T

elestream will launch its innovative
Post Producer system at IBC.
The system is a post-production
and delivery engine that automates
repetitive production processes,
which would otherwise tie up editors
and NLE workstations.
Based on user templates, Post
Producer assembles a segment or
spot, compositing video, graphics,
titles and captions or subtitles, and
applying audio processing as required.
Alternate versions are automatically
created by simply substituting the
necessary elements. Running on the
latest version of Vantage 6 software,
Post Producer will be available for
purchase prior to IBC.
“One of the major pain points in
ﬁle-based workﬂows is the repetitive
rendering of different versions of
media for today’s multi-language,
multi-platform distribution,” said
Paul Turner, VP Of Enterprise Product
Management at Telestream. “Post
Producer addresses this issue,

formats such as RED RAW, by adding
Dolby E encoding, and 24 to 25
frames per second audio conversion.

The new Post Producer product
and these new features will be

transcoding and ﬁle-based workﬂow
automation products.

Zylight To Showcase F8 LED Fresnel At IBC
Z

ylight will showcase its range of
LED instruments, including the
new F8 LED Fresnel, at IBC.
Available in 3200K or 5600K
versions, the compact F8 folds ﬂat
– collapsing to less than four inches
thick – for easy transport and storage.
With a CRI (Colour Rendering
Index) of 97 or better, the fully
dimmable F8 offers an adjustable
beam spread (16 to 70 degrees)
for even coverage for widescreen
productions. It maintains single
shadow traditional Fresnel beam
shaping through an eigh t-inch
SCHOTT glass lens, and offers a
patented focusing system for spot

and ﬂood operations.
“We’ve designed the F8 to be a
versatile, rugged light for studio
and location work,” said Joe Arnao,
President of Zylight. “It’s bright like
an HMI but better suited for runand-gun news ENG
applications - you
just snap on a
battery and go. In the
studio, the F8 saves
space and costs
less to operate than
traditional Fresnels.”
Zylight claim that
the F8’s LED engine
with quantum dot

technology provides a cooler, more
energy efﬁcient light than traditional
Fresnel instruments, but does not
compromise performance.
While it draws only 100 watts,
Zylight claim that it has close to
the light output of a traditional
1000W Fresnel.
It is also water
resistant (IP54) for use
in challenging location
conditions, and can be
powered by a worldwide
AC adapter or standard
14.4V camera battery.
