Consistent Audio Levels Are Needed for TV Channel Streaming with Wowza Media Server

Posted by Derrick on September 25, 2010 under Video Streaming and Compression | Be the First to Comment

Consistent audio levels are needed for TV Channel Streaming with Wowza Media Server. This is something that you have to keep in mind when encoding On-demand Streaming video content for your On-line TV Channel.  The key will be making sure you are setting proper audio levels during the video production process.  Then your video compression techniques and filters need to stay consistent every time you’re performing your encodes.

Outside of the video encoding process if you choose to insert Live Streaming events within your channels you need to ensure that your audio levels match.  Performing testing before your channel goes live will help with this.  Once your audio levels are set properly in your live encoder save your settings and keep them the same for every Live Streaming event.  These techniques will help to make sure you have consistent audio levels for your TV Channel Streaming with Wowza Media Server.

If you’d like to gain an even better understanding of Wowza Media Server 2 make sure you attend one of our  1-Day Wowza Media Server 2 Training classes.  Call Freeman Compression Inc. at 407.477.5837 for more information or E-mail us at info@freemancompression.com.

Telestream Joins Major Industry Leaders to Offer Video Transcoding Support for WebM

Posted by Derrick on May 25, 2010 under Video Streaming and Compression | Be the First to Comment

Telestream, a leading provider of digital media tools and workflow solutions, announced broad support for the WebM project along with Google and other industry leaders. The new WebM open web media format, based on the VP8 open source video codec, will be available at no additional charge in all Telestream video encoding, transcoding and workflow products, including FlipFactory, Episode and recently announced Vantage.

“A key factor in the web’s success is that its core technologies are open and freely implementable. Video is fundamental to the web experience, and developers and content publishers need an open video format option,” said Mike Jazayeri, Group Product Manager at Google. “We are excited Telestream is joining a broad coalition of industry leaders supporting the WebM project to bring a new era of open innovation in web video.”

WebM is a flexible format that provides high-quality video across resolutions and bitrates to support a variety of viewing devices. Computational efficiency enables smooth video playback on low-power devices such as netbooks and mobile phones. WebM is optimized for the web and network video delivery, providing fast video starting and seeking within videos. VP8 is based on 10+ years of innovation in video compression by On2 Technologies. Its predecessors have been installed over two billion times, making it proven technology. Google gained access to the VP8 video codec when it acquired On2 Technologies earlier this year.

“Telestream has extensive experience optimizing and deploying On2 technologies and is uniquely positioned to bring the new WebM format to the video consumer, enterprise, media and entertainment markets,” said Barbara DeHart, VP of Marketing at Telestream. “We are excited to join Mozilla, Opera, Google, YouTube, and other software and hardware manufacturers in the WebM project.”

Telestream provides the broadest and deepest video and audio transcoding format support on the market today for desktop to server, Mac and Windows systems. Telestream video compression products support more than 120 digital media formats and wrappers, including WMV9, H.264, VC-1, Flash 8, VP6, MPEG-2, and 3GPP. In addition, Telestream video transcoding and workflow products support direct integration with leading third-party systems, allowing users to create and distribute content to virtually any platform or viewing device.
