Every element of studio production—logistics, capture, post, and delivery—connected, automated, and measurable. Built on 25 years of Adobe, Capture One, and Canon integration.
For 20 years, SAM (Studio Automation Manager) has been the mission-critical backbone of Europe's largest content studios. What started as a "Where's My Stuff" tracker evolved into an AI-powered performance monitor with generative capabilities.
20 years of continuous client feedback from studios, buyers, merchandisers, and IT teams has refined SAM4 into the best-of-breed solution. This isn't a startup experiment—it's battle-tested infrastructure.
25-year collaboration with Adobe Photoshop, Capture One, and Canon—the industry's number one combination. Deep integration that eliminates duplicate metadata entry and streamlines capture workflows.
During peak trading, our clients had zero content availability issues. When every second counts and campaigns can't slip, SAM4 delivers mission-critical reliability that new systems simply can't match.
"There is no place for an unproven system in mission-critical production. SAM4's 20-year heritage means every nuance, every bottleneck, every UX challenge has been ironed out through real-world studio use."
