Cube-Tec International and Tektronix announce technical partnership

Cube-Tec International, the market leader for large-scale media migration technology, and Tektronix, the world leader in test, measurement and monitoring technology, enter into a technology partnership aiming at the integration of the Tektronix Cerify technology into Cube-Tec's range of file-based products.


Cube-Tec International develops integrated solutions for large media archives. As a pioneer in quality control of media workflows, the company focuses on open standards and agile process automation. Cube-Tec benefits from a great deal of experience with large-scale media digitization projects all over the world. Cerify will complement Cube-Tec's portfolio for content verification and media automation service platforms for modern file-based workflows using reference and non-reference based quality assessment methods. The new solutions for moving image mass digitization for broadcast, archiving and Digital Cinema mastering will benefit from this additional QC technology.

The Tektronix Cerify solution allows an automated quality control for file-based content. Quality control of file-based video ingested from different sources, encoded at different bit rates / formats and the utilization of different compression standards for SD/HD, VOD or IPTV delivery present considerable challenges to QC teams. Cerify is a fully automated system for verifying/checking file-based content prior to transmission or use. Solutions range from Windows-based PC standalone workstations to enterprise-wide solutions that interface to 3rd party automation or asset management systems. Cerify provides exception-based technical compliance to enable the QC teams to focus only on the problem content and the subjective requirements.

Cube-Tec solutions have been used in QC workflows for more than 10 years now and Tektronix is the technology market leader in broadcast video test, monitoring and analysis solutions. The integration of Cerify into Cube-Tec's file-based products makes it possible for our clients to access the Cerify QC results and enables them to work a lot more efficiently as they have the possibility to pay full attention to the problem content and its handling.
- Jörg Houpert, Technical Director, Cube-Tec

Transition to file-based media and workflow automation is happening at a rapid pace. Broadcasters and other video service providers are relying on Tektronix solutions to ensure efficient and effective operation of modern broadcasting and media handling facilities.
We are excited to have Cube-Tec join our Cerify Developer Community and look forward to working together to further integrate our Cerify technology into their broad range file-based workflow products.
