S4M’s Media Solutions Manager Franziska Mauermann accepts the Cerify Developer Community Award at IBC 2007.

At IBC 2007 German systems and consulting company S4M – Solutions for Media has received the Cerify Developer Community Award. With it Tektronix appreciates S4M’s successful integration of its VPMS software into the Tektronix Cerify System providing technical quality control for digital video.

VPMS stands for Video Production Management System. It supports the management of digital video assets and is, amongst others, deployed by Tagesschau, the most popular and longest running news program in German TV.
For the new playout center of the European TV network SBS (Scandinavian Broadcasting System) in London, S4M integrated Tektronix’ quality control system Cerify by means of a webservice interface. VPMS automatically activates quality control by Cerify for every video within the system. The test result is shown via VPMS. In addition, VPMS offers a link to the detailed error report: Thus, users get exact information via their webbrowser as to the errors detected by Tektronix’ Cerify.

The award ceremony at IBC 2007 was at the same time the official kickoff for
the Cerify Developer Community – a group of companies that are working together to provide file-based quality control for content stored on servers.
