Project Overview

Initial Situation

The Las Vegas Raiders’ Silver & Black Productions team produces and archives a wide variety of media content, from game footage to player features to historical documentaries, for distribution across broadcast, in-stadium, digital, and social media platforms. They sought to modernize their media asset management (MAM) system in preparation for the 2023 NFL season. They required a hybrid solution that seamlessly combined AWS Cloud and on-premises storage, along with an innovative approach to media management. Integration with Adobe Premiere and the API-based connection to NFL‘s Next Gen Stats were essential elements of this transformation.

Vision

The vision of the Raiders was to equip their production team with an advanced MAM system capable of effectively managing media assets, optimizing workflows, and seamlessly integrating with Adobe Premiere. The desired solution had to be hybrid, incorporating both cloud and local storage, and it had to prioritize an API-first approach for upcoming integrations with AI, Next Gen Stats, and other applications.

Solution

Vidispine, an Arvato Systems brand, offered a comprehensive product suite to meet the Raiders' needs, including VidiCore for MAM, VidiFlow for workflow automation, MediaPortal for quick discovery, and MoovIT's Helmut for Adobe Premiere Integration. The Vidispine team collaborated closely to build a hybrid environment, design custom workflows, and integrate APIs with NFL's Next Gen Stats and Telestream Vantage. A future phase will involve migrating data from the legacy CatDV system to transition existing media assets to the Vidispine System, with ongoing training focused on user adaptation to this sleek, modern solution with advanced functionality.
