Talks
Friday 11th
15:00: Stop Copying Media: TAMS for Open, AI-Ready Media Workflows (Content Everywhere Stage 2)
Why does every workflow still need its own copy of the media? In this session, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and Norsk explore how TAMS enables a more open model: store media once, make it accessible across workflows, and give broadcasters more choice in the tools and partners they use. The result is less duplication, faster access, and more flexibility across clipping, replay, publishing, archive, analytics, and emerging AI-enabled media operations. Rather than locking media into closed silos, TAMS points to a practical cloud foundation for simpler operations, greater customer choice, and faster innovation. Discover why time-addressable media is emerging as a smarter foundation for the next generation of media workflows.
Saturday 12th
13:30: How synchronisation & alignment of media works in DMF and TAMS, and how they work together (EBU - 10.D21)
Ask-me-anything session on sync and timing in TAMS, JT-DMF and across the supply chain, with BBC R&D’s Robert Wadge
15:00: How Yahoo Studios Built Cloud-Native Media Workflows with TAMS on AWS (AWS - 5.C90)
Liam Mulvey and Dan Brantigan from Yahoo Studios demonstrate the end to end workflow they have built on TAMS to take content from their studios through to their website.
15:30: Capacity that follows the story (TVU Networks - 5.B86)
Reuters News Agency joins TVU Networks, InSync Technology Ltd and Kinetiq, alongside a representative from the TAMS community, for a live conversation about a different approach to live news infrastructure: Capacity follows the story.
We’ll go behind a new approach Reuters and TVU Networks are developing for live news distribution — exploring how workflows, processing and services can be dynamically assembled around the needs of each event, with capacity able to scale as demand changes.
16:00: Smart Stories - The New Knowledge Architecture for Content Production (Future Tech Stage)
Every newsroom runs on integration. Decades of it teaching our systems to talk to each other. None of it taught them what the story means. As those systems become intelligent, that context, currently lost at every handoff, becomes foundational. Join us for this exclusive, world-premiere of our IBC Accelerators’ new 2026 Incubator “Smart Stories”, as this multi-award-winning, truly global team reveals the fast-track R&D that built SOM, the Story Object Model: an open standard that makes the story a first-class object systems subscribe to. Its state, its sources, its assets. The integration layer for the agentic era.
16:00: TAMOSS at the EBU Open Source Meetup (EBU - 10.D21)
The EBU Open Source Meetup will again be held during IBC at the EBU’s stand (10.D21) and is a great place to learn about some of the latest updates from your favourite open source media projects, as well as learn about new initiatives.
The format is a series of short (5m) pitches on open source projects for media and broadcasting, spanning audio and video, software and hardware.
This year’s programme includes TAMOSS - Kubernetes-native implementation of the BBC’s Time-addressable Media Store API; a common foundation for building fast-turnaround media workflows.

11:30: TAMS and how it fits with DMF (EBU - 10.D21)
Ask-me-anything session on how TAMS fits with the Dynamic Media Facility initiative, with TAMS TSC chair Sam Mesterton-Gibbons
13:00: Live TAMOSS build
In this 30-minute slot we will install the TAMOSS operator on a real Kubernetes cluster and bring up a store. We will then connect the store to CuttingRoom Reporter and CuttingRoom Editor, using Backblaze as the S3 storage behind it. The deployment is configured against external PostgreSQL, S3 storage and an OIDC provider, making the underlying deployment Kubernetes-stateless.
The session is aimed at anyone who wants to see a complete install before attempting one on their own infrastructure.

