NRK Achieves Greater Efficiency With Interra Systems' BATON File-Based QC Solution

News Image
Interra Systems has announced that Norway's public service broadcaster, NRK, is using BATON — Interra Systems' AI/ML-enabled QC platform for audio and video — for checking finished edited programs and analysing file sets that the company transcodes and publishes.

NRK is a longtime user of BATON, and over the years, it has seen the solution evolve to accommodate customer feedback.

"We have been using BATON successfully for many years. These days, we use BATON internally to check the high-res files of finished edited programs, and we've been using it externally for several years, to analyze the ABR MP4 file sets that we transcode and publish to our origin partner, and further, to our web service," said Kjell Ove Nordlien, Senior Engineer from the Technology Division of the Production Systems Department of NRK. "Our engineering team depends on BATON a great deal for our video quality."

BATON automates QC processes, supporting high standards for quality and compliance. NRK has deployed the most recent version of the solution, which includes framework updates, enhanced video quality checks for 4K files, support for RDD59 specifications, direct analysis of image sequence formats, optimized MXF file verification, advanced diagnostic tools for system health monitoring, and improved API. The technology stack operates on Python 3.x with a Postgres database and the Django web framework, resulting in a more responsive interface, increased scalability, and optimized resource management. It also features enhanced performance for UHD content QC, optimized IMF analysis, support for Sony 360 RA analysis, improved cloud support, advanced video and audio quality checks, comprehensive Dolby Atmos support, and expanded format support.

Interra Systems will display the BATON QC platform, along with its full suite of compliance and content monitoring solutions, at the 2025 NAB Show in Las Vegas, April 6-9, in booth W1921.
