Nevada City, California, March 31, 2021 — Telestream®, a portfolio company of Genstar Capital and a leading provider of digital media tools and workflow solutions, today announced the acquisition of ContentAgent from Vecima Networks. ContentAgent is an application used around the world by top tier broadcasters, production companies and post houses to streamline content creation workflows.

“We are very excited to be joining the Telestream family and are looking forward to seeing ContentAgent contribute to Telestream’s continued growth,” said Owen Walker, Director, ContentAgent.
With its intuitive graphic user interface, ContentAgent streamlines media ingest making it easier to transition from field production to the post production process. It brings extensive media processing efficiencies to anyone developing content for new media platforms and enterprise communications.
The ContentAgent team, based primarily in the UK, will be fully integrated into the Telestream family. Existing customers can expect to see additional resources being deployed to support ContentAgent around the world.
