Interra Systems’ QC solutions simplify streaming
The emergence of new stand-
ards, formats and device types
has resulted in changing video
production and deliver y ap-
proaches, making video streaming
workflows more complex than
traditional broadcast.
In ensuring “seamless” de-
livery of video on every device,
Interra Systems is offering its
Baton QC solution that leverages
artificial intelligence and machine
learning-based advanced algo-
rithms. Featuring support for the
VAST protocol and hybrid QC
workflows, Baton is enhanced
with support for high dynamic
range (HDR) content, and audio
language detection capabilities.
With Baton’s new auto-scaling
feature, users are able to adjust
their Baton system to manage
peaks in QC content accordingly.
Furthermore, Baton supports
a wide range of new codecs
and formats, as well as multiple
digital rights management (DRM)
systems to ensure quality is main-
tained on every screen.
Alongside Baton, Interra Sys-
tems is exhibiting its Vega media
analysis solution for standards
compliance, debug and inter-
operability of encoded streams.
Recent updates to the Vega
family include in-depth analysis
of adaptive bitrate (ABR) for-
mats, support for Windows 10,
HEVC/H.265 HM reference code,
HEVC/H.265-interlaced streams,
VP9 streams, PCAP streams,
Dolby AC-4 audio and AVS Plus
