Knox Media Hub at the NAB 2025: addressing the key trends
The NAB Show 2025 is fast approaching, and the media & entertainment industry is buzzing with anticipation. Everyone is preparing their agendas, wondering about the latest innovations and trends. At Knox Media Hub, we’ve put it all together for you in this quick read!
Revolutionizing Metadata Management
Metadata is the foundation of media library management and workflow efficiency. As content volumes grow and distribution channels multiply, structured and standardized metadata becomes crucial. Without it, integration challenges, inefficiencies, and workflow bottlenecks arise.
Knox Media Hub’s Metadata Solutions
At Knox Media Hub, we are transforming metadata management with Catalog Models and Metadata Schemas. Our latest enhancements allow you to:
✅ Automate folder hierarchy creation for seamless organization.
✅ Customize metadata models for teams, content types, or workflows.
✅ Ensure standardized metadata across all media assets.
✅ Improve searchability with structured data frameworks.
✅ Optimize data for AI-powered workflows and future scalability.
With our metadata-first approach, we simplify media asset management (MAM), making integration effortless and improving efficiency across your organization.
Why this matters
Metadata is the backbone of media libraries and efficient workflows. As content volume grows, systematic, automated, and accurate cataloging becomes essential—manual processes simply don’t scale.
In an industry that often lacks metadata standards, and where suppliers are increasingly operating across multiple platforms and content types, metadata exchange has become chaotic. This disorganization can slow down workflows, complicate integrations, and reduce overall efficiency.
Moreover, with structured data, integration with other platforms becomes seamless, improving efficiency across your organization. These tools don’t just keep your library tidy; they unlock growth, innovation, and collaboration by making assets more accessible and workflows more streamlined.
Additionally, well-organized data is essential for AI readiness. AI-driven workflows require clean, structured metadata to function effectively. Knox Media Hub ensures your media library is optimized for these technologies, enabling automation without adding complexity.
Finally, these features future-proof your operations. As content volumes expand and distribution channels multiply, Catalog Models and Metadata Schemas provide the scalability and efficiency needed to maintain order, enhance discoverability, and keep your workflows running smoothly.
And there’s more to come! If you are interested in catching up with our roadmap, book a meeting with the team at the show!

Cloud Media Management: a key focus at NAB 2025
The latest DPP report highlights a clear trend: cloud technology and cloud media management is the key to streaming monetization and the operational flexibility the media industry demands for the evergrowing changes and multiplatform delivery. This aligns with NAB 2025’s biggest discussions:
📌 Streaming & Monetization, with a major spotlight on sports streaming, a big driver this year.
📌 Efficiency & Change Management. Media companies are expected to do more with the same resources, making efficiency a top priority. Adapting to industry shifts requires flexible workflows and agile operations. Change management is also becoming critical to ensure teams can transition smoothly into new digital infrastructures.
📌 Diversification. The industry is evolving into a continuous cycle of distribution, repurposing, and reuse. With multiple platforms and consumption habits shifting, flexible and agile technology is key. This edition has also a major spotlight on content creators.
📌 Pragmatic QC. Quality control (QC) in digital distribution is changing. Knox Media Hub is at the forefront: check out our latest Banijay Rights business case to see how we’re streamlining content delivery with Smart Trimming.
📌 Cloud Virtualization. The mature state of cloud technology raises a question: is full virtualization of the media supply chain feasible? (For more on this read the latest DPP White Paper on Cloud Native Distribution, the first in a series, sponsored by Knox Media Hub).
📌 AI for real workflows. The conversation about AI is also more mature and pragmatic. Automation and structured data are far more critical than GenAI for today’s media workflows.
