France Télévisions Accelerates Media Workflows with Telestream Vantage and Videlio
Project Objectives
France Télévisions initiated this transformation with three core goals:
- Speed: Reduce media processing time across all regional channels
- Automation: Implement advanced, scalable workflows
- Sustainability: Optimize resources to lower the environmental impact
Thanks to the implementation of 12 Telestream Vantage systems, the broadcaster reduced processing time for one hour of content from three hours to just 20 minutes — a significant leap in operational performance.
Seamless Workflow Integration with iMedia Platform
The Videlio team ensured the seamless integration of Telestream Vantage into the iMedia platform, which manages content creation and distribution across France Télévisions’ network.
By leveraging Telestream’s open API architecture, Videlio customized the solution to fit regional operational workflows. This included building automated processes that minimize manual intervention and increase system responsiveness.
Key Workflow Features:
- CML (Configuration Media Lists): Automate content assembly based on iMedia compositions
- Kantar Médiamétrie watermark automation: Ensure precise audience measurement tracking
- Intelligent media routing: Deliver files to the correct broadcast splicer automatically
- Dynamic branding compliance: Insert channel and CSA logos using real-time API data
These optimizations improve workflow reliability and reduce the risk of human error.
Expert Implementation & Collaboration
The project was led by Fabian Buchta, Broadcast Engineer at Videlio and Telestream Vantage specialist, in close coordination with France Télévisions’ technical teams.
