Telestream Vantage High Performance Broadcast Content Preparation Bundle is a file-based transcoding and workflow automation package built for demanding broadcast content preparation. From the supplied source, the bundle combines Vantage Transcode Pro, a Vantage Analysis License, CardAgent, a Lightspeed Server G8, and remote commissioning and training. This is the kind of bundle that makes sense when a facility needs more than basic transcoding. Vantage handles the workflow logic, analysis, and delivery steps, CardAgent gives operators a practical front end for preparing camera-card media, and the G8 server adds the processing power needed for high-volume scaling, deinterlacing, frame-rate conversion, and other compute-heavy jobs. Highlights High-performance broadcast content preparation bundle for Telestream Vantage workflows Vantage Transcode Pro and Vantage Analysis License for broad format processing and integrated analysis CardAgent for camera-card ingest, clip review, trimming, renaming, and metadata entry Lightspeed Server G8 with dual Intel CPUs and dual NVIDIA GPUs Remote commissioning and training included Quick Specs & Uses Product type: High-performance broadcast content preparation and transcoding bundle Primary workflows: File-based ingest, media analysis, transcoding, processing, camera-card preparation, and delivery Transcoding software: Vantage Transcode Pro Analysis component: Vantage Analysis License Operator submission tool: CardAgent Processing server: Telestream Lightspeed Server G8 Support included: Remote commissioning and training Format support: Professional video and audio formats, systems, and wrapper variants Output workflows: Web, mobile, edit, MXF, and broadcast server formats Workflow integration: Analysis operates directly inside the Vantage environment Temporary file handling: Designed to reduce unnecessary intermediate files and extra copies Scalability: Supports multiple Vantage servers Load balancing: Supported Redundancy: Supported Auto-failover: Supported for 24/7 workflow operation CardAgent media detection: Automatically identifies camera cards and single clips CardAgent clip tools: Playback, trim, rename, and custom metadata entry before submission Rack format: 1RU Power supplies: Dual redundant 750W Processors: Dual Intel 6226R Memory: 192GB RAM Graphics processing: Dual NVIDIA GPUs Default operating system: Windows Server 2016 Standard Edition 64-bit Optional operating systems: Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard Edition; Windows Server 2019 Standard Edition 64-bit OS drive: 240GB SATA 6Gb/s SSD Media drives: Dual 1.92TB SATA 6Gb/s SSD Ethernet ports: 4 x 10GBase-T Available I/O: 1 x half-height PCIe 3.0 x8 slot USB ports: 4 x USB 3.0 Expansion drive bays: 10 total, 7 available Dimensions: 43 x 437 x 707 mm / 1.7 x 17.2 x 27.8 in Gross weight: 15.4 kg / 34 lb Operating temperature: 10°C to 35°C / 50°F to 95°F Non-operating temperature: -40°C to 70°C / -40°F to 158°F Idle power consumption: Approx. 1.2 A / 135 W Full-load power consumption: Approx. 6.6 A / 745 W Certifications: FCC, CE, UL or CSA, CB, VCCI, C-Tick Why It Helps This bundle is useful when a broadcast facility needs to prepare a large amount of content for several destinations without building separate workflows for each one. Vantage Transcode Pro provides the format coverage, while the Analysis License keeps inspection and decision-making inside the same automated chain. CardAgent helps at the operator level. Camera cards and individual clips can be identified, played back, trimmed, renamed, and tagged with custom metadata before they enter the Vantage workflow, which makes ingest cleaner and reduces avoidable downstream corrections. The Lightspeed G8 takes on the heavier processing work. Its dual CPUs and dual NVIDIA GPUs accelerate tasks such as scaling, deinterlacing, frame-rate conversion, and motion-vector calculation, helping the system move more jobs without increasing rack space unnecessarily.
