Tellyo Announces Latest Tellyo Pro Update at IBC 2022
London, UK, 14th September 2022 – Our latest release of Tellyo Pro (version 2.34.0 – code name ‘SharpDev’) arrived just in time for the IBC show in Amsterdam last weekend, and it sees the introduction of two important new features – a new and improved MultiViewer and manual tagging of recordings.
Enjoy The View
Tellyo Pro’s MultiViewers are an indispensable part of the platform, and we currently give customers the ability to monitor up to 20 channels concurrently. However, we are always looking to improve this element and make it even more powerful and valuable. In this release, we are opening up the ability to add a selection of graphs and overlays to the MultiViewer, so that producers can easily monitor a number of key production metrics such as stream frame rate, video bitrate and audio sample rate. Users can choose to see these metrics as graphs, giving them a very visual and immediate view of the health of their stream(s).

Tag Me!
Our latest release gives operators and producers the ability to manually add optional metadata (as a distinct data source) to recordings. Operators can select a recording, open up a manual tagging form and then add in a title, description, keywords and a numerical value to their clip. This will be useful for producers who wish to categorise clips according to specific criteria or attributes (e.g. a corner in football or return of serve in tennis), or annotate clips with specific information.

European Universities Games Pick Tellyo for Online Coverage
London, UK, 6th September 2022 – For many people outside of Poland, the City of Lodz is perhaps less well known than more familiar names like Warsaw or Krakow. Lodz, however, is actually Poland’s third largest city and is home to over 660,00 people. It’s also the headquarters of Tellyo’s dedicated development team, who work from a renovated warehouse building in the heart of the city. In addition, this July saw Lodz acting as host city for the 2022 European Universities Games (EUG), an international multi-sport event organized every two years for university athletes by the European University Sports Association (EUSA).
This year’s games included 20 different sports, from Badminton to Water Polo, and events were hosted at a number of different venues around the city, many of which are part of the Lodz University of Technology (an EUG 2022 organiser). To facilitate the online coverage of the games, organisers worked with Tellyo and the Stream Studio cloud production solution to create livestreams, highlights packages and clips. “We have a very talented and motivated team of developers based in Lodz”, notes Tellyo CEO Richard Collins, “and it was great for the team to be able to support this significant sporting event in their home city”.
With 5,000 student athletes participating from over 400 European universities and 40 countries, this year’s games was the largest ever and the organiser’s media team created over 42 hours of live stream content and more than 250 hours of clips and highlights. “We were very pleased to partner with Tellyo for this year’s event”, comments Łukasz Śwituniak, a member of the EUG 2022 Organising Committee’s marketing team. “The Lodz connection made this partnership a very natural one, and our media team thoroughly enjoyed using Stream Studio and Tellyo Pro to produce the content for online audiences. Everyone involved noted how easy both platforms are to use and how quickly packages and clips could be produced then distributed online and to social media. We’re obviously not full-time broadcasters so that speed of adoption and ease of use are both incredibly important. Plus, we got amazing real-time technical support from the team in Lodz who couldn’t have done more to ensure the success of our coverage of the games. We reached even more people online this year compared with our last event in 2018, and that’s a testament to the power of Tellyo – we’ve really boosted our online content strategy this year, and our experience has given us plenty of food for thought for the next event in Debrecen, Hungary, in 2024”.
“Many of our developers actually studied at the Lodz University of Technology”, notes Tellyo COO Jakub Majkowski, “and they feel a very strong connection with the University and the city. We’re actively recruiting and continuing to build our team in Lodz, so our involvement in these games is a great advert for both Tellyo and this remarkable place where we live and work”.

Tellyo Improves Remote Production Efficiency at IBC 2022
London, UK, 31st August 2022 – With just over one week until the doors open at IBC 2022 in Amsterdam, Tellyo has announced that it will be focusing on the important issue of remote production workflow efficiency at this year’s show.
“We’ve been working very hard this year to implement our ambitious roadmaps”, comments Tellyo CEO Richard Collins. “When we exhibited at NAB Show Las Vegas we introduced a raft of updates, all designed to improve the workflow efficiency of our solutions and make the process of producing and distributing great-looking content remotely even quicker and easier. From multi-camera stream synchronisation to support for 9:16 and advanced MultiViewers for monitoring multiple channels, it’s been an important year of development so far. Many of the feature enhancements we showed at NAB came from customer feedback as we supported producers during the Beijing Winter games earlier this year and at other notable international sporting events since. Needless to say, we’re not finished yet”.
With another series of enhancements and quality of life updates planned for the beginning of September, the development team has been looking very closely at platform ease of use and the practicalities of how remote teams interact with Tellyo’s Stream Studio and Tellyo Pro solutions. “We have been working to expand the range of hardware panel control options available to customers, and we’ll be demonstrating a few of these in Amsterdam”, notes Jakub Majkowski, Tellyo COO. “We’re also increasing the number of aspect ratios supported by our solutions, and making it easier for customers to work with multiple audio tracks within video clips. In addition, we’re announcing a range of customisable graphics templates courtesy of our graphics partners SPX and introducing animated transitions to enable customers to boost their production values and create additional branding and sponsorship opportunities”.
Tellyo will be exhibiting throughout IBC and will be located in Hall 1 on booth 1.C37. To book a meeting with the team during the event, please visit www.tellyo.com/ibc. Tellyo will be bringing the full range of solutions to IBC including the flagship Stream Studio production platform and the Tellyo Pro solution for live video clipping, editing and publishing. Trusted by broadcasters, producers, sports federations and teams around the world, Tellyo’s solutions are cloud-native and offer true remote production, helping digital and social media teams to collaborate and produce from anywhere in the world. Faster, greener and more efficient, Tellyo is #smarterproduction.

