Avid's NEXIS media storage and editing pool solution requires a license to function and integrate with Avid's software products. NEXIS solutions with an F-series component require either a perpetual modular engine license or subscription capacity license, whereas NEXIS | SDA+ solutions require a standard or advanced subscription capacity license. E-series component licensing is deterministic based on capacity needs and system configuration. | Avid's NEXIS media storage and editing pool solution requires a license to function and integrate with Avid's software products.

=== Proprietary Solutions === | |||
* '''DigiLink Mini''' (HD/HDX Family digital interface connector) | |||
* '''EUCON [Extended User Control]''' (Closed system of software and hardware integration, 3rd parties may integrate EUCON components into their applications but Avid manufactures the hardware and software control is one sided [EUCON controls software, but software cannot]) | |||
* '''Avid DNx codec [formerly DNxHD and DNxHR]''' (Lossy post-production codec used for multi-gen video compositing with reduced storage and bandwidth limits; tailored for the pro video space in cinematography and broadcast) | |||
* '''AAX Plugin Format [Avid Audio eXtention]''' (Exclusive plugin container format for Pro Tools and Media Composer, superseded the proprietary RTAS (Realtime AudioSuite) and TDM (Time-division multiplexing) formats) | |||
