Telestream announces live products suite to address live capture and playback challenges

The demand for flexible, cost-effective, and efficient live content production solutions has never been greater, according to Telestream. Traditional production methods rely on heavy physical infrastructure, which leads to relatively inflexible operations and high costs. The shift towards remote work and decentralised production has emphasised the need for tools that can handle a diverse range of media formats and enable real-time quality control (QC) and collaboration from any location, the company said.

Telestream is set to address these challenges head-on with the introduction of Live Capture as a Service, GLIM as a Service, and the enhanced Live Play 2.0 at the upcoming NAB Show in the US.

Telestream's Live Capture as a Service leverages cloud technology to offer unmatched flexibility and cost efficiency, enabling media companies to dynamically scale operations and reduce overhead. “Live Capture as a Service offers a new approach to live content ingest, making it more flexible and cost-effective than ever before," said Mike Gilson, Chief Product Officer at Telestream.

"By moving live capture to the cloud, we're eliminating the traditional barriers of physical infrastructure, allowing media companies to scale their operations dynamically and pay only for what they use. This not only cuts down on overhead but also opens up new possibilities for content capture and monetisation, ensuring our customers can take full advantage of live production opportunities without the constraints of hardware investments. It's about providing the freedom to capture more, with less."

The rapid review and quality control of media assets, especially in remote and decentralised production setups, is another challenge for media companies. GLIM as a Service delivers a cloud-based platform for instant playback and visual QC, facilitating ultra-responsive review cycles as content is produced. With GLIM, media professionals can view hi-res media remotely in a web browser, no matter where that content is stored. Its compatibility with a wide range of cloud storage options ensures effortless remote access, Telestream said.

GLIM as a Service is a gamechanger for live media production,” said Gilson. "It grants instant access to media, enabling real-time QC and collaboration, crucial in today's fast-paced production environments. Compatible with various cloud storage platforms, GLIM as a Service ensures video professionals can effortlessly review content, regardless of their location or the complexity of their storage solutions. This innovation significantly boosts production efficiency and quality, making it an indispensable tool for anyone facing the challenges of modern, collaborative media workflows."

For newsrooms and live studio productions, seamless integration of live, recorded, and archived content is vital. Live Play 2.0 introduces a dynamic playback solution that accelerates access to content and streamlines the assembly and broadcast of news stories. This enhanced platform allows for the swift organisation of both new and archived content, supporting rapid story compilation with diverse media elements.

In live studio settings, Live Play 2.0 is indispensable for QC, allowing the immediate review of multiple camera feeds. While the integration of the ST 2110 standard is still under development, slated for completion in 2H24, Live Play 2.0 now includes support for the Advanced Media Protocol (AMP), facilitating seamless integration with third-party newsroom control systems (NCS). This addition underscores Telestream’s commitment to improving today’s playback challenges and preparing for the future of IP-based production.

Live Play 2.0 is evolving to meet the immediate and future needs of newsrooms and live studios,” said Gilson. "By introducing AMP protocol support and soon showcasing our new UI with multiviewer capabilities, we’re enhancing our platform’s integration and quality control features. These developments ensure our clients remain at the forefront of a rapidly changing industry, as we continue to work on incorporating the ST 2110 standard for a complete transition to IP-based workflows.”
