Telestream's Strategic
Expansion Pays Dividends

Monitoring as a Service
via OptiQ Monitor

place the infrastructure required to
support their live streaming channels
but have no monitoring infrastructure,
especially post-CDN.
A key feature of the OptiQ framework
is the ability to deploy Telestream
technology in any public cloud data
center. Now, Telestream has the
ability with OptiQ Monitor to select
any cloud data center, or as many
as are required, and to specify the
types of monitoring probes that it
wants to push into those data centers.
Then, all the operator does is hit
'go' and everything is automatically
built up to perform robust QoS and
QoE monitoring of a customer's live
streaming channels.
OptiQ
Monitor
allows
users
to observe how their CDNs are
performing
across
multiple
geographies. Also, they can monitor
the performance of video encoders

across their entire distribution
network. If this performance is
sub-optimal Telestream has a fast
and cost-efficient solution: OptiQ
Channel will deliver robust and
efficient live streaming channels as
a service (CHaaS) in a completely dematerialized cloud-deployed way.
Telestream's new OptiQ Monitor
enables users to integrate this level
of video monitoring without needing
to modify anything in their existing
delivery chain.
Building on this through OptiQ
Channel, Telestream can then provide
all the necessary packaging, encoding
and ingest environments to help
customers build high quality live
channels quickly and easily.

IBC debut for PRISM media processing platform

cont'd...

Unique SDI/IP bridging capabilities
For decades, Tektronix Video has
built a reputation for excellence in
broadcast technology research and
development.
Now that it has been integrated
within Telestream, that capability is
being taken into the future. In return,
this brings expanded capabilities to the
Telestream - one particular area being
in the transition to IP-based broadcast
operations.
Whilst IP-based operations are
something that most broadcast and
media organizations aspire to, the
reality of how to cost-effectively
transition from SDI to IP is something
very different. If an organization
has deep pockets then it's not such
an issue, but in today's real-world
economy budgetary constraints can be
a major limiting factor.
But now, the newly enlarged
Telestream has developed an elegant
solution that is firmly rooted in the
real world. At IBC 2019, Telestream
showcased major new functionality
in
Tektronix
Video's
versatile
powerhouse - the PRISM media
processing platform.
PRISM is the industry's first hybrid
IP/SDI media processing platform that
bridges the gap between traditional
SDI and IP media networks and now
comes with a new mixed media card
that enables support of 25GE networks.
This approach allows existing installed
units to be easily upgraded in the field
with simple to install hardware, and
new units with the new mixed media
card an even simpler software update.

Both upgrade routes are available at
the same affordable price.
The addition of the 25GE interface
within PRISM provides support for a
variety of media networks from SD all
the way to 4K HDR and WCG - enabling
the transmission of the new generation
of super high-resolution video and
audio signals.
PRISM has led the way through the
SDI to IP transition. The new 25GE
capabilities of PRISM allow users
to directly connect to, and look at,
uncompressed 4K signals being carried
on IP networks. Users can transition to
this 25GE capability at any time which
de-risks initial purchase decisions and
protects their investment."
PRISM has been designed to meet the
needs of engineering, operations and
content creators on a single platform.
A choice of software options allows
greater flexibility on configuration
and ease of future upgrades. PRISM
is a single box solution from SD to 4K
regardless of it being carried on SDI
or IP. Using the same platform, UI and
measurements across the whole team
enables collaborative working and
faster times to resolution.
Telestream offers the 25GE option
in both PRISM form factors - the 3RU
9-inch full touchscreen, MPI2-25 as
well as the 1RU rasterizer, MPX2-25.
The proven PRISM IP measurements
available in all models. All HDR /WCG
features such as STOP waveform, CIE
Charts, and a variety of False colour
displays can be used for the 4K content
creation that carried through 25GE.