Casey O’Donoghue Strengthens Tellyo’s International Sales Team
London, UK, 22nd August 2022 – Tellyo, the complete cloud production platform, is very pleased to announce the appointment of Casey O’Donoghue, who has joined the company as EMEA Sales Manager. A self-confessed technology fan, Casey is a highly experienced sales professional who has been working in the broadcast and live production industry for almost a decade. Casey joins Tellyo at a significant time, following sales and support appointments in the US and further additions to the company’s in-house development team in Poland.
“I’m very pleased to be joining Tellyo just before we exhibit at IBC”, he notes. “I started working in this industry just under ten years ago and in that time I’ve seen big changes, most notably the rise of software and cloud-based solutions and the beginning of the transition away from traditional hardware. As a cloud-native company with excellent technical pedigree, Tellyo is incredibly well placed to help content producers benefit from the big advantages of remote production workflows, and I’m really looking forward to helping the team further build out our enthusiastic and supportive customer base”.
Richard Collins, Tellyo CEO, is delighted to welcome Casey onboard. “I’ve spoken a great deal this year about technical investment in our platforms and the need to keep delivering powerful features that bring value to our customers, saving them time and money. However, we’re certainly not neglecting the commercial side of the business and we have made important appointments in Marketing, Customer Success and Sales this year to ensure we’re well placed to meet the needs of our customers as cloud adoption inevitably accelerates. Casey joins us as we prepare to demonstrate our latest platform releases at IBC in Amsterdam, and we’re very much looking forward to meeting visitors to the event and showing how we can help them achieve smarter production”.

The Latest Version of Tellyo Pro is Available Now
London, UK, 27th July 2022 – Tellyo is today pleased to announce the release of the latest version of Tellyo Pro – live production’s preferred cloud-native solution for video editing, clipping and publishing. This latest release (version 2.33.0 – code name ‘Sound Driving’) sees the addition of two very important features, one relating to the management of multiple audio tracks and the second – an advanced MultiViewer – that enables content producers to monitor multiple channels all from one single interface.
Sounding Good
We know that Tellyo Pro users value the ability to work with multiple audio tracks when creating clips, perhaps for alternative commentaries or different languages, and we’ve supported multiple audio tracks for some time now. However, we recognise that working with multiple audio tracks did previously require some extra configuration steps within Tellyo Pro and so we’ve simplified and improved the user interface to make the whole process of managing multiple audio tracks and simulcasting far more straightforward and intuitive.
More info: https://app.tellyo.com/guide/publish-a-clip-in-different-languages-using-tellyo-editor/ and https://app.tellyo.com/guide/simulcast-in-different-languages/
Quality Control
Live production can be both exciting and stressful, and many of our customers regularly produce and stream content across multiple channels at the same time. Stream quality matters, and it’s important to be able to monitor inputs throughout a production. Until now, individual channel monitoring has been done via the Stream Monitor feature and we’re now introducing a new advanced MultiViewer that enables you to monitor stream quality across multiple channels (up to 20 simultaneously) from one single interface. With important features such as threshold alarms, data flows, frame rate and sample rate information, this new interface for monitoring makes it even easier to work with more complex, multi-channel productions.

