Digimetrics' solutions are used by modern media organizations, including major broadcasters, cable operators, VOD providers, and post-production facilities around the world. Aurora 5 is Digimetrics' new generation file-based QC product which is being launched at this year's NAB Show. It offers unrivalled scalable speed and a comprehensive test parameter portfolio for media files, including distribution constraints, metadata tests, and baseband quality metrics, with a particular focus on reducing false positives generated by alternative automated QC processes. Aurora 5 is perfect for use in high volume and 4K production workflows for ingest, post-production, VOD, tape conversion, and archival operations. FileCatalyst provides users with the ability to send digital content at accelerated data transfer rates, meaning file transfers that previously took hours or days happen in minutes, regardless of size or format. FileCatalyst's UDP-based file transfer technology executes digital media transfers at maximum rates regardless of network impairments such as latency and packet loss. While traditional methods of file transfer are unable to keep up with today's large media files, the FileCatalyst accelerated file transfer protocol offers incredible transfer speeds up to thousands of times faster than FTP.
