    Telestream Global Ingest Workflow Powered by Vantage Opens the Front Door to Media Creation

    Unified ingest strategy spans live, camera card, and file-based workflows with hybrid-cloud scalability and system-aware metadata: See it in action at IBC2025

    NEVADA CITY, CA / ACCESS Newswire / August 27, 2025 / Telestream, a global leader in media workflow technologies, will debut its new Global Ingest strategy at IBC2025, introducing a next-generation ingest architecture that seamlessly unifies live capture, camera card ingest, and file-based workflows. Built on the proven Vantage platform, the new workflow capabilities are designed for ultimate flexibility, scalability, and efficiency, supporting on-premises, hybrid, and cloud environments. Central to the strategy is Telestream’s practical use of AI. Rather than generating unstructured “metadata dumps,” Telestream Global Ingest produces structured, system-aware, and standards-compliant metadata at the point of capture. This enables instant interoperability with a wide range of platforms, such as Avid, Iconik, and Mimir, accelerating editorial, archive discovery and distribution while eliminating workflow bottlenecks.

    With Global Ingest, we’re transforming a fragmented technical hurdle into a unified entry point for high-speed production and operational efficiency,” said Charlie Dunn, EVP of Product Management at Telestream. “By standardizing ingest on the Vantage platform, we eliminate the need for proprietary vendors and rigid integrations, enabling customers to move content from any source into any editorial or MAM system with speed and precision. We are making ingest a strategic advantage rather than a workflow gap.

    A Unified, Intelligent Ingest Platform

    Telestream’s scalable ingest capabilities empower technical teams with precision, flexibility, and speed, no matter the format, source, or operational environment (on-prem, hybrid, or cloud). It supports a wide range of media operations, from high-performance, real-time ingest for live sports and news, to scalable file-based ingest for post-production and media supply chains.

    Highlights include:

    • Vantage Live Capture – A high-performance ingest engine with unmatched input/output flexibility. Supporting ST 2110, SDI, SRT, NDI, MPEG-TS, and RTMP, it enables centralized ingest from IP, SDI, and even tape-based sources. With support for up to 16 channels in a single RU and deep codec support, Live Capture seamlessly integrates into editorial and MAM systems such as Avid and Adobe.

    • Live Schedule PRO 2.0 – A high-availability, enterprise-ready scheduling platform with clustered deployment, automation, and failover capabilities. Designed for continuous operation, it’s ideal for live newsrooms, sports broadcasters, and 24/7 ingest environments.

    • Camera Card Ingest – Telestream’s camera card ingest solution delivers a streamlined user experience with enhanced metadata extraction, multi-destination workflows, and tight Vantage integration. It accelerates turnaround times for editors and supports modern content production at scale.

    • Review: Proxyless Player for Distributed Teams – A professional-grade playback experience for live and captured media, with real-time 10-bit native playback, scopes, and audio monitoring. Review will support remote editorial collaboration without the need for proxy generation.

    Free Tips Businesses Can Apply Today

    Website & Landing Pages

    • One clear call-to-action (“Get a Quote,” “Book Now”) should appear both at the top and bottom of the page.

    • Each offer should be on its own page to reduce distractions and increase conversions.

    • Testimonials and before/after visuals near the form help boost trust. Pages should load in under 3 seconds.

    SEO (Search Engine Optimization)

    • The primary keyword should appear in the page title, H1 and opening paragraph.

    • A complete Google Business Profile with weekly updates and authentic photos enhances visibility.

    • Location-specific terms (e.g., “HVAC repair in Sherman Oaks”) improve local reach. Internal linking between related pages supports rankings.

    Google Ads (PPC)

    • Start with high-intent search terms like “emergency plumber near me.”

    • Negative keywords (such as “free,” “DIY” or “jobs”) help prevent unqualified clicks.

    • Ads should align closely with dedicated landing pages and conversion tracking must be enabled.

    Social Media Advertising

    • The first two seconds of video content should highlight the main benefit or outcome.

    • Multiple versions of each creative should be tested, with underperformers replaced.

