76 Media Systems

What 76 Media Systems does

76 Media Systems is a Philadelphia-based value-added distributor and channel partner, founded in 2005, that resells EditShare shared storage, media asset management, and backup systems to professional media industry buyers. The firm operates with 1-10 employees and functions as a downstream reseller within EditShare's channel-first distribution model in the United States, with master distributor Midwich sitting between the company and the EditShare OEM. Its customer-facing role is to package, sell, and support EditShare solutions for media companies, broadcasters, post-production facilities, and content creators requiring high-performance collaborative storage and workflow tools.

The product portfolio available to 76 Media Systems centers on EditShare's technology stack, headlined by the EFS (Enterprise File System) shared storage platform with capacity tiers spanning 32TB to 480TB across the EFS 210, EFS 310, and Ultimate EFS 60NL product lines. The platform is complemented by FLOW for media asset management, search, and workflow automation, and MediaSilo, an acquired brand providing zero-trust production security for unreleased content. EditShare's open APIs and extensible integration are positioned as core architectural features, enabling third-party integration across the production chain and supporting on-premise, cloud, and hybrid deployment models. The underlying EditShare technology earned a 2021 Emmy Award for Technology and Engineering from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for cloud-enabled remote editing and project management.

76 Media Systems monetizes through quote-based hardware sales of EFS storage arrays, recurring software subscriptions tied to FLOW and MediaSilo, and ancillary technical support and professional services. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and sales are project-driven, reflecting the enterprise character of the target buyer. Forward-leaning upstream content from EditShare and Midwich on AI-driven workflow automation, zero-trust production, and the AVonAir 2026 end-to-end studio bundle indicates the product surface the channel partner can extend to customers, although 76 Media Systems' own financial scale, headcount trend, and growth trajectory are not disclosed in available source material.