For any more information, please don’t hesitate to contact us at feedback@tellyo.com, and we look forward to hearing your thoughts on this new release. We always value and appreciate your feedback!
Still looking for a prime alternative to Snappy TV?
When we first posted this blog, Twitter had started winding down its popular video production tool, Snappy TV. This updated post follows the news that Twitter will shut down the tool by 31 December 2019. In SnappyTV’s place comes LiveCut, as part of the Twitter Media Studio.
Let’s cut to the chase…
SnappyTV has been good. But LiveCut is far too limited. Within LiveCut, clips can only be published to Twitter and it looks to have very basic functionality.
If you simply want to create clips from your Twitter or Periscope broadcast, and share these clips to Twitter only, then LiveCut could be for you. But is that ambitious enough for you? Really?
It’s more likely that you’re looking to master live video clipping and want rich features at your fingertips – and already have a wish list you’ve compiled, which LiveCut just doesn’t match up to.
Get video clipping features that meet your ambitions
Ours is an advanced, cloud-based video clipping, production, streaming and distribution platform. It delivers the features you’re going to need to deliver on your live video ambitions.
Ambition 1 › You want to engage with audiences across all social channels
Firstly, with LiveCut if you want to set up a broadcast that streams beyond Twitter and Periscope, you’re unable to. With Tellyo, however, you can stream to limitless digital and social media destinations simultaneously. Our platform works with Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, China’s Sina Weibo, Russia’s VKontakte to name just a few, as well as the main CMS providers like Brightcove or any other destination via a custom RTMP solution.
With so many options – to distribute content across digital channels, websites, social media, apps and OTT platforms – your video goals can be much more ambitious.
At the same time as your stream is being broadcast, within Tellyo you can use our powerful Editor to create video clips and share these to all your social channels simultaneously as well. Once ready, publish clips to your channels with just one click.
Ambition 2 › You don’t just want clips but really captivating videos
Here’s the deal, with both Tellyo and LiveCut you can create clips. But with LiveCut, beyond setting a start and end point for your clip, that’s it. What happens if you want to create truly captivating ‘in the moment’ compilations, or include bumpers and overlays in a final edit?
With our Tellyo Editor you can do so much more. Working on just one screen in your browser you can:
- Create frame accurate compilations of clips, not just a single clip
- Work with up to 8 audio-tracks and select the right ones for your audience
- Add visuals – like overlays and transition effects – to better engage viewers
- Use bumpers (pre, mid and post rolls) as an added dimension to your clips
- Include subtitles to engage audiences even when watching with the sound off
- Optimise videos for mobile and social platforms with square and vertical aspect ratios
- Create richer digital assets like GIFs and stills to give your audiences more
- Add letterbox-style copy to videos, GIFs and stills
- Use live metadata to assist clip creation and post writing, automating some or all of your processes so you speed up workflows
- Monetise clips with sponsored bumpers, watermarks and partner logos
Ambition 3 › You want to clip videos but with more advanced controls in place
So, in LiveCut your people are creating clips from your live broadcast… But how do you then maintain control over the way in which clips are created, distributed and viewed?
Because our Tellyo platform is a more comprehensive offering, you can easily manage users and rights, and stay in complete control:
- Manage temporal and global rights in a dedicated area, where access can be granted or revoked
- Mandate appropriate branding and sponsorship on specific video clips
- Enable remote working but with roles, responsibilities and rights clearly assigned
- Encourage greater collaboration by sharing projects and giving others permission to publish your clips
- Track the performance of clips across all distribution channels, not just Twitter
- Autosave as you go, so your work can be recovered in case of any issues
Ambition 4 › You want to achieve a specific broadcast quality
Here, it’s time to get serious with a much more advanced platform like Tellyo:
- With Tellyo you can now match broadcast quality streaming inputs and outputs, including 1080p/4K resolution, up to 60fps and up to 50Mbps.
- Through Tellyo, live streams can be ingested over RTMP, HLS, SRT, RTMPS, RTSP protocols with video codecs including H.264, H.265, VP9, AV1, MPEG-2.
- Live stream ingests can include up to 8 audio tracks that can be used with outgoing clips and live streams.
- Tellyo’s closed captioning meets all industry-standard with the support of EIA/CEA-608, EIA/CEA-708, SRT, WebVTT, DVB Teletext, DVB Subtitles.
If you’re looking for a SnappyTV alternative, or unsure about LiveCut’s capabilities, talk to us today. Like you, we’re ambitious when it comes to live video production, so let’s discuss how we can work together.

Awesome viewing as Dutch cyclist Beukeboom claims 4th longest distance for UCI Hour Record
Last night, Dutch racer Dion Beukeboom attempted to break the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) Hour Record, gunning for Sir Bradley Wiggins’s iconic feat from three years ago.
Chasing the record at the Aguascalientes velodrome in Mexico, Beukeboom recorded 52.757 kilometres, ranking him 4th in distance covered in the illustrious event but still shy of Wiggins’s amazing mark of 54.526 kilometres which was set at London’s Olympic Velodrome in 2015.
Enabling global fans to witness this latest attempt at cycling’s most prestigious record, the UCI live streamed the event to Facebook and the UCI YouTube channel (tv.uci.ch). It also used Tellyo to create and share short clips of key moments to social media throughout Beukeboom’s attempt.
“Tellyo is delighted to have worked with the UCI on such a prestigious event. Through Tellyo, the UCI were able to capture key moments of the attempt, and create and share video edits, GIFs and still images across their social media, helping to engage their audience, share updates on progress and ultimately guide more viewers to the live stream.
“It was compelling viewing and congratulations should go to Beukeboom – it was a superb effort and truly awesome to watch.”
