This latest release sees the introduction of Watch Folders that help users monitor and import video content from a variety of different sources. Twitch integration will help make life a little easier for our customers working in the esports industry, and we’re pleased to introduce several new housekeeping features that improve ease of use and organise content more efficiently. This update also optimises system performance when customers are previewing/rendering compilation clips, as well as offering greater customisation and personalisation of system notifications.
Watch me!
V2.30.0 sees the introduction of Watch Folders. Using these, customers can store content in S3, Dropbox or FTP sources and Tellyo Pro will automatically import these assets directly into folders, saving time and simplifying workflows.
Feeling Twitchy?
Twitch is often the esports industry’s streaming platform of choice, and Tellyo Pro has now adopted the Twitch API and therefore integrates seamlessly with Twitch, making it easier for esports customers to live stream esports content.
Peak performance
Tellyo is pleased to introduce a number of small housekeeping improvements that will help customers working with large numbers of clips or creating sizeable compilations. These changes primarily help speed up the preview and rendering of larger clips and compilations. We’ve also switched to an alternative email service to overcomelimits imposed by the previous provider on the number of recipients of email notifications. Finally, we’ve enabled users to change and optimise the email notifications they receive, for greater personalisation of their Tellyo Pro experience.
“We’re pushing ahead with our ambitious roadmap for Tellyo Pro and we’re also expecting to announce a couple of significant updates for NAB Show next month”, comments CEO Richard Collins. “Tellyo will be exhibiting on booth N1932 and we’ll have our full suite of solutions available for demonstration throughout.

Tellyo Recognised by albert as a Sustainable Supplier for Media Production
London, UK, 22nd March 2022 – Tellyo, the complete, cloud-based video production platform, is today pleased to announce that is has been recognised by albert as a Sustainable Supplier to the Film and TV industry.
Created by BAFTA – the British Academy of Film and Television Arts – albert is the UK’s leading environmental sustainability initiative for the visual arts. The organisation aims to help the media production industry reduce its carbon footprint and minimise its environmental impact, as well as providing audiences with an opportunity to engage with the climate agenda.
“As the leading screen industry organisation for environmental sustainability, albert is here to champion the environment and highlight those companies working in film and TV that see green practices as a core part of their operations”, notes Sustainability Analyst Will Bourns. “As media producers increasingly adopt cloud-based workflows for collaboration and production, we’re very pleased to welcome Tellyo to our list of Sustainable Suppliers”.
Tellyo CEO Richard Collins highlights the industry’s shift in focus on to green issues. “We’re delighted to be recognised by albert because the environmental impact of our business is being more closely considered by our customers who, in turn, want to minimise their own carbon footprint. As a cloud-native company we obviously don’t manufacture products, but we still consume resources and that means we have a responsibility, by default, to work with our partners and suppliers to reduce energy consumption and use greener options wherever we can. As people consider their travel and working patterns more critically, cloud-based collaboration and production workflows make greater economic and environmental sense, and Tellyo is well placed to help the industry become greener and more sustainable”.