    • Use square (1:1) content for feed ads and vertical (9:16) for stories and reels. Keep messaging focused and minimal.

    Email & SMS Marketing

    • A welcome series of three emails – educational tips, common questions and a small incentive – can improve engagement.

    • Messages should be segmented based on buyer behavior (new leads vs. returning customers).

    • SMS should always include proper opt-in, respect quiet hours and link to a single clear destination.

    Online Listings & Reviews

    • Business name, address and phone number should match across all major platforms.

    • Review requests should be sent 3-7 days after service, ideally via text with a direct link.

    • All reviews should receive thoughtful replies that include thanks and a next step.

    Analytics & CRM

    • Assign unique phone tracking numbers to each channel to understand what drives inbound calls.

    • Campaign links should be tagged with UTMs for accurate lead attribution.

    • A simple sales pipeline (e.g., New → Qualified → Quote → Won/Lost) helps maintain visibility and accountability.

    EON Resources Inc. Reports Management and Directors Purchased 364,000 Shares of EON Class A Common Stock

    HOUSTON, TX / ACCESS Newswire / August 27, 2025 / EON Resources Inc. (NYSE American:EONR) (“EON” or the “Company”) is an independent upstream energy company with 20,000 leasehold acres comprised of two fields in the Permian Basin in southeast New Mexico. The fields have a total of 750 producing and injection wells producing over 1,000 barrels of oil per day. Today, the Company reports that part of the management team and several independent directors (“Team”) purchased a combined 364,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on the open market in the last week.

    “The Team is restricted from buying stock under black-out periods for significant blocks of time through-out the year. After a certain number of days have passed from the filing of our 10-Q, the black-out is lifted until certain rules resume the black-out,” said Mitchell B. Trotter, CFO of the Company. “When the black-out period was lifted, the Team was able to, and did, purchase a significant number of shares last week.”

    “With our second quarter results published, and the previously announced funding that is expected to be completed in September, management is extremely optimistic about our future. The management and directors timely purchased EON shares in the open market as allowed,” said Dante Caravaggio, President and CEO of the Company.

    “This is a very seasoned management team, one of the best in the oil and gas industry. I am pleased and thankful they believe, as I do, that this company has a fantastic future and that our common stock is fundamentally undervalued,” said Joseph Salvucci, Sr., EON’s Chairman of the Board. “The group has accumulated EON stock when allowed, and collectively own around 3 million shares. These purchases demonstrate that we are deeply invested in this company and its potential. We are committed to our shareholders.”

    About EON Resources Inc.

    EON is an independent upstream energy company focused on maximizing total returns to its shareholders through the development of onshore oil and natural gas properties in a diversified portfolio of long-life producing oil and natural gas properties and other energy holdings. EON’s approach is to build an energy company through acquisition and through selective development of its properties. Class A Common Stock of EON trades on the NYSE American Stock Exchange under the symbol of “EONR” and the Company’s public warrants trade under the symbol of “EONRWS”.

    About the Grayburg-Jackson Field Property

    Our Grayburg-Jackson Field (“GJF”) is primarily a waterflood property located on the Northwest Shelf of the Permian Basin in Eddy County, New Mexico. The GJF comprises of 13,700 contiguous leasehold acres with 342 producing wells, 207 injection wells and 1 water source well for a total of 550 wells. Leasehold rights include the Seven Rivers, Queen, Grayburg and San Andres intervals that range from as shallow as 1,500 feet to 4,000 feet in depth. The December 2024 reserve report from our third-party engineer, Haas and Cobb Petroleum Consultants, LLC, estimates proven reserves of approximately 14.0 million barrels of oil and 2.8 billion cubic feet of natural gas. The mapped original-oil-in-place (“OOIP”) is approximately 956 million barrels of oil. Primary production is currently from the Seven Rivers formation. In addition to proven reserves, the Company believes it may access an additional 34 million barrels of oil by adding perforations in the Grayburg and San Andres formations, plus another 40 million barrels from a horizontal drilling program in the San Andres. More information on the property can be located on the Grayburg-Jackson Field page of our website.

