G8 Telestream Lightspeed Media Server Sets New Standards in Power, Versatility and Environmental Awareness

Telestream, a leading provider of workflow automation, media processing, quality monitoring and test and measurement solutions for the production and distribution of video, has announced a quantum progression in media processing server technology with the introduction of its high-end Lightspeed G8 server.

Several years ago, Telestream raised the bar in media servers with the Lightspeed K80, which offered ground-breaking GPU acceleration for Vantage workflows. Now, just as the K80 comes to end of life, Telestream has created a server system that is superior in many respects. Like the K80, Lightspeed G8 is single RU server, but it packs in an all-new CPU and dual-GPU architecture that is up to 80 percent faster in many media transcode operations. Also, it consumes less than half the power of its predecessor in most use cases.

Lightspeed G8 is specifically designed to optimize Vantage Media Processing Platform workflows, making it the ideal solution for on-premise enterprise media processing of many scales and sizes. The server features accelerated transcoding software, enabling automated content assembly across extensive production and distribution workflows in minimum time.

Lightspeed G8 comes as standard with four 10Gbps network ports. This is double the amount of previous Lightspeed servers, facilitating faster file transfer speeds, especially when users gang-together the ports to achieve 40Gbps.

Lightspeed G8 features several environmentally aware features: the system design requires significantly less cooling, which saves money on energy costs and users may not have to upgrade air conditioning capacity within their plant rooms.

The server features seven available Expansion Drive Bays (10 in total), which reduces the need for expensive external storage solutions, futureproofs for more UHD and HDR production, and offers a RAID OS option for system redundancy. It is designed for easy installation, featuring a shallower box and more compact design with a side-rail mount and less depth in the rack. The Lightspeed G8 is made for easier maintenance, with front-facing USB ports simplifying maintenance routines.

“On-premise media processing workflows still represent a major part of our Vantage video processing operations, so it is essential that we support our user base with a range of server system solutions. Lightspeed K80 is a reliable workhorse in many media facilities worldwide,” commented Scott Matics, Senior Director of Product Management at Telestream. “And now with Lightspeed G8, we have taken the K80 and replaced it with a high-performance server that meets all of today’s media processing needs with plenty of power to handle tomorrow’s increasing media processing demands.”

Telestream Rips Up Rulebook with Launch of Lightspeed Live Capture C2

New dual-channel ingest solution provides unbeatable value: lowest cost access to capture plus Vantage media processing

Last year June, Telestream launched a new two-channel version of its Lightspeed Live Capture system. Aggressively priced, Lightspeed Live Capture C2 offers a fully featured dual channel ingest solution that is targeted at enterprise-scale workflows such as news and professional sports, which rely on remote production and editing capabilities.

Although it is the “little brother” of the Lightspeed Live family, Capture C2 reflects all of the media processing power and workflow automation features that the company has developed in recent years. With this development, the workflows for ingest and media processing that are used for large-scale events are now viable for the smaller and less complex instances.

The new dual-channel ingest solution captures two concurrent HD inputs up to 1080p60 while at the same time generating a low-res proxy of the content. Supporting all major HD codecs, the server provides powerful production tools, such as simultaneous edit-while-capture, transcode-while-capture and deliver-while-capture.

According to Telestream, Lightspeed Live Capture is the only capture portfolio that supports all the common formats, HDR, VTR digitizing, remote production, IP input and delivery to Avid systems, without hardware changes and without compromising capacity. Now, the company has integrated this new server system alongside its flagship software-based Vantage Media Processing Platform. For the first time, the Vantage for Capture option adds transcoding that runs directly on the Lightspeed Live Capture C2 server alongside Live Capture, Live Stream, Avid integration, and more.

Lightspeed Live Capture C2 is the product of a major development initiative within Telestream: it marries ingest and media processing capabilities and solid value for money. Today, Lightspeed Live Capture C2 represents one of the lowest cost ways to buy Vantage and Live Capture together.

The Capture C2 box offers all the software features and functions of larger-scale systems in an economical 2-channel hardware configuration. These facilities include Live Edit sub-clipping of live and growing capture files using an HLS proxy embedded in a user-friendly web-based UI. In addition, Live Play enables live confidence monitoring for QC, and playback from customized playlists. And thirdly, Live Schedule automatically schedules events for capture using an easy-to-use web-based UI.

“Lightspeed Live Capture C2 is a game-changer product that flies in face of convention since it empowers users with all the power and creative potential that Vantage offers on a 2 channel capture server,” says Scott Matics, Senior Director of Product Management at Telestream. “We believe in enabling broadcast and media professionals with technology that makes a difference where it matters – Lightspeed Live Capture C2 makes all the high-end use cases available to everyone.”

NBC OLYMPICS SELECTS ITS LIVE CAPTURE AND HDR PROCESSING PROVIDER FOR ITS PRODUCTION OF OLYMPIC GAMES IN TOKYO

NBC Olympics will utilize Telestream’s Lightspeed Live Capture and Vantage media processing platform to perform a unique, mixed HDR/SDR workflow. This workflow will save significant time and enable editing teams to work on both the SDR and HDR products during the editorial process simultaneously.

The Lightspeed Live Capture systems will receive 1080p59.94 HDR signals from the events and create media simultaneously to two different formats. As the 1080p59.94 HDR is recorded in XAVC Class 100 HDR (Hybrid Log Gamma or HLG) format, Telestream’s Vantage software, running on an array of Lightspeed G6 servers will process the media as it’s growing. SDR versions will be created in XDCAMHD 422 at 1080i59.94. The HDR to SDR conversion will be done through a new advanced color processing pipeline in Vantage utilizing color processing Look Up Table filters (LUTs) that translate HDR (HLG) to SDR (Rec. 709). In real-time, while Lightspeed Live Capture is under record, Vantage will check both HDR and SDR assets into Avid Interplay. The Vantage system provides frame chase editing capabilities of both the HDR and SDR product, allowing Avid operators to edit on the fly from the live files as they are being recorded.

Announcement: End of Support dates for Legacy Vantage Versions

Telestream recommends that customers upgrade to Vantage 8.0 or later as soon as possible. The current Vantage version is 8.0 Update Pack 1, released October 2, 2019. If you have a current maintenance and support agreement, you can download the 8.0 software at no charge. If you are interested in Telestream Support performing the upgrade services, please contact our sales department or Contact IEEI

Modern released versions of Vantage support Secured Version Control, which allows workflows created with an earlier version of Vantage 7+ to continue running that Vantage version’s workflow code. This allows you to upgrade to a new version of Vantage, but leave most of your existing workflows running under the previous Vantage (7) version(s), and upgrade the individual workflows whenever you are ready.
