and delivery technologies, will use

streaming and monitoring solutions,
including strategic advances in video

"Video streaming - both live and ondemand - is an increasingly important
component of broadcast operations
worldwide. The MENA region plays
host to many progressive broadcasters
and media service providers, so
CABSAT provides us with a fantastic
opportunity to engage with this
important audience," commented
Scott Murray, VP of Marketing at
Telestream. "The expanded Telestream

digital media toolkit, one that helps
our customers manage their video

streamlining operations and ensuring
the highest quality. We look forward to

or delivering content.
This year, Telestream
will
spotlight
new
developments in highend
enterprise-scale
streaming
solutions.
These
include
enhancements to its
Lightspeed Live Stream
and Lightspeed Live
Capture and the iQ
End-to-End monitoring
solutions
which,
altogether,
enable
Telestream customers to stream any
content to any audience, at any level
of resolution, with assurance that it is
meeting the highest quality standards.
Live Capture And Production
Over Standard IP
A
new
integration
utilising
Telestream Vantage Media Processing
Platform and Lightspeed Live Capture
along with IBM Aspera FASPStream
enables high-quality streaming to
remote production teams for near
real-time editing and production over
standard IP networks. The integrated
solution allows creative teams to
begin working on a live capture feed
delivered from a remote location
(across the country or around the
world) while the event is taking place,
without waiting for the entire file
to be first written to disk and then
transferred. Transcoding, packaging,
editing and other downstream
workflows can start immediately,

Video Quality Monitoring
And Analytics Solutions
In its first CABSAT since acquiring
IneoQuest, the global leader in video
quality monitoring and analytics
solutions for content distribution
across managed and unmanaged
networks, Telestream will demonstrate
how the IneoQuest iQ product line
extends high-quality Telestream media
production and distribution from the
point of content ingest
right up to the point
of
consumption
on
traditional and mobile
devices.
New tools for live
streaming and VOD
best practices will be a
key focus as strategies
for OTT delivery and
monetisation
become
essential considerations
for anyone creating Telestream Vantage

significantly shortening the production
cycle and increasing the value of the
produced content. Vantage now has
direct integration with Avid Interplay,
and enhanced support for growing files
for MXF OP1A, Quicktime, and TIFO.
End-To-End Conditioning,
Packaging, And Monitoring
As audiences move to more
viewing platforms, content owners
and distributors must optimise
programming to each distinct viewing
window, preserving rights agreements
that may be in place, and ensuring
a quality viewing experience. The
latest enhancements to Telestream's
Lightspeed Live Stream make content
readily available for OTT consumption
and revenue-optimised simultaneously
with linear broadcasts, resulting
in increased revenue and greater
audience engagement.
iQ monitoring solutions give
distributors a window
into
the
media
distribution
chain,
detecting faults in the
delivery networks before
customers are affected,
ensuring
quality
is
maintained to the point
of delivery.
Lightspeed
Live
Stream enabled content
responds to embedded
content
replacement

triggers
(SCTE-104/35
messages) in the source
video, enabling ad and
content insertion at the
server side. Lightspeed
Live Stream can also
condition the stream
with SCTE 35 cue points,
so that content and
ads can be inserted
further
downstream
to an audience more
specifically with targeted
ads and other relevant
content. The net result is increased
revenue and greater audience
engagement for live linear content
streaming to new media and online
video platforms (OVPs).
iQ solutions address the need of
content distributors to understand
their network's performance, and
quickly detect, identify, and resolve
problems that could impact a
significant number of viewers. Active
monitoring at various points of the
delivery network allows for rapid
fault detection and troubleshooting.
iQ ABR monitoring ensures that the
content origin is operating properly
and that delivery networks, including
third-party CDNs and access networks,
are performing to expectations.
iQ solutions can be deployed
across cloud-based and virtualised
infrastructures, and monitoring can
be dynamically adjusted as needed to
better isolate root cause and provide
early warning.

both live and on-demand
- is an increasingly
