  • Telestream Pipeline graphic Pipeline HD Dual is the latest model to emerge from Telestream's series of Pipeline network video capture systems. This two-channel hardware encoder captures HD video from SDI tape or live sources and encodes it in real time to leading HD editing formats, including Avid DNxHD, Apple ProRes 422 and Panasonic DVCPRO HD. Pipeline HD Dual encodes multiple HD and SD formats in a single device – providing flexibility in multiformat environments for users' evolving needs. Pipeline is ideal for quickly creating news or highlights packages. When used with Telestream's FlipFactory or Episode Engine, multiple live broadcast feeds can be captured for instant transcoding to other formats. Pipeline provides a cost effective alternative to conventional broadcast server channels for ingesting media into file-based workflows. At NAB, Telestream will demonstrate multiple ways to easily capture video: log/capture from tape, schedule live recordings, crash record, and an API to automate custom, third-party control.

  • Telestream Flipfactory graphic Telestream's enterprise-class FlipFactory workflow automation product transcodes content between a broad range of formats and transfers media files between all the leading professional systems, including broadcast servers, editing systems, automation systems, and storage solutions. Powered by FlipFactory, Telestream's TrafficManager and AdManager for Cable reduce cost and increase efficiency for HD/SD commercial ingest, providing a fully automated, hands-free process – from catch servers to playout servers. At NAB, Telestream will demonstrate more formats and faster speeds — including real time HD-to-HD transcoding on a single server.

  • The entire family of Episode desktop to server transcoding software solutions will also be featured at NAB. Telestream's powerful Episode multiformat encoders and transcoders enable users to cost-effectively increase revenues by converting video and audio for on-demand delivery to the web, mobile phones, iPod and other increasingly popular portable media devices. New at NAB2009 is Episode desktop encoding for both PC and Mac users. Episode Engine transcoding solutions for the Mac scale from a single server to very high-speed distributed server clusters for time-critical needs. Episode Engine is used worldwide, from small studios to the most demanding high-speed, high-volume Mac-based enterprise transcoding environments.

  • Telestream Wirecast banner A new real-time video production software product for Mac and PC users was added to Telestream's product lineup last summer when the company acquired Vara Software Ltd. Wirecast is a desktop application that turns any Mac or PC into a video studio, allowing users to quickly and easily capture live events, create and distribute content for real-time web delivery. Wirecast is useful for a broad range of businesses, including entertainment companies and corporate communications departments. Users can stream multiple live video cameras, while dynamically mixing in other media. Features include chroma key, built-in titles and a layering system. Live Earth, one of the world's largest webcasts, was powered by Wirecast, providing on-demand footage to more than 10 million simultaneous viewers on MSN.com.
