About Avid | Edit on Demand
Use Avid | Edit on Demand to rent virtual instances of Media Composer and cloud-based NEXIS storage on an as-needed basis. With powerful virtual workstations and scalable storage hosted in Microsoft Azure, you can spin up post-production capabilities in any location, access them from anywhere, and shut them down quickly when the project’s complete, saving time and transportation costs.
Access to your virtual machines and storage is provided via a Teradici PCoIP client running on a local Mac or PC, and delivers performance that’s indistinguishable from editing on a local machine attached to local storage. High speed file transfer tools like File Catalyst and Aspera will help you upload and download files as needed.

Avid cloud workflows
Edit on Demand
Currently, the only way to access Edit on Demand is through Avid’s Early Access preview programme. As an Avid Cloud Partner, we can help you determine your needs and assist you in setting up the virtual machines and storage you need. We’ll advise on every aspect of your setup, from Azure integration to high speed file transfer solutions, from virtual NEXIS volumes to setting up virtual editing workstations.
Media Composer | Cloud VM
We’ve been running remote instances of Media Composer from our datacentre for six years now, so have the experience you need to launch Media Composer in your public cloud tenancy or on a host workstation on your premises. If you just need to access Media Composer remotely or in your own cloud, get in touch with one of our team to discuss your licensing options.
Streambox Spectra
Streambox Spectra runs on the same real or virtual workstation as Media Composer and creates a high quality stream direct from your Avid timeline. Utilising the same Avid OpenIO framework as AJA and Blackmagic Design I/O solutions, Spectra extracts video from the Media Composer timeline and encodes it so that it can be received remotely by editors, directors or producers as needed. Pair with Streambox Chroma X to deliver to an SDI monitor, or deliver direct to laptops and mobile devices.

Article: How Streambox cracked remote grading
The colour fidelity grading requires has kept clients and colourists firmly in the suite (or, at a pinch, in linked suites at different locations), with little of the flexibility editors have started to enjoy. Until Streambox.
