Category QC QA Monitoring
Interra Systems’ ORION with Multiviewer transforms how media companies monitor and ensure video quality across broadcast, IPTV, OTT, and postproduction environments. Designed for video engineers and operators, this software-based platform combines automated quality control and assurance with real-time visualization — delivering a unified, scalable, and flexible monitoring experience.
What sets ORION apart is its seamless integration of multiviewer functionality into a comprehensive monitoring suite. Unlike traditional multiviewers that rely on proprietary hardware and offer limited scalability, ORION’s multiviewer runs on commercial off-the-shelf hardware and supports deployment on-premises, in virtual machines, containers, or in the cloud. This flexibility reduces cost and complexity while enabling dynamic scaling and layout customization.
Operators can view multiple video and audio streams on a single screen with rich overlays, allowing instant error detection and efficient workflow management. The browser-based interface supports remote access, empowering teams to monitor live feeds from anywhere — a critical capability in today’s decentralized media operations.
ORION supports all major input formats, including MPEG-2 TSoIP, SDI, SMPTE ST 2110, ASI, SRT/RIST/Zixi, NDI, HLS, MPEG-DASH, HDS, and HSS. It handles up to 500 services on a single server and enables creation of multiple multiviewer screens with customizable layouts — ideal for large-scale streaming and complex broadcast environments.
Beyond visualization, ORION delivers deep monitoring analytics. It performs QoS and QoE checks, computes mean opinion scores, and traces service quality across the workflow, from pre-transcode to the edge. Integrated with ORION Central Manager, it aggregates data from multiple monitoring points, enabling fault isolation and root-cause analysis with precision.
In addition, ORION supports dynamic ad insertion workflows, localization-ready configurations, and simultaneous monitoring of IP, SDI, contribution, and SMPTE ST 2110 streams — all within a single product. It monitors at multiple workflow points, from pre-transcode to edge delivery. These capabilities, combined with fault isolation and centralized analytics via ORION Central Manager, eliminate the need for separate tools and vendors, simplifying operations and accelerating issue resolution.
Already deployed by leading broadcasters and streaming providers, ORION helps media companies streamline operations and reduce costs. Customers have used the platform to monitor hundreds of services on a single server, replacing multiple legacy systems with a unified, software-based solution. Its browser-based multiviewer enables remote teams to maintain broadcast integrity during live events, while integration with ORION Central Manager allows operators to trace service degradations across the workflow with pinpoint accuracy. These real-world applications show how ORION is actively transforming QC/QA monitoring.
In a market where quality directly impacts viewer satisfaction and revenue, ORION with Multiviewer stands out as a transformative solution. It breaks down silos between monitoring and visualization, supports remote workflows, and delivers the performance, flexibility, and intelligence needed to meet the demands of modern media delivery.
