DENVER, CO — (Marketwired) — 09/24/14 — THIS TECHNOLOGY, a leading provider of dynamic ad insertion and alternate content software, today announced Congruity Intelligent Signal Processor (iSP) for efficient management of SCTE-35 cues across all delivery platforms. The latest addition to THIS TECHNOLOGY–s portfolio is cloud-based software that normalizes the wide variances of SCTE-35 messages MVPDs receive from programmers.
The SCTE-35 standard was developed to support the splicing of transport streams for the purpose of insertion, including advertising and other content types. However, the variances in usage of SCTE-35 messages has exceeded the standard. This is largely due to usage for advertising, regionalization and measurement across both adaptive bit rate and digital TV, for video on demand, cloud-based DVR and linear viewing. Every programmer uses SCTE-35 differently, requiring MVPDs to standardize the messages for their internal infrastructure.
“As programmers enable the next generation of television, consistent practice for SCTE-35 formatting is lacking, which challenges MVPDs who have to adjust for this disparity,” said Denise MacDonell, vice president of product management and marketing for THIS TECHNOLOGY. “THIS TECHNOLOGY–S unparalleled deployment experience affords us the opportunity to envision and engineer products like Congruity, ultimately ensuring our customers efficiently solve for inconsistent approaches to content ingest.”
As with all THIS TECHNOLOGY products, Congruity delivers and supports unprecedented scale. The software enables a consistent way to normalize all incoming SCTE-35 messages as video enters the MVPD distribution infrastructure. Congruity provides a significant advantage to MVPDs when they are managing large numbers of network source feeds, each of which contain SCTE-35 signals that must be processed.
Key features of Congruity include:
Supports linear signal processing and management, enables user-defined transforms to be applied to all source feeds from individual programmers, includes support for ESAM I03 and SCTE-35 2013a and provides transformation adaptation functionality.
. Includes a web-based user interface that gives full control and customization of the system, including network and source feed configuration management, and transform management.
. Contains an auditable database that supports Congruity and corresponding modules, and includes a centralized data store that enables flexible management of all functions.
