Case Study: TYT Network achieves automated high-volume media processing and 7x faster publishing with Telestream Vantage

TYT Network Automates and Expands Online Media Processing and Distribution with Vantage

The Young Turks (TYT) Network is a high-volume online news and commentary operation that produces a live two-hour HDTV newscast plus dozens of specialty shows and daily clips for YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Roku, Hulu, Amazon and more. As their audience and platform footprint grew, the team hit a breaking point in 2016: manual, fragile automation and browser-based uploads could not keep up with the need to chunk, brand, transcode and publish dozens of clip variants with correct metadata to multiple destinations.

TYT implemented Telestream’s Vantage Media Processing Platform — including Vantage Post Producer, Transcode Pro, the Social Media Connector and Lightspeed servers — to automate editing workflows, conforming, branding, captioning and simultaneous publishing. The result: roughly 50 clips per day processed to each social site, publishing speed about seven times faster, fewer failures, lower overhead and faster turnarounds, freeing editors for creative work and enabling reliable, scalable distribution across platforms.
