Flip Transcoding Service
Telestream Cloud Flip is multi-cloud video transcoding service that runs on AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure. It takes your source files, converts them to required output formats, and delivers to your storage. It allows you to easily produce high-quality content for a variety of applications - from mobile to broadcast: H264, H.265 or VP9 for web publishing; HLS & MPEG-DASH with AES/Common Encryption DRM for multi-screen devices; and MPEG-2 TS, XDCAM, AVC-Intra, IMX, Apple ProRes, DNxHD for broadcasting and professional workflows. Flip provides you with the flexibility to process and store your media files in multiple regions, as close to your source files as possible, reducing latency and egress costs. Transcoded media files can be delivered to one of the supported storage options: AWS S3; Google Cloud Storage; Azure Blob Storage; IBM Aspera; (S)FTP; and IBM Cloud Object Storage.
GLIM
Supporting television production and media distribution while teams work remotely brings with it many challenges. A primary challenge with remote work is the ability to see, hear, and understand the technical properties of your media library from afar. At Telestream, we call this media file opaqueness. GLIM was built to solve well known remote work challenges: be a vastly superior experience to the ‘remote desktop/virtual desktop’ playback experience, and to prevent remote employees wasting hours every day downloading mezzanine grade media files. Solving these two challenges significantly reduces the aforementioned media file opaqueness, and ultimately increases productivity. GLIM is a groundbreaking technology that allows users to remotely play mezzanine/professional-grade media files in a web browser. The GLIM engine is built upon our Switch playback and inspection technology and will allow for remote playback of any container/ codec/resolution/fps/audio channel/color space combination in a web browser (Windows or Mac OS and Google Chrome v80+).
iQ Video Quality Monitoring Solution
For OVSPs and CDNs: Your network and its underlying equipment and services must operate flawlessly to provide consistent, high-quality content. iQ solutions let you know when the video quality or network performance are degrading and help you diagnose the root cause to fix the problems as quickly as possible.
For Content Distributors: You need to be able to discover, troubleshoot and fix video problems before your subscribers tune out. iQ Solutions provide the intelligence to know what’s going wrong and what to do about it.
Acquisition: Telestream iQ Solutions are designed to allow you to tap into video and measure the right quality metrics at each point in the video chain.
Inspector® Family: Content inspection at the headend, including encoding and transcoding. Surveyor™ Family: Surveying the delivery performance across the networks that distribute your video.
Collection and Processing: Acquiring data is a critical first step to understanding your video business, but when you are gathering that data from many different points - tens, hundreds, thousands, or even millions in the case of end devices - you need tools to manage and convert that information into knowledge and insight in real time.
iQ video management solutions working with data acquisition elements for the purpose of collecting, processing, and correlating information, so that you can detect, isolate and solve problems quickly.
Business Intelligence and Analytics As an architect, manager or business analyst you may be asking questions like, “how does our video quality compare this year to last?” and “Where should we make our next infrastructure investment?”
These types of questions go beyond real time reporting and correlation. To find answers you'll need to be analyzing a lot of data over a long period of time. The iQ intelligence and analytics solution simplifies your ability to quickly find answers by providing historical reporting and analysis for video quality assurance.

Lightspeed Live recognizes SCTE 35/104 triggers and VANC data to allow for programmatic ad-insertion and content replacement, so you can respect content rights, and monetize more viewing windows. With our new IDR stream conditioning technology, you can be sure that all downstream content replacement and ad insertion will always begin on a full frame and be clean and seamless across all variants.
Unified Live and File-based Workflow:
Lightspeed Live Stream can be combined with Lightspeed Live Capture to record the highest-quality mezzanine files for delivery into file-based workflows. When coupled with our world-leading media processing platform, Vantage, your content can be seamlessly and efficiently conditioned (ads removed, content added, bumpers, branding, captioning, etc.) and delivered to any viewing window, with complete, end-to-end automation.
NEW! Support for Avid Interplay Check-in:
Lightspeed Live Capture allows you to check your captured assets (even if they’re still capturing) directly into Avid or Adobe-based NLE systems. Whether your editors are using Interplay or just Media Composer or Adobe CS, they can grab growing files captured by Lightspeed Live Capture and begin editing right away. No need to wait, no need to change your post-production workflow.
Growing File Record for Open Workflows
Record any source into growing files for instant, ongoing delivery to any production or processing workflow. Record and share edit-ready formats with Avid Media Central, Avid Interplay, Adobe Premiere, Switch, Vantage Social Media Connector, Apple Final Cut Pro and more.

OmniaTools™
Poor quality sound is fatiguing and creates the risk of listeners tuning out. Like a dirty windshield, compromised audio quality obscures the sonic landscape. Details get lost, speech can be more difficult to comprehend, and content can suffer as a result. Omnia processing makes audio more listenable, less fatiguing, and more consistent. If you care about your Podcast content getting through to the listener, you need to care about sound quality.
As more audio is produced remotely and consumed on-demand, the challenge of consistent audio levels is becoming even greater. In fact, it is the number one complaint of podcast listeners!
OmniaTools™ allows you to automatically manage loudness levels on all content and create your signature sound on podcasts, helping you stand out and keep your audience engaged.
This easy-to-use, enterprise-class Windows Service makes it simple to create consistent loudness for all your audio files while improving the quality of the audio.
X-Pert Quality Check
X-Pert Quality Check provides control analysis and assessment of media quality.
Performing tests is simple
The application interface includes several subchapters. Thus, you may easily find what you need. Moreover, the customer needs are satisfied because of the quick and intuitive control provided.
Test Presets for quality tests
Our software includes multiple quality tests:
- Loudness Measurements – ITU-R BS.1770-3, ATSC A/85, EBU R128.
- Color Frames Detection – particularly used to configure up to three colors for this test.
- Frozen Frame Detection – executes tests of the video stream in the content. Besides, you can get instant reports about the duration of the frozen frames.
- Correct duration – namely, compares file duration with the playout duration.
Auto mode quality check
X-Pert Quality Check allows an automatic scan of many source directories. Furthermore, any of the predefined test presets can be related to any settled folder or subfolder.
Success Formula
The user-friendly interface includes an indicator of progress. In short, this is the result of the performed quality tests. Therefore, you will have files, which can be safely produced in X-Pert Playout.

WIREWAX Media Services
With nearly a decade of developing AI and computer vision tools for the world’s number one interactive video platform at WIREWAX, and with another two decades of experience in the video and broadcast space, the team identified ways to leverage the platform’s award-winning image processing technologies in the big media sector too.
Lightning fast; face and object recognition, segmentation, fingerprinting, speech recognition and many other unparalleled tools available in the suite has changed the game for the broadcast and media industry.
Being able to scan entire archives of video assets and create a powerful, digital understanding of videos, programmes and movies with this core technology has enabled large TV and movie studios to leverage data and digital tools and services like never before.
We’ve not met a media business on the planet that doesn’t have a digitised asset problem. Lack of metadata, no understanding of content, zero monetisation capabilities and gigantic and disorganized archives. Not to mention expensive asset management, overpriced syndication and VOD preparation, and notoriously slow and extortionate manual services.
