Avid rolled into New York City last Thursday night, May 15th, with its New Thinking event held at the newly refurbished Edison Ballroom (formerly known as the Supper Club). Over 350+ attendees were on hand to hear Avid Video's General Manager, Kirk Arnold, talk about Avid's latest product and service announcements. Following the main stage presentation, guests had numerous opportunities to speak directly with many of the Avid staffers who were in the room, including Avid executives, product engineers, and marketing personnel.
Guests were also able to experience demonstrations of Avid's latest editing products, including Media Composer® Nitris® DX, Symphony™ Nitris® DX, and NewsCutter® Nitris DX, as well as try the latest editing software (on Mac and PC laptops) at the "Media Composer Experience" table. And, for those interested in storage, this was the first event where Avid had the Avid® VideoRAID SR® disk array available for demonstration. The response from customers for this new product was very enthusiastic. Check out the VideoRAID ST and SR product pages on Avid's web site for more information.
Thank you to all of the customers and friends that came out for this great evening and took the time to chat with us onsite.
Here are a few photos from the event.
