This could be used, for instance, to allow multi-site production teams to upload proxy content and metadata to the cloud for a shared, searchable environment.

Several customers are currently testing the latest version of Stage, which expected to be available in June.

Said Art Raymond, CEO of Levels Beyond, in a released statement: "It untethers local content libraries so producers can take full advantage of the paradigm shift currently under way on how people interact with and publish video content."
