Quasar - QC in Cloud

Launched at IBC last year, Quasar is a native Cloud QC system that can be used as a service without investing into the infrastructure. This is ideal for workflows that are already in Cloud where manual QC is extremely difficult. The following key capabilities will be showcased:

1. Pay-Per-Use. Available as a SaaS or as a Private edition for usage within walled Cloud environments.

2. Dynamic Scaling. Dynamic system that can automatically scale to the content volume thereby minimizing the analysis time. A large number of files can be processed in parallel, making full use of Cloud capabilities.

3. Cloud coverage. Works on all major Cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure and Oracle. This offers a seamless experience to the users who may be using multiple Cloud platforms internally.

4. Region intelligence. Smart system that automatically creates processing resources close to your content. This drastically reduces the latency involved with static solutions.

5. REST API. Easy to integrate with your Cloud workflow systems using REST API.

6. Wide range of formats. Supports all the major exchange, Adaptive bitrate and VOD formats out of the box.

Pulsar - File based Automated QC

At NAB 2017, Venera will highlight the following major enhancements to its flagship QC solution Pulsar:

1. IMF/DCP enhancements. Most comprehensive support for IMF and DCP package verification. A wide range of checks are provided to cross-check the meta-data. Pulsar is the only QC system that can analyze the encrypted DCP packages.

2. 2020 Color Space. Support for 2020 Color Space will allow the validation of the luma/chroma & gamut checks for UHD content.

3. PSE enhancements. Pulsar now supports Harding analysis on 4K content. Users can also choose to create a separate Harding certificate as needed.

4. Easier review. Pulsar now allows users to edit the verification report and remove the issues from reports that are approved. They can also add user comments.

5. Media Player. An integrated media player is available with which users can review the alerts directly from within the report. They can also access the timeline view of all the alerts in the Media Player thereby accelerating the review process. The player also has the SDI playout capability with which users can review the problematic areas with their favorite devices.

6. Baseband checks. Users can now detect the Camera Dead Pixels and Short scenes issues.

7. Factory templates. Existing factory templates have been enhanced to incorporate the latest recommendations. New templates for AS-10 and NABA have also been added to the package.

8. Loudness correction. Pulsar now supports loudness correction for MPEG-1 layer 2 and PCM audio formats in a wide range of formats such as MXF, GXF, QuickTime, MPEG Transport stream, and MPEG Program stream.

Pulsar continues to be the favourite QC system when it comes to user experience. Even with all the added features, we continue to keep the tool easy to use so that users can take advantage of all the advanced capabilities in the system with ease.

Pulsar Score

Venera will announce its brand new technology called Pulsar Score. Using Pulsar Score, users can automatically measure the quality of transcoded content against the source in a reliable manner. This can significantly reduce the manual intervention needed to ascertain the transcoding quality.

Users typically struggle with detection of quality degradation introduced due to transcoding and compression, resorting to full manual QC to ascertain this. Either they have to invest significantly in the manpower that does this QC or they completely skip this step leading to potential problems experienced by the consumers. Pulsar Score would be ideal for ABR content, used by OTT services, where the original content is compressed to multiple lower rate files to facilitate the OTT environment. Pulsar Score eases this problem and gives the users a way to verify
