IBC 2013: Axle Video has launched a new version of its media management software, Axle 2013.

Axle has also announced a new Pro version of the software with support for the Avid Media Composer suite of editors and a new bundled system for the Adobe Anywhere collaborative platform.

Axle Pro, which is also being demonstrated at IBC, is a new version of Axle media management specifically for use with Avid’s Media Composer family of editors, with direct support for MXF Op-Atom files in conjunction with Avid ISIS and third party storage.

Meanwhile, Axle Gear Pro is an integrated package of media management software with support for Avid media, Telestream Episode Pro software for proxy creation and transcoding, and two Mac Mini server CPUs in a single 1U rack mount chassis.

Axle GearStack, an integrated package of Axle Gear configurations coupled with baseband and file-based ingest appliances from MOG Technologies, allows high-volume media ingest and live logging to feed directly into an Axle search, browse, select, review and approve workflow.    

“We’re seeing fantastic market response to Axle’s philosophy of radically simple, transparent, and high-value media management,” said Axle Video chief executive Sam Bogoch.
