Telestream has unveiled several improvements to its flagship Vantage platform. Qualify Action QC supports on-premise, hybrid and cloud deployments. It seamlessly integrates the capabilities of both Aurora and Vidchecker to enable the full range of quality, compliance and integrity capabilities as a single Vantage action. Vantage now automates time-based metadata and summary extracts, while a new integration between DIVA and Vantage streamlines archive and discovery processes. Integration between Vantage and next-generation, cloud-centric MAM solutions like iconik enables customers to bring the latest MAM functionality to their content repository.
In terms of ingest, media processing and playout, advanced GRID processing allows users to split complex transcodes across Vantage nodes. Faster task completion is said to reduce time-to-delivery while simultaneously boosting operational capacity. Meanwhile, the latest Vantage Lightspeed Servers reportedly deliver up to a 30% performance boost in media processing over the previous generation. Standard features include dual 800GB NVMe SSDs in RAID1 for the OS and dual 1.92TB SSDs for media storage.
Purpose-built for live production, the manufacturer’s Lightspeed Live Servers for Play support SDI (3G/12G) and ST 2110 (10/25G, SR/LR), offering configurations of up to eight channels in HD and four channels in UHD in a 1U form factor. Feature highlights include playout of any format back-to-back, AMP protocol support for std control, customisable APIs for advanced integration and a 15–30TB SSD storage range.
The SPG9000 software-defined sync pulse and test signal generator has also been upgraded to include PTP capture for debugging difficult PTP configuration issues, while secondary reference allows users to add a precision secondary reference clock to guard against loss of satellite for PTP grandmaster applications.
The manufacturer’s Argus centralised video monitoring solution for video distribution networks now includes expedited troubleshooting with new Monitoring Groups and live video, audio and caption monitoring for faulty signals.
In brief, intoPIX has announced the integration of its JPEG XS technology into Telestream’s Prism waveform monitors. This collaboration is said to enhance real-time monitoring for ST 2110-22 IP workflows, enabling broadcasters and production studios to transition smoothly from SDI to IP while maintaining image quality and low latency. Additional Prism updates include user-configurable 3D LUT and enhanced HDR production tools.
