Remote Workflows are Here to Stay – Adapt or Perish

“While we are tremendously proud that IABM has honored Telestream  我们的新产品获得了BaM奖 GLIM媒体播放器, it highlights a big issue facing the media industry today. COVID will have a very long term – perhaps even permanent - impact on the way our industry works. Both customers and tech vendors must recognize and respect these fundamental changes in working practices and be agile in their response. This will largely influence whether they thrive or survive in the new media landscape,斯科特·默里评论道, Telestream营销高级副总裁.

Murray was commenting after IABM selected Telestream’s new GLIM媒体播放器 as recipient of its prestigious BaM Award® at last week’s BaM Live!™事件. 在今年大流行期间, GLIM’s development was fast-tracked based on the remote working experiences of Telestream’s customers and staff.

“In 2021, I believe we’ll see plenty of teams continuing to work remotely as an ongoing, 管理员工薪酬. 在这种情况下, the cloud will be examined for how to accomplish this while at the same time, 自然, there will be continued focus on the economics of cloud-based computing for heavy lifting media workflows,丹·卡斯尔斯评论道, Telestream的首席执行官. “A key component of sustainable remote workflows is not to move the media. If someone needs to QC a program master remotely, waiting two hours for it to download is costly and inefficient. This is one of the reasons that we developed our new GLIM媒体播放器 that allows stakeholders to play full resolution media files remotely from anywhere they have an inter网 connection. Even as vaccines are made available and the pandemic subsides, if companies can save money on travel expenses by not flying every single operator, engineer and supporting equipment to events, 他们会想这么做的.”

This year’s 10 IABM BaM Award® winners were selected from an initial field of 121 entries. 斯坦Moote, IABM CTO and Chair of the BaM Award® judges believes that many of the entries reflected the new pressures imposed by the need for staff to work remotely. “A low latency universal player is the holy grail when working remotely,” Moote comments. “A highly relevant and effective application for use in today's remote post production environment, GLIM offers a real breakthrough for supporting remote workflows.”  

Designed for ingest QC, engineering, master control, news, postproduction, and more,?GLIM enables media professionals to play full resolution, mezzanine grade media files from their centralized storage over the inter网 from a web browser. 

GLIM was built to solve well known remote work challenges where remote employees waste hours every day downloading mezzanine grade media files just so they can be played back. Many collaborative video production applications require transcoding prior to uploading to the site. GLIM allows users to play files immediately, 从浏览器界面, without any delays caused by transcoding and uploading. It supports playback, frame scrubbing & stepping and display of file properties and metadata. The GLIM playback experience is vastly superior to remote and virtual desktop techniques.
