SNS were ahead of the game this year with a stand at the annual Pre NAB JB&A event (SLS Las Vegas) and with two stands this year in the South Lower Hall, there really was twice as many chances / places to get hands-on with the latest gear.
Hot off the show floor here is the latest on what you missed or if you merely want a re-cap…

ShareBrowser Web App
Traditionally a desktop application, the ShareBrowser experience has been reimagined.
SNS have reviewed and listened to end-users, who use ShareBrowser, in real-life working environments and have adapted their application to benefit even more users.
Users don’t always need direct access via a ‘file-path’ and in large environments this could become problematic, users just needed to review material. The solution….a Web App!
Now you can access ShareBrowser without a desktop application, from the comfort of your web browser. Just point your browser at EVO and login to search, organise, tag, and find proxies of your media.
With no need to install any fancy software the new ShareBrowser web app is now the easiest and quickest way to include more collaborators into the workflow. You can now expand the number of users effortlessly.

SNS AI
“First step into machine learning”
AI was one of the hot topics at this year’s NAB show. Whilst prior to the show SNS like all companies were dropping hints and ‘exclusive’ previews of what would be on stands, this news was released directly from the show floor.
Laying the ground work for much deeper machine learning which will be seen in later releases, at NAB 2018 SNS showcased their AI software.
With auto tagging in the form of ‘scene recognition’ by sending a clip to the cloud via the web app, the file will return pre-tagged with scene selection. Genius!
The aim, to ease the workflow and allow the team to work on being creative, rather then tagging for hours on end.
