Crawford to Demonstrate Web-Based Asset Management System for First Time at 2011 NAB Show in Las Vegas

Crawford Media Services (www.crawford.com), an Atlanta-based post production and media management company, will be demonstrating their web-based asset management system for the first time at the National Association of Broadcasters’ annual NAB Show®, taking place April 11-14 in Las Vegas at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Crawford will be set up at Booth N5018.

Crawford’s Media Asset Management (MAM) is an easy-to-use, convenient and cost-effective, web-based digital asset management solution. Designed for organizations of any size, Crawford’s MAM significantly reduces cost by alleviating the client’s burden to build, host, and manage their own system. Crawford’s MAM is easily customized and branded to meet the individual needs of the client – providing a powerful tool that gives users quick access to their video, photos, audio, documents and artwork.

“For years organizations have struggled to manage their digital assets, so we have created an efficient, user friendly and inexpensive Web-based solution to meet a rapidly growing need and challenge,” said Steve Davis, senior vice president and COO of Crawford’s media management group. “We believe this system is a legitimate game changer for our industry, and there is no better place to demonstrate the many capabilities of our MAM than at the 2011 NAB Show®.”

Crawford’s integrated solutions include mass migration of virtually any format and a digital archive service. The company not only provides the highest quality and most efficient means to migrate content, they also ensure that content is safe, secure, and accessible for generations to come.

Current clients include the United Nations, JWT, World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and the US Holocaust Memorial Museum.

Crawford Moves to New, Expanded State-of-the-Art Facility

Crawford Media Services (New Facility)

Crawford Media Services, Inc., a leading integrated post-production house and media migration, archive and management company in North America, announced this week it has moved to a new state-of-the-art location, a seven-story office building at 6 West Druid Hills Drive in Atlanta, off North Druid Hills Road just west of I-85. The dramatically transformed, 80,000 square-foot facility offers some of the following services:

  • Eight 3D-capable editing and graphic suites
  • 40-seat Dolby-certified screening/mixing/color correction theatre
  • Multi-purpose tracking studio and insert stage
  • Baselight non-linear color grading
  • Facility-wide, file-based workflows
  • Mass digitization, media archive and hosted asset management
  • State-of-the-art editing and audio facilities
  • Blu-ray and DVD authoring and design

Formerly known as Crawford Communications, the company sold its Satellite Services division one year ago.  This marks the fifth building since the company was founded in 1981, and the first move in a decade. The company’s former location was 3845 Pleasantdale Road in Atlanta. The new building was designed by Alex Muñoz & Associates and is the third corporate headquarters project the firm has worked on with Crawford.  Choate Construction headed up the construction effort, and Comprehensive Technical Group (CTG) handled all aspects of systems integration. Seeing is believing; call us for a personal tour!
