Claiming to have improved ‘dramatically’ productivity and efficiency for broadcast, quality control, and post-production workflows, Interra Systems has launched the BMP media player.

The provider of media QC, monitoring and analysis solutions says that its feature-rich player has support for the widest range of formats and can offer easy integration with broadcast workflows at any stage. Built for what Interra describes as ‘heavy-duty’ applications, BMP offers a range of functionality in a single tool, enabling media professionals to play, inspect, and verify audio/video from various content locations, while collaborating across multiple teams and projects.

BMP is attributed with bringing greater efficiency to the process of content readiness throughout the various workflow stages, from ingest to distribution. BMP is said to ensure that content looks and plays exactly the way it was intended. Supporting SDI playout and a range of audio, video, elementary, and container formats, along with extensive support for closed captions and subtitle formats, makes BMP offer video professionals one of the most comprehensive media players on the market says Interra.

The player is also said to feature frame-accurate playback of high-quality video, playlist capabilities, mark-in mark-out to mark specific sections, audio waveform, loudness, and audio-level meters. It also contains tools to monitor colour intensity and range during playback to ensure image quality. BMP is offered both as a standalone media player and as an integrated part of Interra’s Baton file-based QC solution.

“Video production and distribution workflows today are quite sophisticated and having powerful tools to review and rectify quality issues is more important than ever before,” commented Interra Systems vice president, product marketing Anupama Anantharaman. “We believe BMP will ultimately enable better viewing experiences for consumers.”