Tellyo Releases V1.28 of Stream Studio with Innovative Stream Synch Engine
London, UK, 15th February 2022 – Tellyo, the complete cloud-based video production platform, is today pleased to announce the latest version of its flagship Stream Studio solution. Stream Studio was launched less than two years ago and has grown to become an industry-leading platform used by customers like Liberty Global, ESPN and Sunset+Vine to create compelling live content that can be easily streamed to multiple digital and social media destinations.
The latest version of Stream Studio (V1.28 – codename ‘Black Burst’), is remarkable because it makes frame-perfect switching of a live multi-camera production in the cloud a reality. This is thanks to a new stream synchronization engine that precisely synchronizes inputs from multiple camera feeds. V1.28 also includes Tellyo Intercom, which enables full duplex communication between your production team and talent. In addition, this latest version opens up more granular and precise control of Stream Studio’s powerful audio mixing capabilities by merging the advanced and simple audio mixers into a single unified solution.
The new built-in stream synch engine changes the game by synchronizing incoming multiple camera streams that share a common timestamping scheme. The engine supports SMPTE 12M SEI in-band timecode metadata (the ‘digital’ VITC/LTC) and ‘wallclock’ NTP/PTP timestamps. With incoming streams that include the timing information you can now switch a remote multi-camera production live in the cloud, without having to worry about cameras getting out of sync. Stream Studio even supports multiple timing schemes within the same production. Depending on your Internet connectivity, either an adaptive or static buffering mechanism can be chosen. Robert Szabo-Rowe is Senior Vice President, Engineering & Product Management with The Switch, a long-standing Tellyo partner. “This update is critical and the technology lets us create professional, frame perfect, multi-camera sports productions”, he notes. “We’ve never been able to do that live in the cloud before. By removing the issue of video packets arriving with different and inconsistent delays, we can now give our audience a much higher quality and more engaging experience”.
Commenting on the new release, Tellyo COO Jakub Majkowski is delighted to bring these valuable new features to Tellyo’s expanding customer base. “We’re excited to introduce the stream synch engine, as well as improving Stream Studio’s comms abilities by making two separate partyline channels available – Talkback for the ‘core’ production crew and IFB for talent. Add in the configuration enhancements to the audio mixer, and you can see why Stream Studio keeps growing as a platform and is receiving so much industry attention. Our ambitious product roadmap keeps delivering on real-world customer feedback, and there’s much more to look forward to in 2022!”

Tellyo central to Ascot Racecourse fan engagement and commercial strategy
Ascot Racecourse is synonymous with global sports fans, bringing exciting horse racing meetings to thousands of spectators each year with millions more watching worldwide.
Central to their fan engagement and commercial strategy is their usage of Tellyo’s intuitive broadcast quality streaming, clipping, editing, publishing and distribution toolset.
Tellyo and Ascot Racecourse have worked together since 2017, building a trusting relationship that has enabled the Ascot Racecourse team to constantly innovate, attract commercial partnerships with their content and out perform their competitors across their digital ecosphere.
Ahead of each meeting, Rhys Hayward, the Digital Editor at Ascot Racecourse, and his team upload branded bumpers to Tellyo Pro.
With the live broadcast feed quick and easy to ingest into the system, the digital team watch the racing unfold. In real-time, the team live clip the final two furlongs of each race, where it is won and lost, and prepare the clip for distribution by adding their own graphics within Tellyo Pro.
Once the team are happy, the pre-prepared branded bumpers, showcasing Ascot’s sponsors and partners, automatically top and tail each specific piece of content to streamline their workflow.
Distributed to Twitter and Facebook within moments of the race finish, fans around the world can watch back the crucial moments and gain immediate insight.
The Ascot team successfully used Tellyo during the first part of 2021, including Royal Ascot. This helped result in a record performance for Ascot’s social channels, including 6.3m video views across the week.
After the summer break, the Autumn/Winter season officially began on Friday 1 October with a two-day Flat Meeting where the team continued their use of Tellyo.
The season continues through November with Jumps and into December with the Howden Christmas Racing Weekend.
Tellyo is at the heart of the digital teams plans and on their usage, Digital Editor, Hayward, commented, “As we continue to grow our digital audiences globally, being able to quickly share our rights across social media and beyond remains central to this.
“As we return to full crowds for 2022, Tellyo will continue to play a big role in our race day content delivery.”
Richard Collins, Chief Executive Officer at Tellyo, commented, “Ascot is a famed race track with a loyal and highly engaged global fanbase who want to engage with high quality content.
“The digital team at Ascot understand this and use Tellyo expertly to maximise their reach and engagement levels.
“The platform is designed to streamline workflows and speed up processes. The branded bumpers is just one of those areas where gains can be found and we’re delighted to see that they’ve used this to monetise their rights and enable greater awareness of their commercial partners.
“It’s going to be an exciting end of the 2021 season for the Ascot team and Tellyo will support them every step of the way.”
“Tellyo will continue to play a big role in our race day content delivery.”
Rhys Hayward, Ascot Racecourse Digital Editor
