CUSHING, Okla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Doug Carson & Associates, Inc. (DCA) and IRT today announce a partnership designed to integrate IRT’s world-class MXF analysis software engine into DCA’s Aurora automated, file-based stream verifier.

IRT (Institut für Rundfunktechnik), developed their MXF Analyzer based on broadcaster needs in Europe, and the product has become well-known for its reliability in determining issues with MXF containers for audio & video streams.

“MXF containers provide an excellent method for transporting content throughout the broadcast chain, by providing integration for the content and the metadata. However, the compatibility of MXF files has been found suspect by differing implementations, and the need for verification has become essential,” remarks Eric Carson, product manager for Aurora.

DCA customers will benefit from this integration by having the high-quality IRT MXF analysis available in the Aurora automated verifier infrastructure, which is designed for high-volume verification of simultaneous file-based streams in a post-production, broadcast ingestion or authoring environment.
