Telestream Ships Tempo
Version 2

T

elestream has released the latest
version of its flagship Vantage
media processing platform with
specific enhancements to its Tempo
time adjustment system.
This
enterprise-class
software
system allows content owners,
producers, and distributors to quickly,
easily and efficiently ingest, edit,
transform, package, monetise and
distribute their media. The Vantage
platform is based on a flexible serviceoriented architecture that is made up
of discrete services and connectors
that combine to create powerful
automated workflows - all under one
unified system control.
First unveiled at NAB 2015, Tempo
is a time adjustment solution that
helps re-time file-based content and
intelligently adjust the running time
of shows and segments. It utilises
new time adjustment algorithms that
deliver superior quality and faster
turn-around times. With a Tempo
system, users have both a retiming

solution and a Vantage node - when
not retiming assets, the Lightspeed
server resources can be used for other
Vantage tasks, thereby maximising
return on investment in production
tools.
Tempo v2.0 includes an enhanced
user interface, which provides
more control over asset timing. VU
meters in the portal player enable
segmenting files on 'silence', whilst
intuitive on-screen markers segment
content visually and provide a 'jump
to' capability. The ability to save and
recall projects allows users to mark
up a file with segments and timing
options, save that as a configuration,
and then recall and load it at a later
time. Also, Tempo v2.0 features
retiming of SCC caption and STL
subtitle files as well as advanced
support for interlaced content.
"We've hit the ground running
with Tempo ever since its launch at
NAB with strong positive customer
reaction," explains Paul Turner, VP of

Tempo: adjust the running time of media assets

Enterprise Product Management at
Telestream. "We can prove a positive
return on investment in a number of
different scenarios - from retiming
assets to suit different advertising
distribution practices to changes
in streaming bandwidth enabling
shorter run times and thereby reduced
charges. It even allows editors to
save time by ignoring precise time
requirements and then using Tempo
to adjust the asset to a specific running
time."
Developed as an integral element
of Telestream's Vantage media
processing platform, Tempo v2.0 is
a complete solution, running on a

Lightspeed K80 Server with Vantage
Transcode Pro.
Within this intelligent software
environment, new compression and
expansion algorithms deliver superior
quality and faster turn-around times.
Simultaneously, new methods of
interpolation adjust the effective
sampling rate of each media stream
in a way that produces no noticeable
visual or audible artefacts.
Alongside Tempo v2.0, Vantage
6.3 includes a number of new
capabilities. It supports more cameras,
provides more control and greater
intelligent operation in camera ingest
applications.
