Tempo runs on the Vantage media processing platform and Light speed Server, providing unparalleled quality of media assets with no noticeable visual or audible artifacts. Tempo™ is a complete solution for re-timing file-based content and intelligently decreasing or increasing the running time of shows and segments. Tempo utilizes new time compression algorithms that deliver superior quality and faster turn-around times. Running on the Vantage media processing platform, Tempo offers all of the benefits of the world’s best workflow management and transcoding system.
- Tempo is a turnkey system consisting of Tempo software running on the latest Vantage media
processing platform and Telestream Lightspeed Server hardware
- Since it is built on the flexible Vantage serviceoriented architecture, made up of discrete services and connectors
- Tempo can be seamlessly connected to other Vantage or third-party systems to create a powerful automated workflow-all under unified system control
- Tempo can shorten or lengthen an existing asset’s running time from 1% to 10% without noticeable loss of video or audio quality
- Tempo can be controlled through a special Vantage Portal that provides the ability to:
- Drag Vantage clips into a clip palette and view them in a built-in video player that provides for
quick marking of segments to be re-timed.
- Segment long-form clips to set “no-touch” segments that will not be re-timed
- Set an overall content new run time, or time to subtract from an existing asset
- Add a graphic overlay to one or more clips
- Preserve and re-time captions
- Preserve or add Content Rating to the re-timed asset
Tempo can also be controlled in an automated fashion, as it utilizes Telestream’s Post Producer command language which includes new commands that control the re-timing process.
Command language files can be activated with a Vantage Workorder (Excel CSV file) to quickly and efficiently perform batch operations on multiple source files.
