modular design of the self-paced training video is ideal for both
beginners needing to step into the software and the seasoned pro
needing to quickly learn the very latest Episode 5.1 features.

products," comments Barbara DeHart, VP of Marketing at Telestream.
"Instructor Nate Caplin does a great job demystifying multi-format,
multi-distribution workflows while giving expert and engaging
instruction on using Episode products to produce the very best
content regardless of its production platform or distribution
channel."

"Every editor today really needs to understand how to effectively use
industry leading compression technology like Episode - it is part of
their job. This is not an easy task given the number of formats and
distribution channels that are continually being thrown into the
mix," said Paul Holtz, CEO and founder, Class on Demand. "Our
instructor Nate Caplin really does a fantastic job at simplifying
these complexities while providing a very clear path for learning and
mastering the powerful Episode technology."
"Complete Training for Episode and Episode Pro" covers every aspect
of the Telestream encoding workflow. Class on Demand self-paced
chapters are broken down into logical segments; user interface and
features, understanding and using filters, compression settings for
web, compression settings for mobile and portable media devices,
compression settings for disc authoring and compression settings for
editing and standards conversion. The modular approach enables
students to focus on specific compression scenarios or step through
the training in a non-linear approach best suited for their learning
needs.
