Encompass Digital Media Powers Global Cloud Transformation for Its Altitude Flow Platform Using Interra Systems’ BATON File-Based QC Solution

Interra Systems is proud to announce its central role in the digital transformation of Encompass Digital Media’s global operations.

CUPERTINO, Calif.(15 Apr 2026)

CUPERTINO, Calif. — April 15, 2026 — Interra Systems, a provider of end-to-end quality assurance solutions for the digital media industry, is proud to announce its central role in the digital transformation of Encompass Digital Media’s global operations.

As media organizations face skyrocketing content volumes and tightening delivery windows, the need for scalable, resilient, and borderless workflows has never been greater. To meet this demand, Encompass Digital Media developed Altitude Flow, a cloud-native media processing platform designed to unify fragmented global operations into a centralized, high-performance model.

By integrating Interra Systems’ BATON, an industry-leading automated file-based QC solution, into the Altitude Flow architecture, Encompass has successfully migrated complex, mission-critical QC processes from traditional on-premises hardware to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Using a phased deployment approach with parallel on-prem and cloud operations allows ongoing services to remain uninterrupted while workflows are progressively transitioned.

"The industry is seeing a pivotal shift where enterprise-scale workflows are no longer constrained by geographic boundaries," said Mark Samoulian, global vice president, media systems engineering at Encompass Digital Media. "By migrating BATON into our Altitude Flow platform, we have demonstrated that complex, mission-critical QC processes can be transitioned to the cloud without a 'rip and replace' approach. This strategic migration ensures our workflows remain flexible and scalable to stay ahead of evolving industry demands."

"We are thrilled to partner with Encompass on this industry-shaping project," said Ashish Basu, executive vice president of global sales and business development at Interra Systems. "Altitude Flow provides a practical and replicable blueprint for media companies seeking to transition from fixed, on-prem workflows to flexible, cloud-enabled operations. The successful migration of BATON proves that well-established workflow logic can be preserved while gaining the massive efficiency and cost benefits of the cloud."

The integration of BATON within Altitude Flow has delivered significant operational advantages:

  • Dynamic Scalability: Encompass can now dynamically scale QC capacity to handle high-volume and time-sensitive VOD workloads.
  • Centralized Intelligence: Automated QC functions provide essential input to the control layer, where results directly influence downstream workflow decisions.
  • Operational Excellence: Early outcomes include increased throughput, reduced turnaround times, and a decreased reliance on manual human interaction.
  • Global Consistency: Standardized validation processes ensure content quality is maintained across all geographic regions and delivery pipelines.

At the 2026 NAB Show (booth # W2243), April 19-22, in Las Vegas, Interra Systems will showcase the latest version of its BATON platform, along with its entire suite of QC, monitoring, and analyzing solutions — including ORION for real-time monitoring and VEGA Media Analyzer for deep technical analysis and debugging. Live demos can be scheduled here: www.interrasystems.com/mailer/nab-2026/index.html.
