Colombia. The Caracol Channel has implemented the company's Actus Digital transmission monitoring platform for compliance, logging and a wide range of other mission-critical tasks.
By using Actus Digital's monitoring platform, Caracol can ensure superior video and audio quality while meeting industry requirements, including volume regulations, to go beyond the capabilities of traditional systems.
"The streaming industry is evolving at a rapid pace and we need to work faster and more efficiently," said Jorge Pinilla, Caracol's director of transmission. "Actus Digital's monitoring platform gives us extensive functionalities for compliance and beyond, from editing and exporting HD clips to advanced rating analysis. We particularly appreciate the simple and intuitive user interface that allows anyone on our premises, not just our professional video editors, to rotate clips from any workstation."
Using Actus Digital's streaming monitoring platform, Caracol can record and monitor any number of audio and video streams from any input, ensuring compliance with subtitle, teletext, subtitle, audio and volume track requirements. Actus Digital's monitoring system records multi-input video in Full HD, allowing Caracol to quickly export high-resolution clips. The solution also includes Actus Clip Factory, a simple and intuitive workflow for creating, editing and exporting clips to social networks, OTT platforms, the web, FTP or any other destination.
In addition, Caracol is using the Actus Digital platform to optimize audience measurement analysis. Through Actus Digital Rating Analyzer, Caracol receives an interactive graphical presentation of rating data, ensuring accurate recommendations, better program planning, and superior ad placement.
"When Caracol's previous Volicon system reached the end of its useful life, it needed a monitoring platform that would improve the efficiency of its workflow," said Raphael Renous, chief technology officer of Actus Digital. "With Actus Digital's solution, Caracol can now enjoy compliance, recording, monitoring, archiving and clip creation from a single platform, dramatically improving the efficiency of its workflow while reducing costs and gaining long-term reliability."
