Steve Ellis, VP of Worldwide Sales at Telestream, said: "As our desktop product line continues to grow, we are now serving more and more customers in these countries. The addition of New Media AV as our master distribution partner in Germany and Spain will help us build on our current success in these regions. New Media AV is a proven distribution leader in the markets we serve. They will enable us to improve both local sales and support services while strengthening our presence and position in these regions."
New Media AV has been distributing hardware and software products to professional video and audio resale channels in Germany and Spain for more than 13 years.

New Media AV is also taking advantage of its long-established logistical and commercial infrastructure to provide premium-level pre-sales and post-sales support for Telestream resellers and customers alike.
Johannes Bauer, MD of New Media AV, sees a great opportunity for combining Telestream's desktop products with the handpicked range of products already in distribution. He said: "Telestream meets the high demand we see among our customers for intelligent, easy-to-use, file-based workflow products. When it comes to digital media workflow solutions, there are no products better suited than Telestream's Pipeline, Flip4Mac, WMV, MXF and Episode desktop products. Telestream customers will also benefit from having direct access to our local-language sales and support teams."
Effective immediately, sales through resellers for the above mentioned desktop products in Germany and Spain will also be managed by New Media AV. Direct end-user online sales at: www.flip4mac.com are unaffected by this relationship.
