Products Group today announced that London-based Ellegy Ltd. ( href="www.ellegy.com">www.ellegy.com ) has
deployed Matrox Multi-Ingest video capture card and Telestream
Wirecast® Pro live webcasting software to capture and stream live
Web coverage of the International GT Open car championship races in
seven countries across Europe.  Ellegy Ltd. is a promotion and
media production company that specializes in motorsports. Upon
being named the official advertising agency for the International
GT Open in January 2011, Ellegy decided to expand its media
services to include a live program dedicated specifically to Web
distribution.

“We chose Matrox and Telestream because they fit our Apple
hardware requirements and because of their exceptional customer
relationship programs which enable us to instantly solve any
technical issue,” said Brian Lavio, CEO at Ellegy Ltd. “Our new Web
program allows us to provide more content, including live camera
transmission from the pit lane and live interviews.”

The Matrox Multi-Ingest and Telestream Wirecast solution was
used to stream live coverage at the May event, Circuit de Nevers
Magny-Cours
( href="www.gtopen.tv/index.php?gara=135&s1=2">www.gtopen.tv/index.php?gara=135&s1=2
) in France, and the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps ( href="www.gtopen.tv/index.php?gara=144&video=479&s1=1&s2=2">

) in Belgium in June.  It will be used throughout the
remainder of the season for the following events which can be
viewed at href="www.gtopen.net/">www.gtopen.net:

  • Brands Hatch Circuit in England, in July
  • Red Bull Ring Circuit in Austria, in August
  • Autodromo do Algarve in Portimao, Portugal, in September
  • Autodromo Internazionale di Monza in Italy, in October
  • Circuit de Catalunya in Barcellona, Spain, in October

“Integration of Matrox Multi-Ingest with Telestream Wirecast Pro
allows journalists and videographers to simultaneously switch
between four live HD-SDI cameras which is perfect for live event
coverage such as the International GT Open,” said Barbara DeHart,
vice president of marketing at Telestream. “We are delighted that
Ellegy chose our joint solution for this highly-respected
event.”

“Matrox Multi-Ingest and Telestream Wirecast Pro provide a huge
step forward in our workflow,” adds Lavio. “Multi-camera live Web
production opens new doors for our company by allowing us to
explore new business opportunities for offering full-HD video to
the Web.”

Ellegy Ltd. is one of the first companies to deploy the
integrated Telestream/Matrox solution which will be available later
