Introduction to Venera Pulsar Pay-Per-Use file based QC

 


Introduction

Venera Technologies. Introduction to Pulse, our paper use. The objective of this short video is to introduce you to Pulse, our paper use or PPU, and its benefits. First, let me give you a quick introduction to Pulsar itself. Pulsar is an award-winning file-based QC software that is used by broadcasters, IPTV or cable operators, OTT operators, post-production houses, and generally anyone who is dealing with digital media. It also has a rich collection of features for verifying your audio and video content.

Here are a few of the many QC checks Pulsar can perform: Detect digital hits Find blockiness, Combing artifacts, Field ordered reversal, Freeze frames, Detect loudness violation based on EBU or CALM Act specifications, Spot audio drops as well as audio clipping or unwanted mute or silent tones, Our Pulse PPU software is used by many large and small media companies worldwide

Now that you have some background about Pulsar, let’s talk about Pulsar PPU. Pulsar PPU use is a unique and innovative variation to our award-winning Pulsar software, which allows you to pay as you go. Pulsar PPU is installed locally within your facility, so all the analysis is done in-house while only the accounting is done in the cloud.

Pulsar PPU includes a series of pre-made QC templates for QC of content based on specifications from Netflix, iTunes, DPP, and many others. And of course, you can create your own templates too.

To use Pulsar PPU, you put money in your account either by buying a voucher from us or your local reseller or using your credit card. Then you choose from our two usage plans: either paying per hour of content that you QC or a monthly flat fee for unlimited QC.

We have made using Pulsar incredibly easy. First, you choose the file you want to QC. Second, you choose a template from the list of available templates. Third, you submit the job. And fourth, review the resulting QC report. That’s it!

Pulsar PPU architecture is pretty straightforward. As I said earlier, Pulsar PPU is installed locally within your facility, so all the QC analysis is done in-house while only the accounting is under the cloud. With the software being installed locally, you will not have any issues with security or transferring large files to the cloud. It is an ideal solution for smaller facilities with in-house content or larger facilities that need additional QC analysis capacity.
