    Syracuse University Implements Avid Workflow For Communications Students

    BURLINGTON, Mass. --

    Avid (Nasdaq: AVID) announced that The Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University has embraced Avid Everywhere as part of an $18 million renovation. The school has implemented a workflow powered by the Avid MediaCentral Platform for its studio production facilities at The Newhouse Studio and Innovation Center, to help prepare students for real-world production environments.

    The Newhouse School has invested in Avid Artist Suite and Storage Suite solutions to keep its labs and edit suites current as part of its efforts to replicate real-world experiences and enable students to work with the tools that they will depend on when they make their transition to the industry.

    “The Newhouse School is committed to training the next generation of storytellers and Avid makes great tools for storytellers,” said Neal Coffey, studio manager, The Newhouse School. “Our partnership with Avid leads to student success both while they’re in school and when making the transition into the real world.”

    Newhouse has been teaching the industry-standard nonlinear editing system Avid Media Composer to students for 15 years, but the center’s labs and edit suites are now home to the latest version of Media Composer and the Avid ISIS® | 5500 shared storage system.

    “The ISIS storage system will help students share media between edit suites and bring that media into the training labs for demonstrations and critiques,” said Coffey. “Our smaller ISIS installations at Syracuse University have proven to be so reliable that we really didn’t consider any other storage systems. Our only requirement was that we needed our editing storage to be compatible with Media Composer, Final Cut Pro and Premiere Pro.”

    The school has also connected the industry-standard digital audio software Avid Pro Tools to the ISIS storage systems, which enables students working out of the music recording studios to compose, record, edit and mix with ease.

    “By embracing Avid Everywhere and implementing state-of-the-art production workflows, The Newhouse School is able to help prepare its students to become leaders in a rapidly changing media industry,” said Avid’s senior VP and chief marketing officer, Kyle Kim-Hays. “Educational institutions that offer access to real-world tools and workflows are able to give students the best chances of success in their future careers.”

    Apple and Google Face UK Investigation Into Mobile Browser Dominance

    Saturday, November 23, 2024

    Apple and Google aren't giving consumers a genuine choice of mobile web browsers, a British watchdog said Friday in a report that recommends they face an investigation under new U.K. digital rules taking effect next year.

    The Competition and Markets Authority took aim at Apple, saying the iPhone maker's tactics hold back innovation by stopping rivals from giving users new features like faster webpage loading. Apple does this by restricting progressive web apps, which don't need to be downloaded from an app store and aren't subject to app store commissions, the report said.

    "This technology is not able to fully take off on iOS devices," the watchdog said in a provisional report on its investigation into mobile browsers that it opened after an initial study concluded that Apple and Google effectively have a chokehold on "mobile ecosystems."

    The CMA's report also found that Apple and Google manipulate the choices given to mobile phone users to make their own browsers "the clearest or easiest option."

    And it said that the a revenue-sharing deal between the two U.S. Big Tech companies "significantly reduces their financial incentives" to compete in mobile browsers on Apple's iOS operating system for iPhones.

    Both companies said they will "engage constructively" with the CMA.

    Apple said it disagreed with the findings and said it was concerned that the recommendations would undermine user privacy and security.

    Google said the openness of its Android mobile operating system "has helped to expand choice, reduce prices and democratize access to smartphones and apps" and that it's "committed to open platforms that empower consumers."

    It's the latest move by regulators on both sides of the Atlantic to crack down on the... Read More
