BroadcastAsia2016 Exhibitor Preview Interra Systems Booth 5L5-01

CUPERTINO, Calif. May 25, 2016

As operators in the global broadcast, cable, telco, satellite, IPTV, OTT, and post-production markets deliver a growing amount of high-quality video content, including UHD/4K, to various screens, the need for reliable, efficient, and scalable quality control (QC) and monitoring solutions becomes ever more critical.

At BroadcastAsia2016, Interra Systems will demonstrate the most comprehensive, integrated, and intuitive QC/monitoring solutions available on the market today. A key highlight will be Interra Systems new ORION OTT software-based solution for monitoring the integrity of adaptive bitrate (ABR) content and related network performance in an OTT environment.

Key Product Introductions and Demos

BATON Automated, File-based QC

At BroadcastAsia2016, Interra Systems will showcase BATON 7.0, the latest version of its industry-leading QC solution for file-based SD, HD, and mixed workflows. BATON 7.0 enhances the overall user interface and usability, system performance, and quality checking features, streamlining QC operations in a file-based environment.

The BATON 7.0 user interface now features a revamped functionality across smart folders, manual scheduling, test plans, reports, and more, simplifying the user experience while continuing to provide the flexibility and a vast feature set BATON is known for. Significant architectural changes have also been made to BATON 7.0 to enhance the overall throughput of the system.

The BATON 7.0 system offers comprehensive video/audio quality checks, including new support for text detection (including language) and recognition of burnt-in subtitles, audio language detection, detection of new audio quality noises, as well as support for the latest loudness ITU-R BS.1770 specification. In addition, BATON 7.0 supports new image formats like TIFF/Targa, enhanced closed captions, and updates to DPP/ARD_ZDF compliance support.

BATON 7.0 also features a more intuitive and stand-alone media player interface with support for complete manual review flow. Additional new features include mark-in/mark-out in timeline and vectorscope display. Furthermore, BATON Content Corrector (BCC) can now be accessed remotely via a Web browser.

BATON QC and Data Analysis

The latest BATON QC and data analysis system will be on display at BroadcastAsia2016. BATON features enhanced workflow QC capabilities, including the ability for users to define workflows representing the stages through which media content flows in a facility. By defining workflows, BATON users can ensure metadata consistency and compare QC reports in different ways across content lineage.

The latest release also improves upon data analysis. BATON seamlessly integrates with multiple BATON installations, captures the QC data, and offers a visual representation of the data analysis results in the form of reports and graphs. This enables users to track trends and anomalies effectively in the media content. Using this tool, operators can optimize decision-making and perform quality control on the workflow itself, for example, analyzing only the changes between files of the same origin instead of reviewing the derivative files from scratch.

ORION OTT ABR Monitoring System

At BroadcastAsia2016, Interra Systems will introduce ORION OTT, one of the industrys first software-based OTT solutions for real-time monitoring of adaptive bitrate (ABR) content for multiscreen service delivery.
