Tellyo Unveils Updated Stream Studio for NAB Show 2023
London, UK, 5th April 2023 – Following a busy few months of development, Tellyo is very pleased to announce that its flagship Stream Studio platform for live video production in the cloud is being updated again, and this latest version will be available for demonstration during NAB Show 2023.
2022 was a landmark year for Stream Studio as the multi-user, browser-based platform gained the ability to sync multiple camera feeds, finally making frame-perfect switching of a live multi-camera production in the cloud a reality. Onboard graphics were also added courtesy of Tellyo’s partnership with Finnish company SPX, and a powerful playout feature enabled content creators to build and run true 24/7 channels. In fact, nearly a dozen updates last year added powerful new features and tools, and the list of third-party hardware control devices supported by Stream Studio has grown in tandem.
2023 is shaping up to be equally as dynamic, and V2.1.0 includes the ability to add guests to your production in 1080p resolution, as well as the option to add DVR/timeshift recordings to productions as additional source – ideal for those situations when live action is overlapping across different physical locations. We’re also expanding some existing tools, e.g. making live stream sources visible in playouts, and adding on-screen time display (TCR) for clips and playouts. In addition, we are opening up the ability to add transitions between playlist items, improving production values and the overall audience experience. Finally, X-Keys has been added to the list of partners whose hardware control devices are supported by Stream Studio, offering even more choice and flexibility to customers.
“It has been quite a year for Stream Studio and I’m very pleased that we’ll be showcasing this latest version of the platform at NAB Show”, comments Tellyo CEO Richard Collins. “Our development team has been working hard to combine customer feedback and our ambitious roadmap into powerful new tools and enhancements that help make Stream Studio the most attractive solution for cloud production available today. If you’ve ever been curious about producing in the cloud, come and see us in Las Vegas and we’ll show you how accessible and efficient it can be”.
Tellyo will be demonstrating Stream Studio and Tellyo Pro throughout NAB Show 2023 on booth N2973. To book a meeting with Tellyo, please visit www.tellyo.com/nab.

Tellyo Announces Final Tellyo Pro Update of 2022
London, UK, 16th December 2022 – Tellyo, the complete cloud production platform, is pleased to announce that thelatest release of Tellyo Pro (version 2.36.0 – code name ‘Cappuccino’) has just gone live. Our final release of 2022 includes some improvements in file format handling, helpful additions to the MultiViewer, support for YouTube Shorts and direct publishing to the TikTok app.
Convert Me
We understand that some customers may wish to work with raw video assets (e.g. in Stream Studio) that do not necessarily meet Tellyo Pro format requirements. We’ve therefore added the option to upload video files to Tellyo as ‘unconverted’ in this case. We’ve also added this ‘unconverted’ option to Watch Folders.
More info: https://app.tellyo.com/guide/first-time-in-folders/
Folders
We’ve added ‘shift + click’ to folders to make it easier to select multiple files and we’ve also improved the download options in folders to enable users to batch download multiple files, saving time when you’re working with multiple assets.
More info: https://app.tellyo.com/guide/first-time-in-folders/
Enjoy the View
We’re really proud of the MultiViewer in Tellyo Pro, and we always appreciate your input and feedback when it comes to improving the user experience. As a result of your comments, we’ve added true peak meters to the MultiViewer as well as adding a full screen mode so you have access to all the information you need.
More info: https://app.tellyo.com/guide/multiviewer/
YouTube Shorts / TikTok
Love it or hate it, short form video content is undeniably here to stay! In recognition, we’ve now included support for YouTube’s latest Shorts format to Tellyo Pro. In addition, we wanted to highlight a feature that some users may not be aware of. Tellyo Pro enables direct publishing of content to the TikTok app, natively within the platform.
More info: https://app.tellyo.com/guide/tiktok-and-youtube-shorts/
For 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!