    About the South Justis Field Property

    The South Justis Field (“SJF”) is a carbonate reservoir similar to the rest of the Permian, and is located in Lea County, New Mexico approximately 100 miles from the GJF. The SJF is comprised of 5,360 contiguous acres containing 208 total producing and injection wells with well spacing of 50 acres. The producing formations include the Glorietta, Blinebry, Tubb, Drinkard and Fusselman intervals that range from 5,000 feet to 7,000 feet in depth. The original-oil-in-place (“OOIP”) is approximately 207 million barrels of oil. More information on the property can be located on the South Justis Field page of our website.

    Forward-Looking Statements

    The South Justis Field (“SJF”) is a carbonate reservoir, similar to the rest of the Permian. The SJF was first developed in the 1960’s and had an initial production in the 6,000 BOPD range. The waterflood implemented at a cost of $40 million dollars in the 1990’s by a major oil company had mediocre performance due to poor connectivity between wells, which indicates an opportunity for horizontal infill well drilling. The subsequent owners of the SJF had higher priorities, which led to an increase in idle wells with downhole failures, thus allowing the production to drop dramatically. The Seller acquired the field and has reactivated several wells with good results increasing the production of oil. This indicates that there are a significant number of wells that can be reactivated to increase production on existing wells.

    The SJF comprises of 5,360 contiguous acres with 208 combined producing and injection wells with well spacing of 50 acres. The field is located in the Central Basin of the prolific Permian Basin in Lea County, New Mexico located approximately 100 miles from EON’s Grayburg-Jackson Oil Field property. The producing formations include the Glorietta, Blinebry, Tubb, Drinkard and Fusselman intervals that range from 5,000 feet to 7,000 feet in depth. The original-oil-in-place (“OOIP”) is approximately 207 million barrels of oil.

  • C-Store Case Study: How a Beverage Solution Transformed the Shopper Experience

    C-Store Case Study: How a Beverage Solution Transformed the Shopper Experience

    WINSTON-SALEM, NC / ACCESS Newswire / August 27, 2025 / Balancing vendor preferences with merchandising realities is an everyday challenge in C-store environments. As Quality Mart discovered, it’s also a significant opportunity to build sales.

    Quality Mart began its transformation journey with a seemingly simple challenge: address beverage clutter on the perimeter of the story. “I wanted a beverage solution that would consolidate take-home packages plus two-liter bottles,” said Mike Roscoe, Quality Mart’s director of merchandising and category management. Concurrently, Roscoe was seeking out new center store solutions, including gondolas, cold vault, and beer cave racking, for a planned store remodel.

    What Roscoe found was a limited selection of beverage display options, along with lengthy delays on new center store fixtures. In addition, he had concerns about the quality of the products. Out of curiosity, Roscoe reached out to ImageWorks Display®, his trusted provider of back bar solutions. What he found surprised him. “I started talking with ImageWorks about my need for beverage racking. Then I saw they had center store fixtures as well.”

    Roscoe’s initial outreach jump-started a collaborative process tightly focused on his specific situation. He scheduled a session with the ImageWorks team at their Winston-Salem, NC, Client Collaboration Center to share additional insights on what he was seeking. The ImageWorks team responded with a customized plan tapping the company’s Planniq Strong® beer cave racking, Planniq Core® and Planniq Tech® gondola systems, and new Planniq Chill® cooler racking lines. The new design consolidated beverage options in one streamlined, shopper-friendly design while reducing Quality Mart’s overall beverage footprint. New gondola and cooler fixtures perfectly coordinated with the beverage solution to create a cohesive and elevated shopper experience.

    “It looks like a new store,” Roscoe said. He was so pleased with the resulting store reconfiguration – and the ImageWorks process — that he ordered other displays for additional locations. “ImageWorks team members are absolute professionals,” said Roscoe. “They pay great attention to detail, and they were incredibly courteous to my store staff. I’m really excited to see where they go.”

