Intelligence Built Into FLOW and MediaSilo
At NAB, EditShare will demonstrate AI-driven media intelligence integrated into both FLOW and MediaSilo, helping teams locate content faster, enrich metadata automatically, and unlock greater value from their media libraries.
Purpose-built as Analytical AI, these capabilities enhance your media without generating or altering it, giving organizations the confidence to adopt AI while maintaining full control and data sovereignty. Processing occurs automatically on ingest, either on-premise for FLOW or within isolated, SOC 2-accredited cloud containers for MediaSilo, ensuring your assets never leave a secure, audited environment. Secure by design, your content remains protected from third-party data sharing while becoming dramatically easier to search, reuse, and monetize.
Core Capabilities on Display:
- Facial Recognition: Identify known/unknown people & tag key individuals across your entire library
- Logo Detection: Automatically locate brands, products & on-screen graphics
- Scene Description: Gain high-level visual summaries for faster content discovery
- Speech-to-Text: Generate accurate transcripts & captions for enhanced searchability
- Optical Character Recognition: Detects on screen text for precision data extraction

The AI Platform for Visual Storytelling
Built for cloud. Powered by AI. Designed for a digital-first world.
Producing live video isn’t getting any easier. Media teams are under growing pressure to create more live content, more versions, and distribute it across more platforms, often with fewer resources. At the same time, audiences are increasingly fragmented and attention, the ultimate currency, is harder than ever to earn.
At NAB 2026, we will show what comes next for live video, graphics, and visual storytelling powered by AI, and what this enables across studios, sports, newsrooms, live events, and corporate video production. This is not about simply talking through solutions. It is about demonstrating real outcomes so you can capture attention and engagement wherever video happens.
AI Studio – Flexible Studio Production
See how studios can produce professional quality shows without complex setups or the limitations of fixed sets. Control cameras, virtual sets, and graphics in real time, all powered by AI.
Story Production Hub – Accelerate All Live Productions
