MoovIT will showcase its Helmut4 video project management software, alongside helmut.cloud—the new holistic platform for workflow automation, integration, and connection—in Booth SL3124 at the 2024 NAB Show.

Well known in Europe, the company says its next step is to focus on the American market—working side-by-side with CHESA, the specialist and solution partner for professional media workflows in the U.S.

“It is MoovIT’s philosophy that all tasks within a video production process can be defined as a combination of workflows, regardless of the type and size of a company. Triggered by any event, good workflows are the basis for organizing teams, tasks and solutions,” said David Merzenich, managing director at MoovIT MSP.

This core principle has been key to the successful development of Helmut4, the project management software, combined with FX, IO, Cosmo, and Housekeeper components for efficient management, backup, and control of editing projects in professional Adobe video production environments. According to the company, Helmut4 is “successfully established in the European video production industry and considered a game-changer by customers making the switch from Avid to the Adobe landscape.”

Following the same guiding principle, MoovIT has created helmut.cloud, a platform that opens up an unlimited field for workflow design and orchestration. It offers an open architecture that allows customers to integrate any software they use or require into the workflow. With helmut.cloud, the customer can automate, connect, create, and even program their own production solutions with no restrictions—securely and tailored to their specific needs.

As a result, it enables production teams to organize, design, trigger, execute, and monitor all workflows according to their wishes using the Streamdesigner Studio node-based application. In addition, the platform provides an event gateway to connect any video software within minutes, including the Helmut4 toolkit to extend them with an out-of-the-box workflow engine. The company says this creates unlimited new possibilities for creative, customized workflow designs for broadcasters, media professionals, and many other industries.

High5 is the go-to application in helmut.cloud for connecting and extending modern and legacy apps like never before. It allows users to create apps, define events, and easily build powerful workflow orchestrations using Streamdesigner Studio. High5 also offers a dashboard for monitoring stream executions and allows users to trigger events using incoming webhooks. It also provides the flexibility to run streams on any computer, on-premises or in the cloud—for distributing workflows around the world.

“Thanks to the smart implementation of webhooks, plus the combination of automation, integration and programming options, the workload involved in creating workflows drops by 90%. The obvious benefit is cost reduction, and/or more room for useful workflow traffic. This brings customers a big step closer to achieving the goal of effective supply chain management,” said David Merzenich, managing director for MoovIT Software Products GmbH.

High5 also provides a so-called ‘secrets store’, where IDs, IPs, API tokens and more are 100% encrypted and stored securely. This means this data is only visible to the system with which communication is taking place, and is stored and protected in the helmut.cloud database – so no one, not even system admins, can decipher them.

All of these MoovIT products, and more, can be seen in Booth SL3124 at NAB Show 2024.