Monday 14th
12:00: Open Media Architectures (AWS - 5.C90)
The media industry is shifting from monolithic, proprietary systems toward open, modular architectures that decouple content storage, processing, and distribution into interoperable layers. This approach enables organisations to compose best-of-breed tools, accelerate innovation, and integrate AI natively across production workflows — from ingest through to delivery.
This is being driven by open-source initiatives including TAMS (Time Addressable Media Store) which reimagines cloud storage as a real-time media platform, and MXL (Media eXchange Layer) providing standardised transport between media services. Together they illustrate how open architectures reduce vendor lock-in, lower integration costs, and empower media organisations to evolve at the pace of technology rather than procurement cycles.
With John Biltcliffe (AWS), Chris Swan (AWS) and Sam Mesterton-Gibbons (BBC R&D)
Demonstrations
2wcom Systems GmbH (8.D81) - New
We will show our IP-4c Audio over IP codec with TAMS integration
3adesign / Phrame - New
3adesign is showcasing Phrame, a cloud-native media platform with native support for TAMS. Phrame delivers compliance recording, monitoring and browser-based media workflows as ready-to-deploy solutions, with every recording, review and playback pointing directly at time-addressable media in place: no duplicate files, no proprietary silos. Broadcasters get continuous compliance recording and monitoring running alongside live production, with instant browser access to any point on the timeline. On the live side, Phrame’s services exchange frames over a shared-memory frame bus built on MXL and VDI, alongside NDI and SMPTE 2110 for standards I/O. So, whether media is moving between production services or landing in the TAMS store, Phrame relies on open, vendor-neutral interconnects rather than proprietary ones. Come and see how a genuinely TAMS-first platform simplifies compliance and monitoring without creating another media silo.
AWS (5.C90)
This year, rather than a standalone TAMS demo pod, TAMS serves as a foundational layer underpinning several demonstrations across the AWS booth — reflecting its growing role as core infrastructure for modern media workflows. In Re-inventing Linear Contribution & Distribution on AWS, TAMS powers both ingest and fast-turnaround workflows feeding directly into linear channel playout, demonstrating how cloud-native media storage can streamline traditional broadcast chains. The Adopting MXL for Live Cloud Production demo showcases TAMS playback and recording as part of a wider, gallery-based live production environment built on the MXL standard, illustrating how TAMS and MXL work together as complementary technologies for cloud-based production. And in Smart Stories: The Agentic Production Ecosystem, developed through the IBC Accelerator programme, TAMS acts as the media store alongside the SOM bus as the story context layer, enabling next-generation news workflows that include AI-driven understanding of TAMS content, AI-assisted story writing, and automated publishing to multiple endpoints.
Beyond the demos, TAMS also features in the AWS booth theatre programme, with a session from Yahoo on Saturday and an Open Media Architectures session on Monday lunchtime exploring the broader ecosystem around TAMS. Visitors looking to get hands-on will also find Logic Media and Merapar on the AWS booth — both systems integrators with live TAMS demonstrations and real-world experience building with TAMS, ready to help customers looking to adopt it in their own environments.

