Vidispine Case Study: Las Vegas Raiders Forge New Media Path with Vidispine‘s MAM Solution
Story Highlights
The Las Vegas Raiders have teamed up with Vidispine to bring innovation to their media asset management. Their newly launched hybrid system, integrated with Adobe Premiere and featuring API connection to NFL‘s Next Gen Stats, is set to redefine the way football content is managed, produced, and analyzed, promising an edge in the 2023 season and beyond.
Initial Situation
The Las Vegas Raiders’ Silver & Black Productions team produces and archives a wide variety of media content, from game footage to player features to historical documentaries, for distribution across broadcast, in-stadium, digital, and social media platforms.
They sought to modernize their media asset management (MAM) system in preparation for the 2023 NFL season. They required a hybrid solution that seamlessly combined AWS Cloud and on-premises storage, along with an approach to media management. Integration with Adobe Premiere and the API-based connection to NFL‘s Next Gen Stats were essential elements of this transformation.
Vision
The Raiders‘ vision was to empower their production team with a MAM system that could handle media assets, streamline workflows, and integrate with Adobe Premiere. The solution had to be hybrid in nature, utilizing both cloud and local storage, and it needed to prioritize an API-first approach for future integrations with AI, Next Gen Stats, and other applications.

Ongoing training is a pivotal focus to help users adapt to this sleek and modern solution with advanced functionality.
