“Jump To” allows you to jump to a specific timecode, frame or time in your
video.

Use the Audio Meters to solo or mute audio channels, and inspect true peaks and
momentarily loudness values. Switch Pro adds a loudness panel that calculates
gated (BS.1770-3) or ungated (BS.1770-2) loudness levels.





COMPARE ALTERNATE MEDIA  PRO

Compare Alternate Media lets you open additional media files to compare with
your primary media file. Up to sixteen alternate media files can be opened. Once

Switch was among the first players to achieve DPP/AMWA certification as part of
the DPP (Digital Production Partnership)’s Compliance Program.





ENOUGH INFORMATION BUT NOT TOO MUCH

Switch displays all the relevant media information about your file in an
intuitive, well organized interface. The inspector is deep enough to be
meaningful, without giving users so much information that it becomes cumbersome.

rate. Switch also supports downmixing: take a file with eight channels and mix
it down to stereo.

...AND OUR REVIEWERS LIKE US TOO!


"I’VE BEEN HOOKED ON SWITCH AS A TOOL TO HELP ME WATCH, CHECK AND MAKE QC
CHANGES TO FILES."



– ROBBIE CARMAN, MIXING LIGHT


"ONCE APPLE PULLED THE PLUG ON QUICKTIME PLAYER PRO 7, THE INDUSTRY STARTED TO
LOOK ELSEWHERE FOR A MEDIA TOOL FOR THE PROPER PLAYBACK, INSPECTION AND ENCODING
OF MEDIA FILES. FOR MANY, THAT NEW MULTIPURPOSE APPLICATION HAS BECOME
TELESTREAM’S SWITCH."



– REDSHARK NEWS


"SWITCH PRO IS NOT ONLY A QUALITY CONTROL APPLICATION BUT ALSO ALLOWS YOU TO
EXPORT MODIFIED VIDEO FILES. I HAVE BEEN REVIEWING SWITCH SINCE IT FIRST CAME TO
MARKET AND FOUND IT TO BE A POWERFUL QC AND FILE FIXING TOOL."



– VISUALS PRODUCER (PREVIOUSLY: IT ENQUIRER)


"WITH THE DEATH OF QUICKTIME, TELESTREAM’S SWITCH IS POISED TO RISE FROM THE
ASHES AND TAKE QUICKTIME’S PLACE AS YOUR MAIN APPLICATION FOR ALL YOUR FILE
QUALITY CONTROL, AND VIEWING NEEDS."



– PRO VIDEO COALITION


"PERSONALLY, I DON’T USE QUICKTIME ANYMORE AT ALL. I HAVE CHANGED THE “ALWAYS
OPEN WITH” OPTION FOR VIDEO FILES TO SWITCH IN THE OS X FINDER, BECAUSE SWITCH
IS SUPERIOR IN EVERY POSSIBLE ASPECT."



– VISUALS PRODUCER (PREVIOUSLY: IT ENQUIRER)


"SINCE APPLE IS ACTIVELY DEPRECATING QUICKTIME WITH EACH NEW VERSION OF MAC OS
X, IT STANDS TO REASON THAT AT SOME POINT QUICKTIME PLAYER PRO WILL CEASE TO
FUNCTION. TELESTREAM – MAKER OF THE HIGHLY-REGARDED EPISODE ENCODER – PLANS TO
BE READY WITH SWITCH."



– DIGITALFILMS


"SWITCH BY TELESTREAM HAS RECEIVED POSITIVE RATING AND REVIEW BY ITS EXISTING
USERS. IF YOU HAVE USED ANY ONE OF THE TELESTREAM PRODUCTS SUCH AS SCREENFLOW ON
YOUR MAC BEFORE, THEN THERE IS NO NEED OF INTRODUCTION ABOUT THE RICHNESS AND
QUALITY OF THIS SOFTWARE."



– DAILYTUT


"TELESTREAM’S SWITCH IS THE PROFESSIONAL MEDIA AND METADATA INSPECTOR I HAVE
BEEN DREAMING OF — IT JUST SO HAPPENS TO DO SOME TRANSCODING TOO. SWITCH
DISPLAYS JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF INFO YOU WANT TO LOOK AT WITHOUT HAVING TO BE
BOGGED DOWN BY MENUS AND CHOICES."



– POSTPERSPECTIVE


"THE INSPECTOR IS WHAT MAKES SWITCH A REALLY POWERFUL TOOL THAT EVERY
SEMI-PRO/PRO VIDEO EDITOR SHOULD HAVE...SWITCH IS A MUST-HAVE IF YOU’RE AN
ACTIVE VIDEO PRODUCER/EDITOR."



– VISUALS PRODUCER (PREVIOUSLY: IT ENQUIRER)
