidly illustrate more compelling broadcasts and events for their audiences, while taking advantage of our new subscription model to gain the flexibility to adapt to the evolving requirements in demanding production environments.”
