Documentum, Telestream Develop A/V Plug-in For IP-Delivered Media

Documentum and Telestream have agreed to integrate Telestream's FlipFactory transcoding automation technology into the audio/video plug-in for Documentum Media Services.

Documentum, an enterprise content manager, and Telestream, which provides automated media transcoding and IP delivery for the entertainment industry, will include an audio/video transcoding option, which enables users to convert digital assets between audio, video and streaming formats.

The audio/video media plug-in with FlipFactory technology automates the manual process of transcoding media into a variety of web-ready formats and bit rates. It automatically delivers to resulting files to streaming servers, content distribution networks or editing systems.

Dan Castles, CEO and president of Telestream, notes "The ability to effectively manage today's complex mix of digital media formats offers enormous benefits for companies by reducing costs associated with handling physical media and by providing broader on-line access to their valuable assets."
