DMC Deploys Interra Solution To Improve QC Operations

Egyptian media company DMC has deployed Interra Systems' BATON® file-based QC solution to improve its QC operations.

The solution brings increased scalability, flexibility, and consistency to the company's operations. It also provides ultra-precise, automated video, audio, and closed caption checks to improve DMC's content quality.

"When content quality problems exist, viewers are left dissatisfied, which in turn can hurt our revenue opportunities," said Ahmed Mostafa, channel technical director at DMC. "We like how flexible the BATON platform is, in terms of communicating seamlessly with our media asset management system and allowing us to switch between automated and manual QC modes. Ultimately, BATON streamlines the delivery of superior quality content, keeping viewers watching longer."

BATON allows DMC to conduct detailed checks, including standards compliance, regulatory, MXF level, SDI playout, and baseband. DMC is using the BATON Media Player, an optional media player with SDI playout capability, for fast, frame-accurate manual review of content.

BATON's scalable architecture will enable DMC to expand QC operations as its needs grow and provide high availability at all times, even if a hardware component breaks down. The BATON platform has been seamlessly integrated with DMC's media asset management (MAM) system for increased operational efficiency.

"Over the years, DMC has been focused on creating a world-class infrastructure in order to maintain its position as a regional leader in media and television," said Kanishka Tongya, sales director for APAC and MEA at Interra Systems. "All of DMC's file-based assets pass through the BATON system before being delivered to viewers. By installing BATON, the industry's most reliable and flexible file-based QC solution, DMC dramatically improves quality of experience for viewers."

Interra Systems will demonstrate its solutions for comprehensive video
