Telestream Advances Production-Ready AI Across Its Product Portfolio
26.2.2026 09:00:00 CET | ACCESS Newswire | Press release
New AI capabilities drive smarter automation, enriched metadata, and assisted workflow design for live and file-based workflows on-premises and in the cloud
NEVADA CITY, CA / ACCESS Newswire / February 26, 2026 / Telestream, global leader in media workflow technologies, today announced expanded practical AI enhancements across its Vantage, Vantage Cloud, EDC, Stanza, and Qualify product lines. Building on the foundation introduced with Vantage AI in 2025, Telestream is advancing its production-ready AI workflows, accelerating localization, strengthening quality control, and introducing new AI-assisted workflow design capabilities that connect and unify enterprise operations across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments.
The latest enhancements reflect a shift from introducing AI features to operationalizing AI across the enterprise, driving measurable workflow impact across ingest, processing, compliance, and delivery.
"Last year we introduced Vantage AI as a new foundation for intelligent media workflows," said Rich Andes, Vice President of Product Management at Telestream. "Today, we're expanding that foundation with deeper integration across cloud and hybrid deployments, enhanced QC automation, and scalable localization workflows. This is practical AI in action: embedded, explainable, and designed for real-world production environments."
Telestream Practical AI: What's New in 2026
Telestream's latest AI advancements deliver meaningful operational progress across five core areas:
AI Caption: Expanded Localization at Scale
AI-powered captioning and translation now support up to 128 languages across Vantage and Stanza workflows, enabling automated speech-to-text, caption generation, and multilingual subtitle delivery in a unified processing chain. These enhancements significantly reduce turnaround time for FAST channels, OTT distribution, and global sports syndication.
AI Qualify: AI-Assisted QC Embedded in Production Pipelines
Enhancements to Qualify integrate AI-powered lip-sync validation, subtitle alignment checks, and spoken-language verification directly into automated QC workflows. By flagging only exception-based issues for operator review, teams reduce manual inspection time while improving delivery confidence and platform compliance.
AI Speech: Real-Time Speech Intelligence for Growing Files
Speech-to-text and metadata extraction capabilities now support growing file workflows, enabling real-time tagging and searchable metadata during ingest and processing. This allows news, sports, and live production teams to accelerate time-to-edit and improve content discoverability without waiting for file completion.
AI Vision: Visual Intelligence Reduces Manual Lifting
AI Vision introduces frame-level visual intelligence across Telestream workflows, automatically transforming video into actionable metadata that extends beyond traditional file properties. Using advanced computer vision, AI Vision identifies objects, logos, lower thirds, safe-area violations, and objectionable content, while generating scene-level descriptions in real time. These capabilities enable describing the scene within a video feed as metadata, logo detection and removal across large content libraries, and ad-break identification and replacement for VOD repurposing. AI Vision reduces manual review time, strengthens compliance workflows, and expands automation for live and file-based production environments.
AI Media Analyzer: Content-Aware Analysis
AI Media Analyzer advances content inspection from basic technical validation to contextual understanding of what is actually inside a media file. Rather than simply verifying resolution, frame rate, or codec, Media Analyzer detects the nature of the content, segments media into meaningful sections, and generates metadata that reflects scene changes, content types, graphic overlays, and potential compliance risks. This content-aware analysis enables faster review cycles and more accurate downstream workflow triggering. It provides significant operator time savings across ingest, processing, and delivery environments, transforming media assessment into an automated, production-ready capability. This feature is available in Telestream's EDC platform and will be coming soon to Vantage AI.
These enhancements ensure AI capabilities are integrated components that create a trusted production infrastructure.
"AI delivers value when it's operationalized at scale," Andes added. "Our customers don't need more labels or transcripts; they need intelligent automation that reduces turnaround time, improves accuracy, meets compliance, and scales with their infrastructure and workflows. That's what this next phase of Practical AI delivers."
Designed for Control, Security, and Trust
As with previous releases, Telestream's AI capabilities remain secure by design. Customers retain full control of their content, whether deployed on-premises, in private environments, or via managed cloud services. No customer media is used to train shared models, ensuring compliance, auditability, and cost predictability.
Built for the Next Era of Media Delivery
In addition to AI workflow enhancements, Telestream continues to invest in next-generation format readiness and compliance standards, including support for emerging codecs and audio standards and exploration of C2PA metadata workflows to address growing content authenticity requirements.
Together, these advancements reinforce Telestream's position as a workflow platform partner, helping broadcasters, streamers, and content producers modernize operations without sacrificing control, quality, or reliability.

LONDON, UK / ACCESS Newswire / February 26, 2026 / A new study, Innovation Reignited: C-Suite insights on the state of innovation, from Ipsos, Alchemy-RX and Market Logic reveals that innovation is rapidly becoming the cornerstone of corporate growth strategies worldwide.

63% report higher RFP volumes - but up to 20% go unfinished due to resource constraints as proposal teams see 25 to 50% workload spikes SEATTLE, WA / ACCESS Newswire / February 25, 2026 / As B2B buying has become more structured, consensus-driven and risk-averse, proposals and RFPs have moved from a back-office task to a primary driver of revenue at professional services firms, according to new research from QorusDocs, a leader in AI-powered value and proposal management software. Once viewed as a downstream support function, proposal management, now directly shapes pipeline health, win rates and revenue outcomes. As AI disrupts the traditional billable-hour model and prompts corporate clients to question fees, proposal operations have emerged as a critical lever to protect margins and capture growth. However, growing RFP volumes have driven a 25 to 50% workload spike for proposal teams at most organizations. "Time, not intent, has become the primary constraint for modern proposal team
