News Image
Telestream has purchased UK-based Quality Control (QC) technology specialist Vidcheck.

As a provider of digital media tools and workflow solutions, Telestream said it will build on Vidcheck's success to expand its global reach as well as its sales and market presence.

Established in 2009, Vidcheck is recognized as a leading developer in automated QC solutions within file-based production workflows. Its system solutions are used by broadcasters, facilities and content owners worldwide, such as ITV, BBC, CBS and many others.

Dan Castles, CEO of Telestream, said: "Vidcheck's team and product portfolio line up very well with our area of expertise.

"It is not just some great technology and products that we are acquiring but also a gifted, talented and passionate team that will reinforce our resources here at Telestream. We look forward to leveraging our combined know-how to offer our worldwide customer base an even more complete and exciting product portfolio."

Thomas Dove, CEO of Vidcheck, added: "Telestream is a great home for Vidcheck, technically, commercially and culturally.

"The companies have complementary technologies which will feed into both product ranges, the most obvious being the perfect fit of Vidchecker auto QC with Vantage.  With Telestream's sales and support reach, Vidchecker will naturally be available to a much wider set of customers, particularly in North America. Being part of Telestream provides a great launch pad for the next phase of growth for Vidcheck."

The newly combined company will be at IBC2016 on Stand 7.B26.
