Corporate News: Testronic Announces Expansion of File-Based QC Lab
Eindhoven, January 14, 2013 - Catalis SE, the worldwide service provider
for the digital media industry, is pleased to announce that its quality
assurance and compliance division, Testronic, has completed a significant
expansion to its award-winning File-Based QA/QC Lab (the File-Based Lab),
located in the company's First Street facility in Burbank, California.
Building upon the Lab's existing secure infrastructure, the File-Based Lab
has been upgraded to provide UltraViolet(TM) Interoperability Testing
capabilities and related test automation services, including extended
services and environments to support the evolving digital ecosystem from
mastering to consumer distribution.
UltraViolet is the cloud-based home entertainment industry standard that
allows consumers to download and stream movies and TV shows for viewing on
a wide range of devices. The expansion of Testronic's File-Based Lab adds
UltraViolet Interoperability Testing Services, and features independent
test stations supporting both hardware and software-based Common File
Format (CFF) Players connected to a secure NAS, allowing client files to be
quickly tested against a wide-range of CFF Players. DECE Content Providers,
Retailers, DSPs, and CFF Player manufacturer licensees can bring and
transmit CFF content files for testing against available players, and have
their players tested against CFF reference files and representative
UltraViolet content. Testronic engineers are available to assist in
consultation, set up, configuration, and perform interoperability testing,
including end-to-end consumer purchase, download, and playback scenarios.
In addition to supporting UltraViolet, the updated File-Based Lab can
securely receive and test digital content and all downstream deliverables
for Over-the-Top (OTT) services such as iTunes, Netflix and Hulu. To better
support website, web portal and content rights redemption testing,
Testronic has further expanded the online test lab environment, adding 12
additional test stations and has upgraded the Master QC testing suites with
greater functionality and additional technologies.
Albert Koval, Vice President, UltraViolet Services and Software Testing US
for Testronic, said, 'Adding UltraViolet interoperability testing
capabilities for content and CFF playback devices was a natural extension
of the work that began when Phase I of the File-Based Lab was unveiled in
mid-2011. The Lab has been designed from the ground up to serve the needs
of studios, content providers and player manufacturers as the industry
transitions to file-based workflows. Our customers are continually engaged
in a never-ending cycle of change regarding the creation, management and
delivery of content, and we feel that our ability to look ahead of the
horizon and help them be prepared is crucial.'
