Transcoding supplier Telestream, whose FlipFactory product is used by a number of major programmers to convert content among different formats, entered the NAB Show riding strong sales and a slate of new products.

Telestream CEO Dan Castles said the Nevada City, Calif.-based company has enjoyed a record first quarter; revenues for Telestream enterprise products were up 25 percent for the first quarter over the previous year.

Telestream is introducing several products at the NAB Show, the most significant of which is Vantage, an enterprise-class workflow design and automation software system that can manage video capture, transcoding, metadata processing, analysis, graphics assembly and video file management. The companion Vantage Transcode is an enterprise-class server transcoder built on the FlipFactory transcode engine.

“FlipFactory was a transcoding solution that had some workflow in it, while Vantage is a workflow solution that incorporates transcoding as part of that,” explained Telestream Vice President of Marketing Barbara DeHart.

Telestream is also introducing Episode, a video encoding platform, version 4.0 Wirecast live streaming software and Wirecast Pro for creating real-time or on-demand professional video broadcasts for the Web.
