Nxtedition will be showcasing its unified platform at NAB 2025 (booth SL13413, Las Vegas Convention Center, 6-9 April). This platform incorporates award-winning XR studio control and new advanced AI agents and AI commands. The company's microservices architecture focuses on creating story-based production environments, offering comprehensive core production capabilities and seamless integration with specialist tools.
At NAB, visitors can experience Nxtedition’s fully automated XR mixed reality studio gallery firsthand using an XR headset. This groundbreaking approach to live production allows for the operator and studio to be located anywhere, significantly expanding the possibilities of remote production. The rise in demand for live content, news, and engaging presentations is driving broadcasters to seek ways to improve workflows using AI cost-effectively and ethically. Nxtedition leverages open-source AI services for tight integration with leading AI applications such as OpenAI Whisper and Meta’s open-source Llama 3 large language model without any additional processing fees.
This enables semantic natural language search, making searches more intuitive and productive. The platform integrates multiple open-source AI models to create AI agents that run background tasks, automatically generating content titles and descriptions for social media, suggesting new story angles, fact-checking material, and adapting stories for different audiences. This multi-AI capability operates within the Nxtedition software environment, eliminating the need for additional hardware or cloud/third-party AI service costs.
“Today’s expectations are centered around more live content, more news, and more engaging presentations,” said Adam Leah, creative director at Nxtedition. “Broadcasters are exploring ways to enhance their workflows with AI while keeping costs manageable. Nxtedition takes an open-source approach by seamlessly running multiple advanced open source AI models directly on its ecosystem — without adding additional processing fees.”
Nxtedition is a comprehensive production platform supporting resolutions up to 4K and HDR. It includes all the necessary functionality for a busy newsroom, including fast turnaround editing and seamless integration with DaVinci Resolve and API access to other editing platforms. Its open API philosophy allows easy integration with other specialist software, such as MapCreator for dynamic HTML maps and the Melodie production music library service.
“We develop pioneering technology, but our primary goal is to ensure our customers can tell their stories without the technology getting in the way,” Nxtedition’s Leah concluded. “We look forward to showing NAB visitors how our platform adapts to their ways of working, including new concepts — like AI agents and XR control — that they will never have seen before, but will inspire new ideas and drive meaningful change.”
