Vantage Licenses and Related Information

Vantage licenses enable specific Vantage features or feature sets. All Vantage software is available on the Telestream web site. You can download and install Vantage software in demo mode without licenses. At your convenience you can purchase licenses and add them to Vantage for only those products you need. If you need additional products later, you can purchase licenses for additional options.

Note: Some Vantage programs and features are available only with particular Vantage product licenses. To ensure you get the features you want, contact Telestream sales for the latest bundling and licensing information.

Product licenses do not include maintenance and support, which must be ordered separately.

Camera ingest software automates and simplifies camera ingest, transcoding and importing of shots in an editing system, freeing editors to focus on editing, instead of manually finding, importing and stitching clips.
  • Dublist Portal—Dublist Portal for Vantage is a software option that provides the ability for Vantage users to monitor for incoming content, and compare that against a Dublist, which is a CSV file that includes media information. The Dublist Portal shows found and missing content and makes it easy for operators to identify missing files. Requires Vantage Transcode Pro or Transcode Pro Connect.
  • Nielsen Watermarking Option—Allows insertion of Nielsen NAES2 and Nielsen Watermarking audio watermarks for measurement of D4 or D7 ratings for VOD content and also for commercial monitoring with Nielsen’s Sigma and KeepingTrac services.

Subtitle Overlay output parameters include font style selector, text color, background color/opacity, text outline color/thickness. Also shows safe title margins. Timed Text Flip workflows require a transcoder to burn-in the subtitle graphics into a deliverable media file.

The workflow licenses enable various features specific to automating media workflows:

  • Vantage Analysis—Includes analysis for curtains, letterboxing, Telecine, black detection, slate/spot detection, macroblocking, loudness measurement with dialog detection and gating controls for compliance with CALM Act, ATSC A/85, BS-1770-3 and EBU R128, and more. Includes PSNR measurement for comparing two files. This is a software only, single server license.
  • Vantage Analysis Pro—Includes all capabilities of Vantage Analysis, with additional capabilities for Dolby E audio detection and analysis, compliance checking, PDF reporting, and integration with MediaInfo for extended media properties. This is a software only, single server license.
  • Upgrade from Analysis to Analysis Pro—Upgrades from Vantage Analysis to Vantage Analysis Pro. This is a single license upgrade.
  • Vantage Open Workflows—The Open Workflows license enables workflows and actions to operate in open mode, which allows open-eligible actions to operate concurrently rather than serially. This feature greatly improves workflow processing speed and efficiency. The license must be installed before the feature can be enabled. Open Workflows are licensed on a per server basis. For example, if you have a 5 node array and 3 license seats of Open Workflows, then 3 out of the 5 servers will be Open-capable. If a user would like to release an Open Workflows license seat from a server in order to make it available to a different server, the user may put all the services on a machine that has an Open Workflows license seat in and out of maintenance mode. This will cause the license seat to be acquired by a different server that previously did not have an Open Workflows license seat. Lightspeed Live Servers include Open Workflows at no extra charge. However, Lightspeed Live servers are limited to a small subset of the Vantage services.
  • Vantage Workflow Portal—The Vantage Workflow Portal allows operators to browse assets in the Vantage catalog, construct EDLs, enter metadata, and submit jobs to Vantage workflows.

The Vantage System Management license allows you to install Vantage services on multiple Windows or Telestream Lightspeed servers, increasing the capacity and reliability of your Vantage domain. Vantage array features include the following:

  • Redundancy—Multiple Vantage array servers can host the same service, increasing the processing capacity of the Vantage domain.
  • Session-based load balancing—When a Vantage service is enabled on multiple Vantage array servers, individual workflow actions can be executed by any Vantage array server that is configured for the supporting service. Action execution is scheduled based on CPU availability and priority.
  • Priority acceleration for transcoding actions—Vantage servers, both single node and arrays, can pause lower priority actions hosted on the same service, execute the higher priority action, and then resume the lower priority action.
  • N+1 failover protection—Vantage array servers communicate with each other and can redistribute the workload if a Vantage array server fails. If a job fails to complete due to a Vantage array server failure, another Vantage array server restarts the job.
  • Support for mirrored SQL Standard and SQL Enterprise with Clustering databases—provides redundancy and failover protection for the Vantage domain database.

If the current domain is an all-in-one domain, the activation of a Vantage Array license changes the Vantage server to a Vantage array server. You can then create a distributed domain by adding Vantage array servers. In a Vantage array, every Vantage server is a Vantage array server and requires the Vantage Array license.

Additional System Management options to the Vantage Array license are:

  • Advanced Task Scheduling—Adds advanced task scheduling to Vantage, including the new Task Based load balancing and the legacy Cost Based load balancing. Increases overall system throughput by optimizing server usage for all Actions across all services in a Vantage array while Cost Based load balancing provides optimization of Actions only across like services. Task Based load balancing is the new recommended load balancing methodology. Array is sold separately.

Requires automated reporting of Vantage domain size to Telestream billing servers.
  • Vantage Elastic Domain Burst—Daily rental of a domain-specific license set for use on supplemental Vantage instances. License set may only include licenses present elsewhere in the Vantage domain as standard perpetual licenses. Requires active V-ELASTIC annual subscription. Supplemental licenses are acquired on-demand when additional burst instances are deployed and can be monitored via interactive billing console. Minimum rental period is one day.