BCNEXXT
Vipe from BCNEXXT now supports TAMS.
TAMS aligns directly with BCNEXXT’s principals of openness, agility, scalability and performance and by switching to utilizing native TAMS on object storage, BCNEXXT expects to rapidly develop new functionality such as a comprehensive ‘lines’ recording and subsequent content management functionality for Vipe, becoming a major enabler for BNCEXXT’s ‘record once and use many times’ philosophy.
Broadcast Bionics (8.F40) - New
MOR> Multi Object Recorder is built for radio and podcast workflows, synchronising free-running cameras to PTP-locked audio and capturing every source as a reusable media object. Rather than creating only a finished programme, it writes synchronised video, audio and metadata directly into a TAMS store for immediate search, AI inference, editing and repurposing.
Creator Node connects a RØDECaster directly into professional AoIP infrastructure, carrying multichannel audio and GPIO between the desktop production environment and the wider broadcast network. At the same time, it enables multitrack recording straight from the RØDECaster into a TAMS store, preserving individual microphones, programme audio and other sources for immediate reuse, search, AI processing and repurposing.
CuttingRoom (1.D20) - Updated
CuttingRoom works natively with TAMS, with no duplication of files. Add as many TAMS stores you need, and access them all directly from the award winning CuttingRoom Cloud Editor. TAMS sources can grow both in the source player and on your timeline, so you can edit the way you prefer. In addition you can record to TAMS natively from the field using the CuttingRoom Reporter iPhone app. CuttingRoom has often been used to verify new TAMS implementations, as we were among the first to support it. CuttingRoom is known for the many out-of-the-box integrations with MAM/PAMs (like Avid, Iconik, Mimir and many more), cloud storages (like AWS S3, StoreJ, Backblaze and many more) and has a pluggable AI assistant, ShortCut, that customers can train to their specific needs. All our tools are up to date with TAMS 8.2
GV (9.A01) - New
“This is not another TAMS connector demonstration. Grass Valley will showcase a fully integrated content supply chain that brings TAMS media registration directly into the production workflow, from ingest and edit through to rendering and distribution.
The Elastic Recorder workload (scalable distibuted ingest) ingests and registers media into TAMS, Framelight X provides the editorial experience with Search, Discovery and remote browser/Premiere Edit, before FLARE rendering handles final rendition and output.
Framelight X abstracts the underlying storage environment, allowing editors to work seamlessly with traditional local or remote storage alongside time-addressable media in TAMS all as a combined content and editing workflow. This enables organisations to adopt TAMS without disrupting established creative processes or creating another workflow for users to manage.”
https://www.grassvalley.com/products/ampp/framelight-x/
Hiscale (1.F17) - New
New at IBC: Hiscale FLICS Live Ingest can now record live streams directly into TAMS.
FLICS captures IP-based sources including SRT, NDI, HLS, MPEG-TS and RTMP, and makes the incoming content available through TAMS while it’s still being recorded. This means other applications and workflows can start accessing and working with the content straight away.
A simple way to connect live ingest with open, TAMS-based media workflows.
LiveU (7.C24) - New
LiveU is demonstrating its development of TAMS as part of the LiveU EcoSystem, enabling continued interoperability and industry openess, in conjunction with the SOM IBC Accelerator for both Live and File based workflows.
LiveWyer - New
Live TAMOSS recordings and interviews to a publicly available TAMS Store
On each of the three days we will be walking the halls recording interviews with exhibitors and visitors. Each interview is captured on CuttingRoom Reporter and uploaded directly into a public TAMOSS store that we run for the show. There is no memory card to offload and no file to copy between systems. As soon as an interview is in the store, anyone with the link can browse it and play it back, or pull it into an edit or QC tool over the TAMS API.
Come and find us if you would like to be interviewed. If you would rather watch, ask us for the link to the store and you can follow the interviews as they are added over the three days.

LOGIC media solutions GmbH (5.C90) - Updated
LOGIC will be present at IBC 2026 as a co-exhibitor at the AWS booth 5.C90, showcasing an end-to-end reference architecture for a modern highlight platform built on TAMS.
Acting as the integrator, LOGIC demonstrates how the full solution package comes together across ingest, event processing, AI-assisted analysis, orchestration, editorial approval, rendering, and delivery preparation.
The showcase highlights how audio, video, and metadata streams can be brought into a scalable cloud-based workflow that supports faster and more efficient highlight production without losing operational control.
Particular emphasis is placed on the modular architecture approach, where clearly separated solution packages are combined into one integrated platform while remaining flexible for future extension. The concept illustrates how existing media and production environments can be enhanced step by step with automation, governance, and scalable processing capabilities.
Matrox Video (7.B15) - Updated
Matrox ORIGIN is a development framework for rapidly building media applications using a REST-based API. It’s an open and extensible system that allows developers to build their own media processing functions with a laser focus on their specific concerns, as control state is managed by the framework. It includes a large number of media processing functions, including clip players, mixers, SRT, and much more.
For IBC 2026, we made some improvements to our TAMS reader and writer, now supporting “Play while Record” workflows; this allows for quick-turnaround capture and replay within ORIGIN.
There is demonstration of the Matrox TAMS playback and record features on the Matrox (7.B15) and AWS (5.C90) booths.

