What Nomad Media is
Nomad Media is a cloud-native media asset management platform for storing, organizing, searching, enriching, and distributing large video libraries. It supports video, audio, documents, and images, with metadata and tagging, version history, guest sharing, and API access. Its semantic search can find material by meaning across visuals, audio, and speech, including moments associated with faces, objects, scenes, or spoken words. AI tools generate metadata, tag people, and support agents that clip, enrich, and route content. Live video features include broadcast control, clipping during a stream, and automatic live-to-VOD conversion with AI enrichment.
Manage supports hybrid and cloud deployment, while Connect supports migrations, real-time two-way synchronization, and browsing and searching Glacier archives without retrieving files. Nomad Media Explorer brings the library into Finder or File Explorer on Mac and Windows. Linux users have CLI access but no visual desktop app; a mobile experience is under evaluation. Security options include role- and content-level permissions, guest approval, and SSO. Pricing is on request.
