(05/09/2014) Telestream (IBC stand 7.C12), the leading provider of digital media tools and workflow solutions, will use IBC2014 to preview Wirecast 6.0, the latest version of its popular live streaming software, slated for release later in Q4. With new powerful production capabilities, streamlined workflows, and expanded content source options, Wirecast 6 has the capabilities of more expensive hardware solutions with the flexibility and affordability of a software application.
Wirecast 6 is packed with many valuable new features for our users it's our most ambitious release yet, said Barbara DeHart, VP of Desktop Business at Telestream. Wirecast 6 offers functionality previously only found in hardware switchers at a much higher cost. This facilitates even higher quality production for sports and live event broadcasters, houses of worship, educational institutions, and anyone aspiring to begin live streaming.
Wirecast Pro 6.0 adds a powerful Replay capability allowing capture and replay of clips during live production with the ability to slow down, speed up or scrub across the clip and find the exact moment to show. Replay is perfect for sports broadcasters or anyone who wants to reshow portions of a live broadcast.
A new Playlist feature in Wirecast 6.0 provides live event broadcasters more powerful tools to structure their broadcast workflows. Playlists allow drag-and-drop queuing of multiple videos, images, audio or live shots to perfectly automate broadcasts, add commercial breaks, or stream archived content during off hours. Playlists can also be used to rotate live camera views.
For adding user-generated content to live broadcasts, Wirecast 6.0 includes iOS device support and social media feeds. Users can bring in live feeds from iOS devices via Wi-Fi. Social Media support has been added so that Twitter messages can be overlaid directly on output. To maintain control, operators can easily search and select only the Tweets they wish to display.
Also new is support for the NewBlueFX Titler Pro plugin (sold separately) giving Wirecast users infinite title styles and templates for getting started quickly. For sports broadcasts, users can add custom skins to Wirecast scoreboards with personal graphics and logos.
Additional enhancements of Wirecast 6.0:
Support for the latest 64-bit Windows and Mac OS releases means improved performance and fewer memory limitations.
Program productions to run 24x7 workflows automatically
Audio Preview allows users to check audio before it goes live
More keyboard shortcuts for faster switching, shot set-up, and production
Recoverable file-format ensures that even if your system crashes, you can recover your recording up to the moment of the crash.
Mac Retina Display support at 2880 x 1800 resolutions
Our commitment to Telestream products has proven to be our best ally on our path to success as a Live Event Production and Multimedia Development Company, says Hugo Simoes, Multimedia Developer at Wirestream Media and a beta tester for Wirecast 6. With Wirecast version 6, Telestream continues to lead the way in live streaming production. Some of the most exciting features for us include 64-bit support to ensure efficient computer performance; Replay to allow us to switch in important live segments right from the interface; and the ability to create Playlists on the fly.

Telestream Announces Strong Growth in File-based Workflow Enterprise Operations40 Percent Increase in Global Sales Revenue for its Vantage Transcoding and Workflow Automation Systems; Announces Collaboration with Apple, Adobe, Microsoft & Avid
Against a background where numerous large manufacturers appear to be struggling and a host of smaller companies have been the subject of acquisitions and mergers Telestream will arrive at IBC 2014 reporting strong revenue and profitability growth.
A slew of new products have fuelled this growth in every geographic region worldwide with strong growth being experienced in North America, closely followed by Europe. Having an enviable track record of posting profitable growth for the last 14 years, Telestream now reports that sales of its flagship Vantage transcoding and workflow automation systems increased by more than 40 percent last year.
The company's CEO, Dan Castles, believes that its success can be attributed, in part, to Telestream' s long track record of innovation in the file-based workflow space and understanding what the company can and cannot offer to customers. The majority of its management team has been with the company since its inception, and this stability is reflected in the consistent adherence to a strategy that has drilled down deep within the file based workflows. Telestream customers appreciate the company's commitment to being their trusted partner for the long haul through the transition from baseband to file-based workflows.
Telestream's growth built on consistent customer focus
Telestream offers its customers a very clear proposition, stated Dan Castles. We were one of the first companies to develop file-based workflow solutions as long ago as 1998 and today, our products reflect many hundreds of man years of development in this area. We are financially very solid and this has allowed us to stick to our strategies and not be tempted to chase opportunities that may bring in short term results, but distract us in the long term from execut
