Las Vegas, Nevada, National Assn of Broadcasters (NAB) Convention, April 16, 2007 – Telestream, the leading global provider of encoding-based media workflow solutions, today announced direct integration of its Episode™ Series media encoding applications with Compresser 3, Apple's industrial strength encoding tool included with Final Cut Studio 2. The integration expands encoding capabilities for Final Cut Studio users to an extensive array of video and audio formats and encoding settings including Flash 8, Windows Media and VC-1, as well as broadcast specific formats like GXF, IMX, MPEG-2 4:2:2 and high profile H.264.
