Telestream Showcases New Time Adjustment Solution At NAB 2015

Telestream will showcase Tempo, a new time adjustment solution for re-timing file-based content, for the first time at NAB 2015 (booth SL3305).

Tempo uses new time compression algorithms to increase quality and turn-around times.

"For content owners and distributors, adjusting the run time is important as it creates additional revenue opportunities and decreases distribution costs," said Shawn Carnahan, Telestream CTO.

Tempo intelligently interpolates the desired time change over the duration of the content without noticeable visual or audible artifacts. It can adjust an existing asset’s running time from 1% to 10% without any perceived loss of video or audio quality. Tempo can also re-time the complete asset, including video, audio, and captions.

"Syndicated content duration from the 1950s through the 1970s was longer than the typical syndicated content from the modern broadcast era. This presents problems in fitting these longer length programs into current ad-block alignments. Tempo is an ideal solution for aligning the timing of this content," Mr Carnahan said.

Tempo runs on the Vantage media processing platform and Lightspeed Server and can be seamlessly integrated with other Vantage or third-party systems to create an automated workflow. It can be controlled through a special Vantage Portal or in an automated fashion.

Available for purchase in Q2-2015, Tempo will be sold as a turnkey system that includes Tempo software running on the latest Vantage media processing platform and Telestream Lightspeed Server hardware.
