Interra Systems will showcase how its technologies tackle the real operational challenges facing today's streaming and broadcast teams, as live, high-value content drives increasingly complex demands for content quality assurance and monitoring.

ORION Suite – Solving the Visibility Gap in Streaming and Live Operations
As streaming infrastructures grow more complex, real-time visibility into viewer experiences becomes more challenging. Interra Systems' ORION monitoring platform addresses this by delivering continuous, end-to-end insight across linear, IP, and OTT workflows. Recent updates include all-frame deep-dive analysis, support for modern IP formats such as NDI and Zixi, and AI-driven video corruption detection to improve visual quality and reduce troubleshooting time. For live events, ORION enables faster issue detection and response, helping teams operate with greater confidence under pressure.

ORION also helps live production teams do more with fewer resources through a new integrated multiviewer that unifies monitoring data across multiple streams. Enhanced automation – including real-time multiviewing, automated audio language detection, and updated SCTE35 signaling – streamlines advertising workflows and monetization. Additional security and networking enhancements such as IPv6 compatibility, SNMPv3 support, and granular DRM authentication provide a flexible, reliable foundation for live sports, news, and large-scale streaming operations across on-prem, hybrid, and cloud environments.

BATON Automated QC – Maintaining Quality at Scale in a Streaming-First World
As the volume of streaming content continues to grow and the tolerance for quality errors declines, Interra Systems' BATON automated QC platform goes beyond traditional "smart QC" and helps media companies maintain consistent quality and compliance at scale. By reducing reliance on manual review, BATON ties QC directly to operational efficiency, cost control, and brand protection — making it especially critical for premium live content like sports, where fast turnaround times and flawless delivery are essential.

At the 2026 NAB Show, Interra Systems will introduce BATON 9.4, the company's latest version of its BATON platform featuring enhanced audio and video QC that delivers greater accuracy, fewer false alarms, and broader detection for more reliable automation and reduced manual rechecks. Other enhancements include support for Oracle Cloud Interface (OCI) as S3 compatible storage, one-click diagnostics for faster troubleshooting and quicker resolution of operational issues, and more.

BATON Captions – Ensuring Captioning Accuracy and Compliance Across Global Audiences
As accessibility requirements expand worldwide, captioning accuracy and compliance have become business-critical challenges. BATON Captions is designed to help organizations move beyond basic speech-to-text by addressing real-world issues such as timing, placement, multilingual delivery, and regulatory compliance. These challenges are especially pronounced for live and near-live content, including sports, where captions must be both fast and reliable. The latest BATON Captions updates focus on faster workflows, higher transcription accuracy, and simplified compliance. Enhancements include a new web-based editing experience, Whisper AI integration, expanded language support, automated workflows, and advanced tools for localization and broadcast compliance — all designed to reduce operational overhead for streaming and broadcast teams.

VEGA Media Analyzer – Debugging and Compliance in an Evolving Standards Landscape
As media organizations adopt new codecs, HDR formats, and delivery standards, diagnosing stream issues and ensuring interoperability has become more challenging. Interra Systems' VEGA media analyzers help teams validate compliance and troubleshoot complex streaming and hybrid workflows, with recent updates adding AV1, VVC, faster multicore analysis, built-in chatbot assistance, expanded cloud compatibility, and improved tools to boost reliability and reduce validation time.
