Venera Announces Pulsar Updates For NAB 2015

Venera has announced the products it will be bringing to this year's NAB Show in Las Vegas.

Pulsar™ PPU (Pay-Per-Use) provides capabilities to users wishing to implement QC without making an up-front capital investment.

It makes the QC functions of the Pulsar automated file-based QC solution available to facilities as they are needed. Pulsar PPU is a software solution that operates within the user's facility without requiring the installation of additional network infrastructure.

As content QC requirements grow, users can migrate to a stand-alone version of Pulsar.

New Formats – Pulsar now supports analysis of unencrypted MPEG-DASH content. Users can now create ABR templates to automatically analyze different MPEG-DASH profiles with different templates. Support for IMF and AS-02 MXF formats is also available, allowing users to ensure the integrity of an IMF file package.

New Audio and Video Baseband Quality Checks – Pulsar now supports the detection of dual mono, flash frame, Harding PSE, and cadence.

DPP/IRT Compliance and Templates – Pulsar now includes DPP (improved) and IRT templates. A number of additional checks at MXF, video, and audio levels have been implemented, providing users with a set of templates to use in day-to-day operations.

Closed Caption Enhancements – A wide range of CC checks including the checks at caption distribution packet (CDP) level are now available, allowing users to check the compliance of their content against FCC regulations.

64-bit Implementation – Pulsar is now a true 64-bit application, further improving its analysis performance.

Loudness Enhancements – Pulsar now includes the presets for OP-59 (Australia) and TR-B32 (Japan) loudness requirements.

"With expanded options and capabilities, Pulsar now makes advanced QC available to every organization, regardless of its content volume or budget," said Fereidoon Khosravi, Senior Vice President, Business Development, Americas at Venera Technologies. "We believe that the product enhancements and new solutions we are showing at the 2015 NAB show will help eliminate financial barriers to the use of QC tools and, in turn, speed the industry's adoption of file-based QC."
