ORION

24x7 Confidence Monitoring of Linear/IP Video

Interra Systems' ORION is a real-time content monitoring system that enables service providers to deliver error-free, superior quality video. ORION provides real-time monitoring of IP-based infrastructures that looks at all aspects of video streams such as QoS, QoE, closed captions, ad-insertion verification, reporting and troubleshooting. ORION performs critical monitoring functions on hundreds of services simultaneously from a single platform, providing an operator with a single point of visibility and access to important information such as, status, alerts, alarms, visible impairments, error reports, triggered captures and more. ORION effortlessly monitors streaming content scaling single to multiple monitoring units/ sites across different geographical locations.

ORION is built on industry proven audio/video quality checks to produce actionable alarms.

All data can be viewed real-time or logged into ORION for performance analytics in customized reports for specific regulatory standards such as, FCC closed captioning requirements and CALM/EBU loudness. ORION is ready for future networks with support for 4K HEVC and virtualized monitoring probes today.

With SCTE-35 monitoring and thumbnail capture, ORION provides proof positive for ad and program insertion. Having a record of a problem is also useful to service providers as they look for ways to improve content quality and correct errors.

ORION's easy to use web interface lets users drill down from MPEG-2 TS to video payload errors. The scalable, flexible platform also offers extended APIs facilitating integration with 3rd party data collectors for seamless NOC integration. ORION further aids the deployment with compatibility with off the shelf hardware and complete remote access with REST APIs.
