Encompass Digital Media Enhances Altitude Flow Platform with Interra Systems QC
▼ Summary
– Interra Systems’ BATON quality control solution has been integrated into Encompass Digital Media’s cloud-native Altitude Flow platform.
– This integration migrated Encompass’s critical quality control processes from on-premises hardware to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
– The migration used a phased approach, allowing operations to continue uninterrupted during the transition.
– The new system provides dynamic scalability for high-volume workloads and ensures consistent quality across global regions.
– Early results include increased processing throughput and reduced manual intervention and turnaround times.
The global media industry is undergoing a fundamental shift, driven by soaring content volumes and compressed delivery schedules. To address these pressures, Encompass Digital Media has enhanced its cloud-native Altitude Flow platform by integrating Interra Systems’ BATON file-based QC solution. This strategic partnership enables a seamless migration of complex quality control operations from traditional on-premises hardware to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), establishing a scalable and geographically flexible workflow model.
A phased deployment strategy allowed Encompass to transition its mission-critical processes without disrupting ongoing services. This approach demonstrates that enterprise-scale media operations can move to the cloud without a disruptive overhaul of existing systems. Mark Samoulian, global vice president of media systems engineering at Encompass, highlighted the strategic importance of this move. He stated that migrating BATON into Altitude Flow proves complex QC processes can transition to the cloud without a ‘rip and replace’ approach, ensuring workflows remain both flexible and scalable to meet future demands.
Ashish Basu, executive vice president of global sales and business development at Interra Systems, emphasized the project’s broader significance. He noted that Altitude Flow provides a practical and replicable blueprint for media companies seeking to evolve from fixed, on-premises workflows to agile, cloud-enabled operations. The integration preserves established workflow logic while unlocking the efficiency and cost benefits of cloud infrastructure.
The deployment has delivered several key operational advantages. Dynamic scalability allows Encompass to adjust QC capacity instantly to manage high-volume video-on-demand workloads. Centralized intelligence is achieved as automated QC functions feed essential data into the platform’s control layer, directly influencing downstream workflow decisions. Early results point to operational excellence, with increased throughput, reduced turnaround times, and less reliance on manual intervention. Furthermore, global consistency is maintained through standardized validation processes that ensure uniform content quality across all regions and delivery pipelines.
Interra Systems will feature the latest version of its BATON platform at the 2026 NAB Show in Las Vegas, alongside its full suite of quality control, monitoring, and analysis solutions.
