Case Study: Pop Media Networks, LLC achieves a 125% throughput increase and a competitive edge with Telestream Vantage

Pop Media Networks Gains Competitive Edge in Today’s Challenging Mediascape with Telestream’s Vantage Media Processing

Pop Media Networks, a growing entertainment service that produces roughly 400 hours of original and syndicated programming and reaches over 80 million viewers, needed to replace an end-of-life transcoding platform. The network faced the twin challenges of rapidly repurposing high-volume content for broadcast, cable, OTT and mobile while unifying media processing and QC workflows between its Tulsa prep facility, Playa Vista media center, and an Atlanta origination partner.

Pop deployed Telestream Vantage with Lightspeed GPU acceleration and Post Producer across its sites, automating transcoding, QC and post-production tasks and creating a single, scalable workflow. The new system boosted throughput by 125% without adding staff, sped ad prep and editing, improved cross-site integration, and positioned the network for future needs like cloud bursting and dynamic ad insertion.