  • 10kg 20kg Olympic Bumper Weight Plates for Adaptable Home Fitness Routines Newly Launched by Strongway Gym Supplies UK

    10kg 20kg Olympic Bumper Weight Plates for Adaptable Home Fitness Routines Newly Launched by Strongway Gym Supplies UK

    Stratford-on-Avon, England – August 27, 2025 – (PRESS ADVANTAGE) –

    Strongway Gym Supplies has broadened its line-up with new weight plate sets that reflect the steady shift toward at-home and small-scale training. The approach is rooted in practical choices: plates that are reliable under load, stack neatly in tight corners, and stay consistent in size so they fit correctly on common bars. British homes rarely have spare rooms to dedicate to full gyms, so space efficiency matters as much as strength. The latest additions are designed for that reality, supporting gradual progression for beginners and leaving headroom for experienced lifters who want equipment that can grow with them. Attention has also been paid to small details that make daily use easier, like readable markings, balanced weight distribution, and finishes that resist chips from repeated handling.

    Among the new offerings are the one-inch plate sets, available in three useful bundles: 50kg, 70kg, and 100kg. They pair naturally with standard one-inch barbells, still widely used in domestic setups. The smaller sets provide just enough range for households where multiple users want manageable steps between lifts, while the heavier 100kg bundle supports longer-term progress without forcing an early upgrade. Their compact diameter helps them sit comfortably on shorter racks or pegs, and the balanced design ensures even loading during presses, squats, and other compound lifts. Many lifters setting up in garages or spare rooms will find these sets offer enough versatility to cover months of progression before additional purchases become necessary. Readers wishing to review the available sets in detail may visit: https://strongway.co.uk/products/50kg-70kg-100kg-one-inch-1-25mm-weight-plates-set.

    Another notable addition is Strongway’s Olympic bumper plate collection. Constructed from dense rubber with reinforced steel centres, these plates are built to withstand repeated drops — a key consideration for anyone practising explosive lifts such as cleans, jerks, and snatches. With a uniform 2-inch diameter, they align with international standards, ensuring that training at home feels consistent with gym or competition setups. Their noise-dampening quality is particularly valued in terraced houses or flats, where late-night training would otherwise disturb others. Clear colour coding aids quick transitions, reducing wasted time between sets, and the reinforced hubs allow the plates to sit securely even during dynamic movements. For athletes pursuing Olympic lifts at home, these qualities provide both reassurance and practicality.

    The growing popularity of Olympic lifting has highlighted the importance of plates that balance performance with safety. Unlike traditional cast-iron discs, bumper plates allow controlled drops without damaging floors or equipment. This lowers the risk of hesitation during heavy attempts, as lifters can focus fully on form and execution. For beginners, that margin of safety often makes the difference between learning confidently and holding back due to concern about damage. For more advanced lifters, it opens the door to chasing personal bests in an environment that mimics competitive conditions. Many home gym owners are now combining bumper plates with standard iron sets to create flexible training stations that cover everything from technique work to max-effort sessions. For readers seeking a more detailed discussion of this approach, Strongway has published an additional article on Olympic bumper weight plates, outlining how these plates support both long-term progress and the safety of the training environment.

    Consistency across the new Strongway range is another key theme. Standard plates carry clear markings to avoid confusion during quick changes, while the bumper sets use tough rubber that resists cracks and chips even with daily use. Taken together, the two product families give home gym builders confidence that their equipment will remain dependable over time. From simple barbell rows and presses to the technical lifts that define Olympic training, each piece has been shaped with attention to function as well as to last long. The result is a coherent system where plates stack well, load predictably, and store neatly when sessions end. For those who need their workout space to double as a living space, these details help maintain order without sacrificing performance.

    With the addition of new standard and Olympic bumper plates, Strongway Gym Supplies strengthens its position as a trusted source for reliable and accessible home training equipment. The company’s approach continues to focus on everyday usability, recognising that most lifters value equipment that is straightforward, durable, and sized to fit the limits of domestic spaces. From hobbyists beginning their strength journey to seasoned trainers building a complete home setup, the expanded range reflects a balance of quality and practicality.
