The one constant across the media industry is that teams are expected to do more with fewer resources while maintaining the reliability that audiences, advertisers, and rights holders demand. Broadcasters, sports organizations, streaming platforms, and content owners can now generate more versions, more languages, more highlights, and more personalized experiences than ever before. But every new asset places greater demands on a media infrastructure that must ingest, validate, orchestrate, monitor, and deliver it, making media operations significantly more complex. Telestream is addressing those challenges head-on at this year’s IBC Show.

Across its portfolio, Telestream is helping customers safely adopt AI with confidence, maintain operational visibility across increasingly complex workflows, integrate the technologies and vendors that best fit their business, and modernize at their own pace with predictable operational costs. At IBC2026, Telestream will demonstrate how media organizations can modernize their operations without sacrificing trust, governance, cost, or technology preference.

Telestream’s IBC2026 Feature Showcase

The IBC2026 Telestream Showcase is built around three core technology pillars:

Vantage Ecosystem

Vantage, Telestream’s flagship media platform, transforms media supply chains through intelligent workflow automation, practical AI, content processing, quality control, archive management, and an expanding ecosystem of technology integrations.

Measurement Portfolio

The Telestream measurement portfolio delivers observability across live production and distribution, with intelligent monitoring, advanced signal analysis, precision timing, and operational visibility for IP, cloud, and hybrid media environments.

Telestream UP

UP provides a cloud-native foundation built on modular media services, open orchestration, AI-powered automation, and flexible deployment models that enable organizations to build, integrate, and scale modern media workflows.

New Innovations from Telestream at IBC2026

From content-aware automation and unified ingest to software monitoring for IP production and composable cloud services, these innovations across Vantage, Telestream’s measurement portfolio, and the UP Platform help organizations build more connected, intelligent, and resilient media operations.

What’s New in Telestream Vantage

Practical AI: From Content Intelligence to Automated Action

Telestream embeds AI capabilities into established workflows where the results can initiate meaningful actions, supporting tasks such as transcription, captioning, translation, metadata creation, content summarization, compliance checks, and quality control.

IBC attendees will get a first look at EDC Media Analyzer, which brings that same practical approach to one of the media supply chain’s most persistent manual tasks: understanding what is actually inside a content file before processing begins. By analyzing the video and audio essence rather than relying only on technical metadata, it can identify structural and editorial elements such as color bars, slates, black segments, credits, commercial breaks, caption tracks, and audio layouts. The resulting data then triggers automated downstream actions in EDC, Vantage, or third-party systems, helping organizations onboard large libraries faster.

Additional Practical AI highlights at IBC include Vantage AI Autoframe, a new tool that helps media teams rapidly repurpose traditional 16:9 content for social and mobile distribution. Built natively into Vantage, AI Autoframe uses intelligent subject tracking to automatically create vertical, square, and 4:5 versions while keeping speakers, action, and other important content centered. Multiple target formats can be generated concurrently in a single pass, helping teams scale multi-platform publishing without adding hours of manual reframing and editing.

Global Ingest: The Unified Entry Point for Modern Media Workflows

By bringing together live capture, camera cards, file-based ingest, playback, and scheduling, Global Ingest gives organizations a unified starting point for sports, news, entertainment, and other production workflows. Telestream Global Ingest enables growing-file workflows that can initiate AI enrichment, proxy generation, quality control, editorial review, and other downstream processes earlier, significantly reducing time to production. New capabilities include a reimagined Camera Card Ingest application, Live Schedule Pro 2.0, higher-density ST 2110 recording, cloud-based capture and monitoring through the UP Platform, and enhanced playback integration with production automation systems.

The Vantage Ecosystem: A Connected and Resilient Media Supply Chain

The Vantage Ecosystem connects the production, editing, asset management, storage, archive, cloud, and delivery technologies that power modern media operations. At IBC 2026, Telestream will showcase deeper integrations and expanded growing-file support across platforms such as iconik and Mimir, enabling editorial and production work to begin while content is still being recorded. Continued collaboration with Adobe, Avid, Embrace, SDVI, ScorePlay, and other technology partners gives organizations the freedom to modernize incrementally, extend existing workflows, and adopt cloud-native capabilities without sacrificing interoperability or disrupting established investments.

What’s New in the Telestream Measurement Portfolio

Pulse: The Next Era of Software-Based IP Monitoring

At IBC, Telestream will showcase Pulse, its software-based waveform monitoring and analysis platform for ST 2110 environments. Pulse brings together signal visualization, timing awareness, event logging, alarms, and customizable dashboards, giving users detailed insight into IP media supply chains through a multi-user interface. It is designed for applications ranging from engineering and camera shading to post-production, quality control, and remote production.

PRISM: Enterprise-Grade Monitoring for NDI & 2110 Workflows

Telestream will also demonstrate expanded NDI support for PRISM waveform monitors. Adding NDI alongside PRISM’s existing SDI and ST 2110 capabilities will extend its value to small and mid-sized IP production environments, where NDI is increasingly used for live video transport.

Multicast ABR: Extending Visibility Across Next-Generation Video Delivery

Telestream is expanding its IQ monitoring capabilities to support Multicast ABR, helping service providers maintain visibility as video distribution architectures evolve. Multicast ABR combines the efficiency of multicast delivery with the flexibility of adaptive bitrate streaming, making it possible to serve large audiences while reducing bandwidth demands. At IBC 2026, Telestream will highlight how its monitoring technology is being extended to help operators validate service quality, troubleshoot issues, and maintain confidence across these increasingly complex delivery environments.

What’s New in Telestream UP

Modular Services: Building Blocks for an Evolving Media Ecosystem

At IBC 2026, Telestream will show how the UP Platform is expanding from five core services to a broader portfolio spanning ingest, processing, AI, quality control, review, monitoring, orchestration, and delivery. Designed as composable building blocks, these services can be adopted individually or combined as requirements grow, giving organizations access to an expanding set of media-specific capabilities without committing to a fixed application or monolithic platform. All operate on a common UP foundation for identity, security, storage, billing, and management, simplifying how new capabilities are added and managed over time.

Capture, Review & Lens: Cloud-Native Tools for Live & Remote Production

Telestream UP brings cloud-native capture, review, and monitoring together for fast-moving live and remote production environments. UP.Capture provides elastic ingest for live IP contribution feeds, with growing-file support that makes content available while recording is still underway. UP.Review gives distributed teams proxyless access to high-resolution media for playback, annotation, clipping, and editorial decision-making. UP.Lens provides real-time “eyes-on-glass” monitoring of live contribution feeds, automated detection of issues such as packet loss, jitter, frozen video, and audio silence, and historical stream rewind for faster troubleshooting.

MCP Support: Secure, Natural-Language Access to Media Operations

Native support for the Model Context Protocol (MCP) gives AI assistants and external applications a standardized, secure way to interact with services across the UP Platform. Through conversational commands, users and their own AI agents can create resources, configure services, or retrieve and interpret operational data without building custom interfaces for every capability. Every UP service can be exposed through MCP, with safeguards designed to prevent destructive operations and maintain appropriate control over production environments.
