At NAB 2018, Telestream, a global leader in file-based media workflow orchestration, media streaming and delivery technologies, will be demonstrating a range of solutions that seamlessly move content from creation through distribution, while providing quality monitoring and management throughout. As processing and distribution of content in a multi-platform world becomes more complex, it's never been more important to create efficiencies through automation and leverage the scalability of the cloud and virtualisation to maximise revenue.

We're bringing an incredible portfolio of products and solutions to NAB this year. With our recent strategic acquisitions, customers can clearly see how Telestream is uniquely positioned to solve some of the industry's most persistent problems when it comes to monetising their content over both traditional and streaming ecosystems, said Chris Osika, chief marketing officer at Telestream.

Telestream iQ

Visitors to the Telestream booth will see how the company's iQ solutions deliver actionable intelligence at every level of the content delivery lifecycle. iQ solutions ensure audience expectations for video quality are met, validating delivery against Service Level Agreements and compliance obligations. With actionable information and metrics for optimising traffic and cost, Telestream iQ solutions help ensure a good viewing experience, protecting the brand reputations of service, network and content providers. New at NAB: an end-to-end quality assurance solution for multiscreen and OTT video streaming that reaches into the last mile of the adaptive bit rate (ABR) delivery network, monitoring mobile and Wi-Fi access points. Enhancements such as a simplified user interface (UI) and new workflow help users quickly pinpoint the location of quality issues, minimising the time between detection and resolution. It is now even easier to monitor and respond to issues at every location in the delivery chain.

Wirecast

Wirecast, the world's most popular cross-platform, live production software for streaming to Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and many other destinations, will also be on display. Wirecast offers professional multi-camera production, built-in live conferencing with its Rendezvous built-in peer-to-peer conferencing and live graphics and social comment display. Unveiled at NAB, two new cloud-based services for Wirecast, restreaming and ASR live captioning. Restreaming allows users to publish to multiple destinations from a single Wirecast upload stream, saving uplink bandwidth and compute power on the ground. ASR live captioning analyses audio from your stream on-the-fly and embeds live captions in the output stream. Telestream will also demonstrate new Wirecast integrations with X-Keys and MIDI control surface interfaces for faster, more intuitive operation.

Vantage

New for Vantage, the Avid MediaCentral Monitor enables users to manage files in their Avid Interplay or MediaCentral | Production Management systems from within Vantage. Media Composer editors no longer need to spend time exporting sequences out of Media Composer for Vantage to utilise them.

Vantage workflow orchestration and media processing can run on-premises or in the cloud. With Elastic Domain, Vantage has new deployment and licensing options to support rapid scaling. New integration of the Pathfire Automation Connect Protocol allows for TrafficManager support of long-form content, while Brightcove dynamic upload integration has been added for Vantage Social.

Featuring support for industry-leading codecs with simultaneous proxy generation, Lightspeed Live Capture is the entry-point for all live media into any capture workflow or to the Vantage Media Processing Platform, where it becomes an even more powerful ingest solution. At NAB, visitors will be able to see the new easy-to-use web-based GUI and automation and propagation/insertion of metadata variables for any capture workflow. Avid Interplay/MediaCentral support, file segmentation and chunking, plus file-stitching for tape-based media are all supported in the latest version.

Lightspeed Live Stream

For multiscreen live encoding and packaging at scale, Lightspeed Live Stream is Telestream's premiere live encoder for broadcasters and content aggregators.
