Interra Systems Upgrades ORION

Interra Systems has announced a major upgrade to its flagship real-time monitoring platform, ORION.

The latest update introduces stream recording capabilities and seamless integration with BATON Media Player (BMP), delivering a powerful toolset for broadcast engineering and operations teams. Together, these enhancements enable detailed, frame-by-frame analysis and troubleshooting of monitored streams with exceptional accuracy and efficiency.

"Our goal with the ORION–BMP integration was to make it easier for customers to move from detection to diagnosis within a single, streamlined workflow," said Anupama Anantharaman, vice president of product management at Interra Systems. "By connecting real-time monitoring with frame-level playback and inspection, we're helping operations teams pinpoint issues faster and resolve them with precision. This enhancement reflects our ongoing commitment to simplifying quality assurance workflows while enabling customers to deliver flawless content across every platform."

The newly introduced recording feature in ORION allows users to capture segments of monitored streams, particularly around error events. Each recording includes a buffer of 5–6 seconds before the error occurs and continues until the issue is resolved or for a user-defined duration. Recordings can also be triggered manually, scheduled, or initiated during ad transitions, offering flexible options for capturing critical stream data.

The integration of Interra Systems' ORION with BMP empowers media professionals to troubleshoot video delivery issues faster and more effectively. With this integration, users can seamlessly move from real-time monitoring in ORION to frame-accurate playback and deep inspection in BMP, enabling quick root-cause analysis of errors and quality anomalies. The combined workflow accelerates issue identification, reduces manual effort, and ensures that content meets compliance and quality standards before distribution.

By bridging monitoring and detailed analysis, the ORION–BMP integration delivers significant operational efficiency and confidence in delivering superior video experiences. From within the ORION interface, users can launch BMP with a single click to analyse recorded streams in detail. Errors detected during the recording window are automatically displayed in BMP, allowing users to jump directly to the relevant timestamps and perform frame-by-frame analysis. This streamlined approach eliminates the need for manual exports and external tools, significantly reducing the time and effort required to identify and resolve issues.

ORION-OTT, Interra's monitoring solution for OTT workflows, already includes BMP integration for debugging VOD assets. Recording support for Live streams in ORION-OTT is planned for a future release.
