Telestream Vantage

Telestream, a specialist in video
transcoding and workflow automation
solutions, demonstrated its filebased media products, including the
newest version of Vantage,
its
scalable,
softwareenabled media processing
platform. Vantage combines
transcoding, media capture, metadata
processing, analysis, and content
assembly into a unified system - that
can be run on premises or in the
cloud. Vantage allows content owners,
producers, and distributors to quickly,
easily, and cost-effectively ingest, edit,
transform, package, monetise, and
distribute their media.
Show attendees also saw hands-on
demonstrations of the new Vantage
user interface (UI) panel for Adobe
Premiere Pro CC. The panel is designed
to offer Adobe Premiere Pro CC editors
direct access to the Vantage media
processing platform for speed and
efficiency. The free panel allows job
submission to Telestream Vantage
direct from the Adobe Premiere Pro
UI. This seamless integration provides
secure, reliable, bi-directional highspeed transfer of media and metadata
files ingested, processed and delivered
through any Vantage workflow. Editors
can track the progress of any encoding
job on the Vantage server through the
main Premiere Pro user interface.

ToolsOnAir 'TV Station in a Mac
Mini' has set a new standard for
broadcast
video
professionals,
delivering real-world power and
performance in a small and costeffective setup. Together with a multiI/O interface, ToolsOnAir's Broadcast

well as multiple on-air broadcasts.
In addition to enabling multiple
users to stream, analyse, and review
content from anywhere at any time,
the platform supports a range of
applications including compliance,
quality
assurance,
competitive
analysis, production, and repurposing
for multiple platforms and social
media outlets. With these tools,
Media Intelligence Platform users
are equipped to capitalize on new
opportunities to create compelling
content, raise viewer ratings, and
generate new ad revenue.
In addition, the company showed its
new Capture application that allows
broadcasters to capture media from
any source at any time, ingesting
media according to a schedule in real
time and/or via 24/7 recording. The
application supports a fast, simple
edit workflow by enabling the user
to review content as it is captured,
immediately clip high-value content,
and push it directly to editing and
MAM systems without time-consuming
transcoding steps. Because a lowresolution proxy is created along with
the true HD (1080i 25/30, 720p 50/60)
recording, both local and remote users
of the Observer Media Intelligence
Platform - remote staff, partners,
consultants, outside talent, and
reporters in the field - can quickly and
easily collaborate to access, review,
and clip content to create valuable
footage for distribution.

recently
introduced xMac mini Server, a
Thunderbolt-to-PCIe 2.0 expansion
system in a 1RU rackmount enclosure
that holds a Mac Mini, and two PCIe
cards, creating an enterprise-class
rackmount server. The streamlined
system is receiving plenty of attention
from Mac-based production and
broadcast facilities. The xMac mini
Server houses a single Mac Mini, along
with two powered PCIe 2.0 expansion
slots that connect via Thunderbolt

standard PCI video cards, like a
Blackmagic Designs Decklink Quad,
or an AJA Kona 3G. A second PCIe card
slot allows for connection to a RAID
array, network, or other options.
