MBG XS
NEW! - Media Assurance for IP-Edge systems
Introducing MBG XS for IP-Edge stream-based media assurance systems
MBG XS is a new capability sitting inside SAM’s new stream based software
architecture xStream, entirely complementary to xFile systems. When building
media assured systems using media biometrics technology, systems designers can
now also deploy IP-Edge IP stream elements in their workflows. System designers
can not only manage generation points for files and baseband signals they can
also manage generation for SMPTE 2022-6, TR-03 or other stream types supported
by IP-Edge.
