Telestream Arrives at ANGA COM with Strategic Advances in Enterprise-Class Live Video Streaming, Video Transcoding & Workflow Automation
Warner Bros. International Television Production Belgium puts Vantage at heart of new large-scale file-based production workflow
Nevada City, California, June 6, 2016 - Telestream (stand 10.1/U35), a leading provider of digital media tools and workflow solutions, arrives at ANGA COM with a host of strategic new product introductions and customer announcements. In the days running up to ANGA COM, Telestream has announced the successful implementation of a large-scale Vantage transcode server, file-based content ingest platform and intelligent workflow automation system at Warner Bros. International Television Production Belgium.
Also at ANGA COM, Telestream will provide European debuts for significant new functionality within its enterprise-class software products.
Lightspeed Live Stream solves the problem of preparing real time content for adaptive bitrate live streaming while Lightspeed Live Capture can independently record multiple channels of SD, HD or a single channel of UHD. Both Lightspeed Live Stream and Lightspeed Live Capture were unveiled to the public at NAB last month. Telestream developed Lightspeed Live Stream in response to increased demand among news, sports, and special event broadcasters to simultaneously push live programs OTT. Lightspeed Live Stream encodes a live program at highest quality and simultaneously streams the output via an origin server or CDN.
Lightspeed Live Capture application can also be installed on the same server to simultaneously capture the source video into Vantage for further processing. Until now, file-based and siloed systems demanded a more serial workflow. By closely integrating the latest parallel file-based open workflows in Telestream's Vantage platform together with the combined CPU/GPU power of the Lightspeed Live server and applications, the fastest possible delivery of all assets is realized.
Another addition to the Vantage platform is an Adaptive Bitrate (ABR) Optimization feature that can significantly reduce delivery bandwidth needs and costs within multiscreen distribution applications. This advanced feature can achieve real-world bandwidth reductions of 25-40 per cent whilst maintaining a premium viewing experience through high quality media distribution.
Timed Text Flip within Vantage is a new closed caption and subtitling service that meets even the strictest internet and TV broadcast mandates for captioning and subtitling delivery. Advanced automation capabilities enable content to be processed faster before being seamlessly integrated into existing Vantage workflows.
Vantage Open Workflows was developed in response to increased demand amongst news and sports broadcasters for OTT services to support multi-screen media distribution. The goal is to provide the news at the same lightening fast speed across a range of devices outside of traditional TV. Within a file-based workflow this presents a challenge since the core data file must be transcoded into several formats in order to be distributed across this broad and ever increasing range of mobile devices.
Vantage Open Workflows enable the user to start generating output before file input is completed. While the idea of performing actions on a growing file isn't new, Vantage Open Workflows takes this capability to a new level by enabling multiple Vantage actions such as Watch/Copy/Flip/Compute to simultaneously be working on a file as it is being ingested. This capability reduces processing time and empowers broadcasters to automatically access content as soon as it starts to enter the file-based workflow and before file ingest is completed. Consequently, the ability to deliver TV broadcasts and multiscreen content simultaneously becomes an achievable, cost-effective task.
Warner Bros Belgium Bases Super Fast File-based Broadcast Workflow on Telestream Vantage
At Warner Bros. International Television Production Belgium's Zaventem-based production facility, Telestream has integrated its Vantage media processing platform to create an innovative file-based workflow where all ingest, transcoding, archiving, media asset management (MAM) and storage are supported.
Designed by Warner Bros. engineers, who worked closely with broadcast systems integrator, VP Media Solutions' broadcast technology specialists, the file-based workflow integrates Telestream Vantage alongside production and MAM systems from Avid and CatDV and an Archive solution from Oracle/Archiware.
The workflow was commissioned around the turn of the year. Within weeks, it was tested to the limit, supporting Warner Bros.' Thailand-based TV production - Temptation Island. Over a four day period, the Vantage system was used to ingest all the rushes of the latest series of Temptation Island - 30 TB of data on at least 750 XDCAM HD discs - to the Avid Isis storage and the CatDV MAM. All assets were re-wrapped from OP1a to OP-Atom during transfer to the correct Avid workspace. At the same time all files were transcoded to H.264 files and ingested in the CatDV MAM system for further browsing and logging. Loggers and directors could access all footage on-premise and also securely in the cloud.
We were facing short production timescales on this project, so the loggers, directors and editors needed to start immediately and as coordinated as possible, explained Jens Clinckspoor, Workflow Designer at Warner Bros. Belgium. I have written a lot of workflows - both for content ingest and output - and I was very impressed by the speed, elegance and versatility of the Vantage platform, which saved us a lot of time in production.
At ANGA COM, we will be demonstrating how Vantage can reduce cost, increase operating efficiency and ultimately profitability
