of Module-R. The Module-R range
is also well thought out in terms of
cable ducting, equipment access
and ventilation."

Telestream GLIM 'Plays The Unplayable'
T
elestream has announced the
introduction of its new GLIM remote
media player. Designed for ingest QC,
engineering, master control, news,
post-production, and more, GLIM
enables media professionals to play
full resolution, mezzanine grade media
files from their centralized storage
over the Internet from a Web browser.
"Without GLIM, seeing, hearing
and understanding the technical
properties of media libraries from
remote locations has been nearly
impossible. With GLIM, you can now
play the unplayable," said Scott Matics,
Director of Product Management,
Telestream. "Our customers tell us

The GLIM remote media player

they've wanted a product that could do
this for years."
GLIM was built to solve well known
remote work challenges where remote
employees waste hours every day
downloading mezzanine grade media
files just so they can be played back.
Many collaborative video production

applications require transcoding prior
to uploading to the site. GLIM allows
users to play files immediately, from a
browser interface, without any delays
caused by transcoding and uploading.
It
supports
playback,
frame
scrubbing & stepping and display of
file properties and metadata. The
GLIM playback experience is vastly
superior to remote and virtual desktop
techniques.
The GLIM engine is built for remote
playback of common broadcast quality
containers, codecs and resolutions
including varying frame rates,
audio channels and colour space
combinations.
