Please visit Venera Technologies at Booth #SU7518 at NAB 2017, where Venera will showcase its brand new Native Cloud QC system, Quasar, and major enhancements to its existing portfolio of automated file based QC solutions.

Pulsar is an on-premise file based Automated QC that is one of the fastest (6x real-time HD analysis) and easiest to use systems in the market, used by leading media organizations worldwide.
Venera will also introduce a new technology called Pulsar Score that allows users to measure the content quality in a fast, automatic and reliable manner. Pulsar Score will be available as part of the Pulsar suite of applications.
New at NAB 2017 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:
Pay-Per-Use. Available as a SaaS or as a Private edition for usage within walled Cloud environments.
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.
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.
Region intelligence. Smart system that automatically creates processing resources close to your content. This drastically reduces the latency involved with static solutions.

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.

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 the quality before it is publ
