This year, Telestream hit Las Vegas for the NAB Show with the next great leap ahead in video processing: LightSpeed.
Incorporated into the company's two new Vantage transcoding products,
Vantage 4 and Vantage Transcode HE Server, LightSpeed delivers five times greater performance to the Vantage product lines. LightSpeed is a key strategic investment for Telestream as a company from an acceleration point of view. Vantage is the first recipient of that technology. It delivers extremely fast, high-quality H.264 video. Vantage 4.0 also expands its workflow automation capabilities, with new loudness and Accessibility Act Web caption support, greater support for Avid production workflows, and Screen subtitling and captioning workflows. Vantage 4.0 introduces LightSpeed Telestream LightSpeed video acceleration technology uses the power of OpenCL to provide the highest quality images at the fastest possible speed. LightSpeed is architected for massively parallel GPUs, including AMD and NVidia, and multicore CPUs, inlcuding AMD and Intel. This allows Vantage 4.0 to accelerate video processing and H.264 encoding. LightSpeed technology is available in the optional new Vantage LightSpeed Accelerator, a 1RU (rack unit) transcoding server that improves performance up to five times. All Vantage Transcode products can be run on a LightSpeed Accelerator for the fastest possible throughput. Loudness compliance Vantage 4.0 and FlipFactory 7.3 now support loudness monitoring and control as a step in the automated file-based transcoding process. As files are prepped for delivery, loudness measurement and correction are accomplished in the same pass. New Web access Vantage transcoding user interfaces and Web workflow portals are now available from any Web browser. Deep system integration Vantage 4.0 brings a new advanced Avid option to users. This includes encoding and delivery to Avid Interplay without requiring TransferEngine and a new Avid Web Services interface for creating assets, adding media and metadata updates. Deep Vantage 4.0 integration with Screen MediaMate allows a range of new workflows for open and closed subtitling and captioning for television and Web delivery.
