At IBC 2026, Interra Systems will present this year’s focus: operational AI at scale for QC, monitoring, and captioning workflows. The industry has moved past pilots and proofs of concept. Interra Systems’ current priorities include QC systems that calibrate themselves, monitoring that surfaces plain-language incident explanations in place of raw alert volume, and captioning workflows that bring new languages to market in weeks. Live sports sets the industry’s most demanding quality benchmarks, and fast, actionable incident response has become a growing priority across the sector.

At booth #7.C11, visitors will see how Interra Systems’ automated QC, real-time monitoring, captioning, and media analysis solutions are helping broadcasters, streamers, and content owners protect viewer experience across live sports, news, and premium on-demand content, with fewer manual touches and faster resolution when issues arise.

“AI is quickly moving beyond isolated tasks and into the orchestration of complete media workflows — from QC and monitoring to captioning, localization, ad signaling, compliance, and real-time delivery assurance. At Interra Systems, our AI strategy is focused on practical, explainable intelligence that helps customers improve accuracy, scale operations, and manage emerging quality risks,” said Anupama Anantharaman, vice president of product management at Interra Systems.

“For broadcasters and streaming providers, the opportunity is not simply to automate more, but to automate with accuracy, transparency, and trust. At IBC 2026, we will showcase real-world examples of how our solutions are helping leading media organizations worldwide manage live, FAST, IP, OTT, and hybrid workflows with greater confidence, protecting quality, compliance, and viewer experience as operations become more intelligent, scalable, and complex.”

Across its portfolio, Interra Systems will demonstrate how ORION, BATON, BATON Captions, and VEGA meet the operational realities of modern delivery: live sports at massive scale, tightening compliance obligations, and the constant pressure to do more with the same team. Each product now applies AI where it delivers measurable value — faster diagnostics, deeper content validation, and workflows that require fewer hands.

The math facing every media organization is consistent: more channels, more formats, more languages, and no matching growth in headcount. Interra Systems closes that gap at the media intelligence layer that reviews every file and every frame, catches issues before viewers do, and lets premium experiences scale independently of the operation behind them.

Interra Systems will highlight how its technologies help media teams simplify complex streaming and broadcast operations, delivering the quality assurance, monitoring, and intelligence needed to support today’s live, premium, and high-volume content workflows.

ORION Suite — Solving the Visibility Gap in Streaming and Live Operations

As streaming environments become more distributed, maintaining clear visibility into the viewer experience grows more difficult. Interra Systems’ ORION monitoring platform gives media teams continuous, end-to-end visibility across linear, IP, and OTT delivery chains, helping them identify issues before service quality is affected — with this release extending that visibility deeper into 4K, IP, and production workflows. 

ORION also streamlines live production with an integrated multiviewer, and enterprise-grade upgrades to ORION Central Manager strengthen the operational backbone behind it, providing a secure, scalable foundation for live sports, news, and streaming across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud environments.

Key technical highlights on display include:

ORION & ORION-OTT — Linear & OTT Monitoring

– Next-Gen IP & 4K Ecosystems: Expanded monitoring for modern workflows with support for NDI, Zixi, and JPEG-XS (ST2110-22), alongside 4K over SDI and ST2110 infrastructure. 

– Granular 4K Analysis: Real-time all-frame deep-dive analysis for 4K@60fps channels catches subtle visual errors that standard sample-based monitoring misses. 

– AI-Powered Quality & Scoring: Upgraded AI/ML frame corruption checks improve dropout detection accuracy, while integration with VEGA Media Analyzer introduces reference-based video quality scoring (VMAF/PSNR/SSIM). 

– Enhanced Multiviewing & Fast Review: Simultaneous stream visualization via real-time multiviewing with BATON Media Player integration to instantly play back and debug error-triggered or ad recording segments. 

– Ad Insertion & Delivery Compliance: Adherence to the latest SCTE-35 (2023) specs and new DASH manifest template validations support accurate ad monetization and OTT delivery. 

 ORION Central Manager (OCM)

– End-to-End Ad Tracking: Advanced consistency reporting across the entire distribution workflow to fully safeguard ad revenue. 

– Smart Incident Management: Integration with PagerDuty routes critical alerts instantly, while temporary alert suppression controls eliminate operator fatigue during known maintenance windows. 

– Simplified Remote Operations: Enhanced probe access via OCM secures remote probe connectivity even when direct client access is blocked.
