OOONA announced the integration of its Convert & QC API into BluConductor, the proprietary platform of Blu Digital Group. BluConductor is an enterprise-grade application which features a versatile project management framework designed for seamless collaboration across an extensive network of users through a singular interface.

With the strategic integration of the OOONA Tools API, BluConductor has notably augmented its functionality, allowing users to seamlessly initiate, edit, conform and undertake an array of subtitle tasks directly within the platform.

The incorporation of OOONA’s Convert and QC API into BluQC, a specialised sub-application within BluConductor, enriches its suite of media automation QC routines with the enablement of automatic scanning of timed text files for critical issues, the generation of comprehensive QC reports, and the bulk conversion of files, markedly streamlining the file validation process.

Such advancements not only guarantee compliance with client specifications but also bolster the scalability and operational efficiency of the entire workflow.

“In the rapidly evolving digital landscape, our BluConductor software customers increasingly seek out cloud-based solutions that not only meet their complex needs but do so within a cohesive, singular system,” says Paulette Pantoja, CEO of Blu Digital Group. “The integration of OOONA’s API is a strategic enhancement that directly caters to this demand, offering our users a significant leap in operational efficiencies and workflow cohesion. Our enduring partnership with OOONA, characterised by deep mutual respect and a shared vision for innovation, has been instrumental in achieving this milestone. We are genuinely impressed with the performance of the OOONA Tools and are enthusiastic about the future possibilities of our continued collaboration, as we strive to deliver unparalleled value and capabilities to our clients.”

The OOONA Convert & QC API automatically converts and scans files for issues in bulk during ingest, post-production and pre-delivery phases, while the quality checks performed on files can be customised using OOONA’s popular automation features.

This can help dramatically reduce the number of files requiring manual QC and cut down file rejections and redeliveries.

“We are thrilled to strengthen our partnership with Blu, who are renown for outstanding products and services in digital media,” says OOONA co-founder and CEO Wayne Garb. “The integration of our API into BluConductor not only exemplifies the trust and synergy between our teams but also showcases our shared dedication to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in media localisation. This partnership allows us to leverage the strengths of both our technologies, enhancing operational efficiencies and delivering superior value to our clients.”