Mavis (10.A41) - Updated
“Mavis Camera is a powerful professional camera app for iPhone, designed to connect a wide range of acquisition sources directly into TAMS-based workflows.
In this demo, we extend our existing camera-to-cloud technology with native TAMS support across multiple video sources. Content can be captured using the iPhone’s built-in cameras, received over NDI, or brought in from professional HDMI and SDI cameras using devices such as the Atomos Ninja Phone and Accsoon SeeMo range.
The result demonstrates how Mavis can bridge traditional production hardware with cloud-native workflows, bringing everything from an iPhone camera to a professional SDI source directly into TAMS, all through a device you already have in your pocket.”
Mimir (7.A53) - Updated
Here is how Mimir is transforming cloud broadcast workflows with TAMS (Time Addressable Media Store): Instead of making file copies or duplicating proxies, Mimir sits as the intelligence and discovery layer on top of TAMS.
Here is what we’re showcasing: ⚡ Edit-by-Reference: Search, view, and process live MPEG-TS segments directly in object storage. without duplicate files. 🤝 Cross-Tenant Federation: Discover and share media across organizational tenants with unified credentials and rights auditing. 🛠️ Tooling Integration: Works seamlessly alongside craft editors like Adobe Premiere and CuttingRoom.
Validated in the AWS reference architecture for fast-turnaround workflows, Mimir brings intelligence, rights, and story-centric search to the TAMS ecosystem.

Norsk (5.A53) - New
The concept behind TAMS is simple: record media once, index it against a timeline, and make it accessible to any application instantly without making duplicate copies. Rather than locking media into closed silos, TAMS points to a practical cloud foundation for simpler operations, greater customer choice, and faster innovation. And the use cases are almost endless: clipping for reuse across platforms, making assets available for VoD in multiple services, capturing video quality issues for forensic review … the list goes on. Norsk and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure will be demonstrating real-world TAMS applications in Norsk Studio — just drag a TAMS box onto a workflow and access your recordings via a straightforward player UI with seamless scrubbing. Come see the demo at the Norsk stand, 5.A53, or Oracle and Norsk’s joint presentation at 15:00 on the Content Everywhere Stage 2 (5.G72) in Hall 5.

Reuters Imagen (5.D44) - Updated
Live-to-Social Highlight Engine: On demand recording of live video streams into TAMS, with AI continuously analyzing the feed in real time to detect standout moments — big plays, crowd reactions, key talking points — and automatically clips them into ready-to-post highlights for social media. On stand demo, come a play e-sports, which are being streamed to the cloud using TVU to go through the above flow.
Techex (2.B45) - Updated
Techex’s tx darwin TAMS integration provides the ingest and routing layer into a TAMS store that downstream editing and archive tools can reach the instant they exist.
With Techex tx darwin’s video and audio conformance leading synchronization of multiple feeds on output to a TAMS store, tx darwin lets broadcasters adopt vendor-agnostic, cloud-native production without re-plumbing their existing contribution workflows. This now includes Timecode-aware media segmentation and delivery from MXL workflows.
TVU (5.B86) - Updated
TVU Networks is demonstrating TAMS in production at Reuters scale as part of Scalable Live — a cloud-native live news workflow where TVU MediaMesh writes live feeds directly into Reuters’ TAMS store for immediate AI indexing, enrichment, and journalist access. This is an end-to-end Reuters production workflow running live at IBC, where capacity follows the story rather than a fixed channel count. See it in action at Hall 5, stand B.86, or join the Scalable Live session on September 12 at 3:30 PM.
Zixi (5.A76) - New
“ZEN Master, powered by Broadcaster v19, writes live streams directly into a TAMS (Time Addressable Media Store) as time-stamped segments that can be reached at any point on the timeline. Any Zixi input, including SRT, RIST, Zixi protocol, and HLS, becomes content addressed by time rather than by file. Teams can work with the stream while it is still being written, take only the interval they need, and build clips or edits by reference with no rendering and no file transfers. Broadcaster handles protocol reliability, timing, and packaging ahead of the store, so TAMS receives a clean, continuously timestamped record of the event.
The store becomes a landing point for the feeds Zixi already carries. A venue contributing over SRT or Zixi protocol lands in TAMS within seconds, so a producer can pull a replay or highlight by timestamp while the event is on air. A RIST hand-off from a partner network becomes a time-indexed record for compliance, rights review, or late-joining editors. An HLS source can be normalized by Broadcaster and stored once, then re-cut for social, syndication, or on-demand without a second transcode.The live demo shows this end to end: pick a TAMS environment and flow, watch segments appear as Broadcaster writes them, or query the store by time range, then play the results in the browser or download them stitched into a single clip.”
