Overview
Telestream UP is one platform with several applications built on top of it — Capture, Review, Workflow, Lens, and Ingest. Each application solves a specific job (capturing a feed, ingesting camera cards, reviewing footage, orchestrating a workflow), but none of them reinvent sign-in, storage, permissions, or billing on their own. Those shared pieces live once, at the platform level, and every application relies on them. Knowing this split helps you find the right place to make a change: if it affects how you use one specific application, look in that application’s docs; if it affects who can do what, where things are stored, what it costs, or who did what and when, look in the platform docs instead.The platform: shared services
These are documented in the Platform section of these docs.
Applications: built on the platform
Each application has its own documentation section covering its screens and workflows. When an application’s behavior depends on something shared — where it stores files, who’s allowed to use it, what it costs — that’s controlled at the platform level rather than inside the app itself.
Why the split matters in practice
- Permissions — An application may have its own “Settings” area for configuring how it behaves, but who can access the application at all, and at what permission level, is set once in User Management (Roles and Groups), not separately per app.
- Storage — Applications don’t hold their own storage credentials. They read and write through Storage locations and Credentials registered once at the platform level, then reused across every application that needs them.
- Billing — Usage across every application rolls up into one Account Overview and one Billing Analytics view — there’s no separate billing per app.
- Audit — Actions taken in any application show up together in the same Audit Log, so you don’t need to check each app individually to see what happened.
- Navigation & Spaces — Every application lives inside the same navigation rail and is scoped to whichever Space you’re currently working in.
