Proximity to demo asset management via Artbox - NAB Products

Post, March, 2004

NEW YORK -- At this year's NAB show in Las Vegas, Proximity (www.proximitygroup.com) will introduce Artbox, a new asset management system for artists that allows them to manage all of their work from one interface. The solution integrates format conversion, storage, workflow management and search and retrieval of artwork (video, graphics, script or audio) into a single device.

Since Artbox supports multiple devices and formats, users can select best-of-breed solutions that meet their requirements. The tool can convert between all major still and video formats, and interfaces with current and legacy equipment from manufacturers such as Avid, Adobe, Chyron, Discreet, Grass Valley, Leitch, Omneon, Pinnacle, Quantel and Sundance. Artbox's content management module stores artwork in its native format. Users can search, locate, transfer and transcode artwork across multiple platforms and formats. The artist no longer needs to be concerned with format conversion and where to store the asset.
