News Ingest Focus
A focus of Telestream's CABSAT
showcase will be Vantage's capabilities
as a news ingest solution when
integrated with Avid Interplay - a
system solution that has been adopted
by numerous broadcasters throughout
the Middle East region.
Vantage products can be integrated
into a variety of Avid workﬂows, to
support operators utilising simple
standalone edit solutions up to
complex

shared
storage systems. With hundreds of
news stories being received each
day, Vantage automates the creation
of multiple resolutions of media
assets and associated metadata from
content provided by local sources as
well as agencies such as Reuters and
Associated Press.
"The
tight
integration
of
Telestream's Vantage products with
Avid systems enables signiﬁcant
gains in productivity for almost
every type of Avid user, from
small production houses to large
broadcasters
producing
national
news programmes," said George
Boath, Vice President of International
Sales at Telestream. "These dramatic
productivity gains are made possible

by making ﬁle-based import and
export processes faster, more
automated, and less reliant on
operator action."
Focusing on the growing needs
of content owners seeking to
develop multi-platform distribution
architectures, Vantage continues to
include support for more ﬁle formats
across the Vantage Transcode product
family.
