With its extensive feature set, proven performance and reliability, Pulsar is now an integral part of many important broadcast operations worldwide. The following new Pulsar capabilities will be on display at IBC 2012.

• Super fast performance. Pulsar has always been the top performing solution. With its latest performance enhancements, Pulsar now sets new records in analysis speed. Pulsar can now process an HD file at unmatched speed of 4x real-time. A typical HD movie can now be processed in less than half an hour and four such movies can be handled simultaneously with single Pulsar license.

• Rapid. Rapid is an innovative rule-based Quick QC & Sorting solution and is now part of the workflow at many important facilities worldwide.

Organizations can now achieve unmatched workflow efficiency by using Rapid at right places in their workflow.

• Auto Audio Language Verification. First in the QC industry, Pulsar now independently identifies the audio language using audio essence.

Pulsar can now be used to automatically ensure the presence of the right language in the right audio track

• Adaptive Streaming QC. Pulsar will showcase support for HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) and Microsoft Smooth Streaming formats.
