Interra Systems at 2018 NAB Show New York

Driven by file-based workflows, OTT service delivery has become ubiquitous. By the end of 2018, OTT video services will reach a global subscriber base of 400 million, according to ABI Research. As service providers look to capitalize on the opportunities up for play, one thing is clear: quality is critical in the video streaming environment. Service providers need a solid strategy for attaining comprehensive video insights and delivering high-quality OTT offerings.

At NAB Show New York 2018, Interra Systems will demonstrate its industry-proven expertise in file-based workflows, showing how OTT service providers can deliver exceptional audio-video quality on every device. Beyond offering unified QC and monitoring solutions, Interra Systems plays a larger role in the digital media solutions space through innovations in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine-learning (ML) techniques, which will also be highlighted at the show.

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Capabilities Added to BATON® QC Platform With New Add-On for BATON®: WINNOW™
