Lightspeed Live Capture User Guide
wrapper that is essence-agnostic, with out-of-band metadata, timecode, and closed
caption support.
Using TIFO improves the ability to move media files between Telestream's media
processing solutions with all media essence elements and metadata intact, preserving
the widest range of transcoding options.
Note:
TIFO files can be opened as they are being captured, by Telestream's Switch
player and Vantage systems at a time when the captured file reports a non-zero file
size. Requires Switch 4.0 or later.
