AI-native post-production scheduling and operations platform, Freispace, has announced the launch of Physical Media Tracking “the most comprehensive module created for freispace to date.”

The new module debuts at IBC in September.

Physical Media Tracking gives post-production facilities a single, centralised system to manage all physical media moving through their facility, from client ingest drives and camera cards to LTO archive tapes.

The module was developed after an analysis of real-world ingest workflows across post-production houses, “identifying the gaps, friction points, and lost-media incidents that plague facilities when physical media is tracked in spreadsheets, whiteboards, or separate systems.”

“Physical media are the lifeblood of every post-production facility. It’s how projects literally arrive at your door. Yet for years, teams have been tracking drives and LTO tapes in spreadsheets, on whiteboards, or in systems that don’t talk to the rest of their operation,” said Leonardo Re, CEO and Founder of freispace. “With Physical Media Tracking, we’ve developed the module our customers have been asking for: a single source of truth for every piece of media that enters or leaves a facility, fully integrated with the scheduling and workflow engine they already use every day. It’s the most comprehensive module we’ve ever shipped, and it directly addresses the ingest pain points we kept hearing from post houses. We’re proud to launch it at IBC 2026, alongside the global community that’s shaping the future of media production.”

Physical Media Tracking joins freispace’s existing suite of post-production modules — resource management, project planning, task management, financial features, time recording, and sustainability tracking, all within the AI-native platform. The module is available starting September 2026 as an add-on to freispace subscriptions.
