TelestreamWhat’s New at NAB 2022Media Processing & Workflow AutomationEnterprise software and systems fortranscoding, captioning, QC, and livestreaming Vantage 8.1 Update Pack 1 is the latest release that includesseveral enhancements to Vantage actions and cloud-enabledworkflows. Vantage has added support for Signiant Media Shuttle with anew connector, FrameFormer framerate conversion that doesnot need a GPU, and a new Transform flip action for customVantage solutions that leverage Telestream Cloud. Also new,additional integrations and connectors include support forFrame.io, Alchemist, and DIVA. Vantage Transcode Multiscreen has added GPU-acceleratedH264 and HEVC encoding utilizing Nvidia NVENC, whichmeans the same quality can be achieved in much less time, andextended CMAF capabilities that include SCTE 35 ad insertionand support for multi-language subtitles. Vantage Media Processing Platform supports Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos including new support for a Dolby Vision tostandard dynamic range (SDR) filter. Vantage also now supportsHDR10 . Vantage now has additional transcoding capabilities includingsupport for FFV1, Grass Valley HQ/HQX (Canopus), DVCProand DVCPro HD, and AS-11. Vantage can also now produceOmneon-compatible outputs. DEMO CardAgent for Vantage – job submission tool whichallows non-technical staff to prepare media files for processingby a Vantage workflow. Optional color processing filter from Colorfront is now availablefor Vantage Flip64. Switch 5 adds improved performance, Reduced FrameDecoding, ProRes RAW playback (Pro), IMF/DCP Packageplayback (Pro) & more. Switch is based on the TelestreamMedia Framework, which means new releases keep up with thelatest advancements in containers and formats as they areincluded in the framework. GLIM 2.0 has a brand new UI that puts video front andcenter to the user experience. There is also a zoomable timeline with selectable overlays such as GOP, SCTE 35/104,and Nielsen watermarking. GLIM 2.0 also includes a techpreview of a luma scope. Lightspeed Live Capture has been updated with a2-channel 12G SDI option, and a 25G 2-port ST 2110option. Sub-clipping based on GLIM is also a new option. Lightspeed Live Stream now has support for CMAFpackaging and SRT output. ContentAgent v3.12 supports IMF packaging, GPUaccelerated BMD RAW decoding and Codex HDE ARRIRAW processing, and several other enhancements. ContentAgent Server now available. Housed in a 1 RUchassis, ContentAgent Server reduces rack space, powerand cooling requirements while meeting processingdemands with ease. Stanza is a totally new software application for creating andediting captions and subtitles using a multi-platform,browser-based user interface. Stanza is sold as asubscription, which makes it economical for operations of allsizes. Stanza, when used with Telestream Cloud Timed TextSpeech, enables automated transcription workflows withhigh accuracy. Stanza also integrates with Timed Text Flipfor advanced captioning workflow automation.

TelestreamWhat’s New at NAB 2022Telestream CloudA cloud-native platform for professionalgrade services for transcoding, QC, andspeech-to-text transcription Qualify is a brand-new cloud-native QC service thatcombines the best of Vidchecker and Aurora madeavailable in Telestream Cloud, which means this newservice is a combination of the technology obtained fromthree Telestream acquisitions. Qualify is also built upon theTelestream Media Framework, which means new releaseskeep up with the latest advancements in containers andformats as they are included in the framework. Transform is a cloud-native transcoding service made fordevelopment teams creating their own workflows.Transform is built upon the Telestream Media Framework,which means the transcoding and media processingtechnology within the service has been tested in the mostdemanding broadcast workflows, and that users do notneed to be experts in the myriad of formats and containersin use worldwide.Video Test and SynchronizationSoftware-defined hybrid SDI/IP waveform monitorplatform for engineering and production PRISM MPS and MPD Series, small form-factor WaveformMonitors expand the platform family with multiple inputsand fast IP switching. Flexible enough to support both HDand UHD as well as SDI and IP in the same instrument,and with applications serving the needs of bothengineering and production users, the expandedfamily of PRISM instruments maximizes thereturn on the investment for users across themedia chain from production to distribution. Thenew MPS and MPD models consume minimal rack spaceand are shallow enough to fit perfectly into the tightlyconstrained space available in live productionenvironments like trucks. With a mechanical design thatuses low-noise fans for cooling, the new PRISM familymembers are quiet enough to sit in edit suites and evenpostproduction rooms.Because these are software-defined instruments, it’spossible to start economically and to enlarge the featureset as the user’s needs change. It’s also easy to adapt themounting for these instruments for specific applications, toaccess the complete user interface remotely over awide-area network, to control PRISM with an easy-tounderstand API, and to seamlessly integrate theinstruments with Telestream’s new Inspect 2110 monitoringsolution.Page 2Accurate, resilient timing and synchronizationfrom a company that knows videoAs important as easily diagnosing problems is the possibility ofavoiding them in the first place. Many common challenges thatPRISM helps to analyze surround timing and the specificissues that result from multiple streams and multiple protocols.For that reason, along with PRISM’s diagnostic capabilities, afacility design and implementation that begins with the mostaccurate, resilient timing solution possible, is crucial. Therefore,along with PRISM, the SPG8000A hybrid SDI/PTPsynchronization generator and its companion ECO8000changeover round out our future-proof solutions for SDI, IP,and hybrid facilities. Together, these instruments ensuretechnical success throughout the IP transition.Expanded Monitoring Coverage into ProductionNetworks In transitioning from SDI to IP, engineers and operatorslose visibility of the high volume of activity on their networkand the continual changes to their content. Inspect 2110provides the required visibility by monitoring content andkey parameters on ST 2110 and ST 2022-6 networks. Itoffers monitoring by exception to alert users with warningsand alarms. It is an essential and trusted tool forEngineering, System Integration, and Operations teamsbecause it monitors your networks in the background 24/7.It makes users more productive because they can focuson doing their jobs without being bothered unless there isan issue. The Inspect 2110 probe ensures systemsynchronization, that correct content is present, redundantsystems are the same and optimal network performance isachieved. Inspect 2110 also verifies that your SDP files arecorrect and can look at your content by checking formats,resolutions, bitrates, and frame rates to ensure streams arecorrect, contain valid content, and are error-free. With itscustomizable dashboard and video/audio playout, Inspect2110 enables users to be focus on resolving issues byproactively detecting issues for them and directing themright to the area requiring investigation.With our direct one-click integration, PRISM serves as acompanion diagnostic tool to let staff quickly jump intoin-depth analysis with a click of the “view in PRISM”button. This automatically launches and configures PRISMto view the stream in question, allowing you totroubleshoot your media network with speed, agility, andprecision.
