Interra Systems For QC

A

t IBC2016, Interra Systems will
demonstrate its comprehensive,
integrated, and intuitive QC/monitoring
solutions.
A key highlight will be new HEVC and
4K support across all of the company's
products, including ORION real-time
content monitoring and video analysis
systems, VEGA media analysers, and
BATON automated, file-based QC.
Interra Systems will provide live
demos of its quality control and
monitoring solutions for checking
and assuring the integrity of 4K UHD,

HEVC, HDR, DPX, and IMF content.
Interra Systems' R&D team has
carefully crafted 4K resolution support
for all its products so that broadcast
operations can truly benefit from the
quality improvements enabled by
higher resolution.
To
improve
picture
quality,
broadcasters not only need to deliver
more pixels, but also better pixels.
With the introduction of increased
resolution in 4K, broadcasters must
support increased intensity and colour
as outlined by the ITU-R BT.2020

specification. Higher bit depths also
need to be supported. Interra Systems'
solutions optimise this process,
enabling better detection of video
quality artefacts and other errors in
high-resolution content.
Interra Systems will showcase BATON
7.0, the latest version of its industryleading QC solution for file-based
SD, HD, and cloud-based workflows.
BATON 7.0 expands upon the system's
pre-existing support for language
verification of subtitles and closedcaption files with new multi-language
checks of audio tracks.
The latest BATON+ QC
optimises the workflow QC
process by allowing 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.
Interra Systems BATON+
The new system 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 effectively track trends and
anomalies in the media content. Using
this tool, operators can optimise
decision-making and perform quality
control on the workflow itself, for
example, analysing only the changes
between files of the same origin
instead of reviewing the derivative
files from scratch.
The latest version of ORION provides
comprehensive SCTE-35 verification
with time-accurate thumbnails around
splice points, closed-caption and
text-service monitoring with logging
and display of captions frame-byframe, encoder boundary point
monitoring, and IGMP monitoring for
network troubleshooting. It also offers
virtualisation and comprehensive QoE
evaluation.
Recent updates to the VEGA family
include support for Windows 10, the
latest HEVC HM reference code, HEVC
interlaced streams, VP9 streams
(4:2:2, 4:4:4), PCAP streams, Dolby
AC-4 audio, and AVS Plus video.
