Telestream Adds 12G & ST 2110 Support To Lightspeed Live Capture

Telestream claims its 12G and ST 2110 support positions Lightspeed Live as “clear market leader”.

Launched in 2019, Lightspeed Live Capture targets broadcast engineering and operations personnel who need to capture content from tape or from live event production scenarios. It has been used at global sports events such as the FIFA Men’s & Women’s World Finals in Russia and France. At the Tokyo Games it was used by several broadcasters.

For many 4K/UHD workflows, up to 4x 3G-SDI connections can be used to carry and create a full 4K/UHD image. 12G-SDI simplifies that with transmission of the full 4K signal across a single 12G-SDI cable (12G-SDI is 11.88 Gbps, ST 2082). SMPTE ST 2110 is a major contributing factor in the movement toward one common IP-based mechanism.

“This new functionality is a product of customer requests,” comments Scott Matics, Snr Director of Product Management at Telestream. “In particular, the move towards IP-based production workflows is gaining momentum and this development places Lightspeed Live Capture in the vanguard of live IP production scenarios.”

With this new functionality, Lightspeed Live Capture represents a scalable, automated, multichannel IP and SDI capture solution for ingesting live or tape-based media directly into production, post- production, and broadcast workflows, Telestream says. The product processes video in 16-bit space to preserve total source quality and it records in a wide variety of mezzanine file formats for delivery to local shared storage, SAN, NAS, object storage (S3), FTP, Aspera and more.

“The ability for broadcasters and OTT service providers to live stream over IP at scale with equivalent resilience and efficiency to linear broadcasts is becoming a critical business driver,” commented Matics. “These new strategic enhancements to LightSpeed Live Capture highlight our efforts to support customer needs with orchestrated IP workflows within larger content delivery ecosystems.”
