NAB Show 2022 is a landmark event that gave birth to a fruitful collaboration between Oxagile and AJA. It took just an hour to realize that working together might be beneficial for both parties.

After going live, the product reached its first destination, NAB Show 2023, and was introduced to the public. It gained the interest of the exhibition participants thanks to its cost-saving opportunities while distributing content to end users.
The collaboration with AJA Video Systems is a significant milestone for Oxagile as we’ve also launched the product licensing and distribution stages.
“We are excited to provide this much-needed service to AJA Diskover Media Edition customers, as it will help quickly cue more content creators and providers into when their content is ready to share with their distribution partner or client by meeting IMF packaging requirements. We’re confident this will save them both time and money compared to the processes currently required to validate content.”