Tellyo Stream Studio Launches Professional-Grade Audio Mixer
Tellyo’s new audio mixer will enable teams to take full creative control of audio production and processing with a professional audio mixer for use by a technical director or dedicated audio engineer or both – remotely. The new functionality is touch-screen enabled to extend the management of channels and maximise capability across all devices.
Adding to its cloud-based production workflow, the audio mixer features support for up to 64 audio channels, controls for volume, gain, audio follow video (AFV), direct mix (ON), mute, full equalizer, compression, listening to pre-fade post-fade audio and more.
The audio mixer also includes both SIP inputs and SIP outputs. Each SIP connection is visible as a separate input with its own volume and gain control.
The intuitive user interface, 64 audio channels, and professional audio controls will enable broadcasters and publishers to manage professional quality audio for all of their productions for all major platforms.
The continual and fast iteration of the Tellyo Platform is focused on creating better and faster workflows around content creation and distribution. In the next coming months, we plan to bring new enhancements to the audio mixer such as ducking, subgroups and many others. We connect teams and allow for multiple teams and operators to work on a single workflow simultaneously for different purposes.

Tellyo Launches Tellyo Guest
As of November 2020, Tellyo is proud to be launching Tellyo Guest.
As part of Stream Studio, Tellyo Guest allows you to bring in external commentators or contributors into a production from any location via multiple devices. It allows participants to have a real-time web conference and interact with each other in real-time.
Enhanced Live Streaming

Participants need only a computer or a mobile device to stream their webcam, share screens, presentations or just appear with audio; with Stream Studio providing the ability to control all sources and blend them independently to the output. Behind the scenes, in the virtual green room the production team can leverage the Tellyo Guest solution by preparing the guests and providing guidance, ensuring that they’re ready before going live.
The solution provides a full conference call function, so individuals can interact in real time with one another, with Stream Studio allowing all of the video and audio sources to be synced before outputting the final production to as many destinations as required simultaneously. This includes also outputting live graphics and VOD sources.

Feature update – October 2020
What’s new in Tellyo
We’ve got lots of exciting enhancements to share with you this month, including enhancements to replays, a new professional intercom integration feature and powerful production shortcuts, plus more.
Instant replays from four camera angles
In Stream Studio you can now add instant replays from four camera sources. These can be grabbed from live feeds and reinserted into a production, meaning new levels of professionalism for your live streams. Replays can even be controlled by a team member who is remote from the technical director or producer.
Our enhanced replay features reflect a desire here at Tellyo to replicate professional broadcast production workflows into an entirely cloud–based solution, while also delivering associated cost, people and travel savings, without compromising the quality of our toolset.
Direct grab replay button – capture a replay with one button press from the production window and use straight away or fine-tune later on. Added just this month, the direct grab replay button is designed to support the many of you who have a single operator doing everything, while its speed of use will also benefit larger teams.
Tellyo integrates with professional intercom system
You can now extract audio from Stream Studio and all sources (such as live cameras, reporters, guest commentary) and organise into buses to achieve intercom capabilities like mix-minus and monitoring. Audio sources are presented in an easy–to–use on–screen matrix (as shown), with channels supporting low latency vocoders such as G.711, G.722 or Opus.
SIP – To deliver intercom capabilities, Stream Studio now uses SIP gateway technology to input and output audio to both outside lines, master control rooms and third-party services.
Mix-minus – Create as many mix-minus audio-feeds as you need via Stream Studio’s on-screen matrix, such as a reporter who wants to hear everything going to air minus their own commentary.
Monitoring – Utilise a dedicated solo mix to enable your production people to listen to a specific audio source before making it live, such as commentary you want to mix into a production.
Powerful live production
keyboard shortcuts
Build production layouts faster, more easily switch between scenes and quickly make changes when live with Stream Studio’s new, configurable keyboard shortcuts.
Designed to reduce the number of button presses required and to make productions less error prone, keys can now be configured for a particular action or to mimic your hardware set up. For example, cameras can be configured as 1, 2, 3, 4 etc, or QWERTY keys assigned to scenes so you can easily switch between these.
Tellyo Pro focus
Multicast – power live streaming with simultaneous multicasting to 5, 10 or 20+ destinations from a single input.
Groups – support 25 users and multi-user groups in a standard account, allowing you to provide granular access across your teams.
Multi-region – deliver an exceptional, responsive user-experience anywhere by utilising our powerful servers spread across the globe.
Slow Motion – create a slow-motion highlight in real-time from your footage in just three clicks, all within our standard editing workflow.
Huge thanks for your time. We hope you enjoy the new features and please do continue providing suggestions for future improvements.

Feature update – September 2020
What’s new in Tellyo?
Now available to all Tellyo users, we’ve got a host of new features that will make live event streaming easier, our platform friendlier, and better connect everyone involved in your digital broadcasts ‑ from production teams to your global audience and talent.

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.
