MediaCentral | Cloud UX

Access MediaCentral from anywhere to edit stories and view media assets

Avid MediaCentral | Cloud UX for Android provides a portal that enables you to access MediaCentral from anywhere using your Android device. Stay in sync with the newsroom while you’re working in the field, browse, play, and approve media assets while in editorial meetings, or use Presenter mode on your tablet to replace printed scripts on the set.
