The latest enhancements to the Orion content monitoring suite, including a multiviewer for real-time visualisation of multiple video and audio streams, will be on show from Interra Systems at IBC2025.
With flexible deployment, broad format support, all-frame decoding, real-time audio language detection, ad insertion monitoring, and advanced analysis, Orion is designed to improve video quality checks and playback assurance for critical channels.
Anupama Anantharaman, Vice President of Product Management, Interra Systems, said: “Our long-standing team of engineers is committed to developing technology that enables our customers to thrive in a fast-changing landscape.”
Recent updates to the company’s Orion Central Manager (OCM) platform include support for IPv6 compatibility, advanced probe management and user group permissions, and support for enhanced end-to-end ad insertion monitoring.
Automated QC product Baton 9.3 introduces enhanced autoscaling, improved 4K video quality checks, and new validations such as blank bar detection and CIE colour gamut analysis.
Baton Captions delivers AI-powered captioning and subtitling, including intelligent caption placement that follows scene change guidelines to prevent overlap with burnt-in text.
In addition, the Vega suite for compliance, debugging, and stream interoperability now offers expanded support for VVC, AV1, HEVC, MV-HEVC, AVS3, HDR, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, ATSC 3.0, and more.
