Mavis has announced a new beta integration between Mavis Camera and TAMS (Time Addressable Media Store) as part of the company’s Camera to Cloud (Mavis C2C) service.
The new workflow enables video captured in Mavis Camera to be uploaded directly to TAMS in real time, enabling the iPhone to deliver a growing file for fast-turnaround, cloud-native productions.
The integration is significant because it builds on the Mavis approach to camera-to-cloud, where media is uploaded progressively as discrete chunks rather than streamed as a single continuous feed. This means content can continue to move reliably even over variable or constrained networks, while preserving the timing and metadata needed to reconstruct a coherent timeline downstream.
TAMS is an open API approach developed by BBC R&D for storing and accessing media as time-addressable chunks in object storage, rather than relying on traditional monolithic files or continuous streams.
To help production teams stay current in fast-moving situations, there is a new “jump to live” capability. If network conditions slow and uploads begin to back up, the upload head can jump forward to the latest live material, allowing current content to arrive first, with older queued segments uploaded afterwards. This makes the workflow particularly well-suited to news, events, and other fast-turnaround environments.
The new TAMS integration also works with Mavis Camera’s growing range of supported external inputs. Users can connect devices such as the Atomos Ninja Phone or Accsoon SeeMo series to bring in HDMI or SDI sources, while NDI input support enables IP-based video to feed the same TAMS pipeline.
BBC R&D, AWS, and industry partners have positioned TAMS as a framework for fast-turnaround media production built around object storage and open, interoperable APIs. Mavis’ beta integration extends that vision to mobile acquisition, showing how a common iPhone-based workflow can contribute directly to this emerging ecosystem.
The new Mavis TAMS integration will be presented at NAB and showcased on the AWS stand. Mavis will also showcase the integration, alongside its new product Mavis Studio, at stand N2161. Mavis is currently seeking partners interested in testing the beta workflow in real-world production environments.
