University of Notre Dame Selects Telestream for Fighting Irish Game Highlights
1/1/2013
NEVADA CITY
CALIF. – Notre Dame’s Fighting Irish Digital Media, a
new digital and post-production facility on the University’s South Bend, Ind.,
campus, has tapped Telestream, the vendor said. Telestream’s Pipeline HD
network video capture and Vantage Transcode Pro workflow solution are being
used to accelerate and streamline the creation of game highlights and other
video clips for the University’s Notre Dame Athletics YouTube channel and
website.
“We want to
put game highlights online as quickly as possible, especially following an
exciting win,” said Scott Rinehart, Fighting Irish Digital Media’s lead
technologist. “With Telestream, we’re now able to post game highlights in just
20 minutes following the event, compared to the two to three hours it used to
take.”
During
Fighting Irish football games or any other Notre Dame athletic event televised
by major networks, FIDM brings in the live HD-SDI program feed from the network’s
nearby broadcast truck over a fiber link into one of the eight channels of its
Telestream Pipeline HD Dual network video capture and play out device. Pipeline
captures the live HD video as Apple ProRes files-the house file format-directly
into the facility’s SAN for FIDM’s Final Cut Pro editors to edit.
The FIDM
camera crews shoot ENG-style HD video footage and bring it in on P2 HD cards
and uses Telestream Vantage Transcode Pro to transcode the P2 video into ProRes
and deliver it to the SAN. When finished, editors place files into a Vantage
drop folder and Vantage automatically transcodes them into the file format
needed for online distribution and places them on the SAN, ready for upload.
