New Vantage integrations with Mimir, Iconik, Embrace and Broadteam increase interoperability and help automate and scale operations and connect cloud and on-premises environments.
Telestream has expanded its expertise in media workflows by developing direct integrations with several media platforms including Mimir, Iconik, Embrace and Broadteam, to support new workflow trends and increase interoperability across modern media supply chains. The integrations create opportunities for media organisations to automate workflows, scale operations on demand and connect cloud and on-premises environments for specific purposes.
For media companies that are adopting workflows to deploy across on-prem, cloud and hybrid environments, managing ingest, transcoding, metadata, QC and delivery across all systems is complex. Telestream intends their integrations with browser-based platforms like Mimir, Iconik, Embrace and Broadteam to add agility to operations by allowing creative teams to work from anywhere. Meanwhile, in the background, Telestream Vantage carries out reliable media processing.
Together, the tools help to accelerate turnaround by simplifying processes at all pipeline stages and reducing manual effort. So far, early adopters are using the integrations for tasks such as speeding up the output of highlights packages, centralising QC for delivery to multiple markets and easing remote collaboration for distributed editorial teams.
These integrations, which are outlined below in this article, are available now to joint customers, who can design workflows that align with their existing infrastructure, security requirements and plans for growth. They are similar in nature to the existing integration between Vantage, Avid and Adobe, which supports Edit-While-Ingest workflows that preserve metadata and allow direct hand-offs of assets between team members.
Standards for Interoperability - EBU DMF Protocol
Telestream’s interoperable, integrated workflows are one of the industry's first workflow systems developed for the EBU’s Dynamic Media Facility (DMF) protocol. This initiative aims to define how broadcast infrastructures will look following wider SMPTE 2110 adoption, emphasising flexibility and interconnections.
Based on a software-defined, hardware-agnostic foundation, DMF envisions a cloud-native, layered architecture, including a unified Media Exchange Layer for faster-than-real-time processing, greater cybersecurity and vendor-agnostic deployment. Telestream's participation with EBU will extend its interoperability strategy beyond the vendor integrations outlined here to include the kinds of open, standards-based approaches that are supported by European broadcasters and global partners.
As broadcasters prepare for the demands of the infrastructure of the future, Telestream's DMF adoption will focus on open, scalable, standards-based workflows. The goal is to reduce complexity, and create a path to automation and interoperability that improves speed, quality and visibility across the media supply chain.
The new integrations strengthen Telestream's Global Ingest strategy introduced at IBC2025, unifying live, camera card and file-based ingest into one intelligent pipeline that features structured metadata. Metadata stored in this way can mprove searchability, accelerate collaboration and make sure content flows uninterrupted across on-prem, cloud and hybrid operations.
Vantage and Mimir Cloud-Based Media Asset Management
Vantage and Mimir together enhance cloud-native media management for news, sports and enterprise content operations by automating processing within Mimir's AI-powered, browser-based platform. When content enters a Mimir input bucket via live ingest, upload or another workflow, Vantage will automatically run ingest, QC and metadata creation functions in the background. This enables editors and producers to access, search and work with media in near real-time without manual delays.
An efficient choice for live-to-VOD workflows, the integration makes sure that content is processed, indexed and ready for creative use quickly and accurately, important for distributed production environments and bridging gaps between technical processing and editorial decisions.
Vantage and iconik Real-time Remote Collaboration
The Vantage integration with iconik supports hybrid workflows that unify local and cloud storage in a single, searchable environment. iconik is another cloud-based media management platform that supports hybrid workflows by connecting local and cloud-based storage into a single, searchable environment. Its collaboration tools, which include web-based review and metadata-driven search, work well for decentralised teams working across time zones and locations.
Triggered by folder placement or metadata, Vantage can handle ingest, proxy creation, QC and push processed assets back to iconik for review and distribution. This allows decentralized teams to collaborate in real time without duplicating effort or moving large files unnecessarily.
The iconik integration also works for growing media workflows, enabling editors to work in Adobe Premiere Pro with content as it is captured, while Vantage mirrors originals to the cloud for remote access. This hybrid, cloud-connected approach is simpler for users, speeds turnaround and supports scalable, metadata-driven workflows, ideal for distributed teams, remote post-production and high-volume environments.
Vantage and Embrace Orchestration without Code
Integrated with Vantage, Embrace Pulse-IT simplifies multi-step workflows by combining the robust media processing from Vantage with Embrace's low- or no-code visual orchestration. With the straightforward Embrace interface, teams can visually design, trigger and monitor workflows directly, from ingest and QC to transcoding and metadata transformation, while Vantage handles the heavy processing. As a result, sophisticated media automation comes within reach of non-developers, meaning faster, more adaptable workflows across cloud, hybrid and on-premises environments.
Also supported are complex use cases like live news and sports, multi-stage post-production, and large-scale OTT delivery, with conditional logic, automated routing and, where needed, approvals that involve manual input. As they gain speed and visibility, teams can begin to rely more on engineering and less on manual effort while still ensuring quality, compliance and agility in rapidly changing media operations.
Vantage and Skylog Live Logging, Instant Clip Creation, Archiving
The Broadteam Skylog software integration with Vantage assists live ingest and media indexation. Operators can enrich growing files in real time with manual or automated metadata, so that all the critical moments are captured precisely. Through a web-based interface with AI features, operators can tag, annotate, organize and rate content as it occurs – an important factor in sports and reality-show productions – allowing enriched, timecode-linked metadata to travel smoothly through the workflow.
This collaboration adds Skylog's strengths in live and file logging, clipping and AI-driven indexation to Vantage's transcoding and workflow automation. Reduced manual processes generally result in lower production costs, especially for sports and entertainment, and accelerate turnaround times for editing processes, highlights and archive enrichment. With Skylog x Vantage, broadcasters gain the agility to scale remote and on-premises workflows. www.telestream.net
