Prior to using BATON, we had significant quality control issues related to speed, missed errors, false errors, and stability. To certify that the content were working on meets the stringent quality requirements imposed by our customers and various standards bodies, we needed a high-performance, file-based, QC solution from a vendor that is trusted in the broadcast and post-production environment, said Ilan Kometz, chief operating officer at Syncro Services Digital Media. BATON is reliable, scalable, and efficient, instantly checking for errors and compliance that would otherwise take our team hours to review and document.

With BATON, the integrity of content is guaranteed throughout each step of the service providers workflow, from ingest to transcoding, playout, and archive.

BATON offers seamless integration with media servers, transcoders, MAM archiving, and workflow solutions through its easy-to-use web services-based APIs, simplifying installations and upgrades. Featuring a scalable architecture, BATON will enable Syncro Services Digital Media to expand easily in the future as its QC needs grow. High availability is a key component of the BATON solution, ensuring that the system continues operating even if one of the hardware components is down.

Time is of the essence in post-production, especially for live broadcast applications, said Ashish Basu, vice president, global sales and business development, Interra Systems.
