Overview

The ultimate safety net.

Rejection from Netflix, Amazon or a major broadcaster is expensive — re-delivery fees, missed slots, and weeks of delay. Our Quality Control workflow is your firewall: every master is scanned for technical and creative anomalies before it leaves your hands.

We use a hybrid approach. Automated software scans flag macro-blocking, gamut excursions, dropouts and dead pixels. Then a trained engineer watches the entire file in real time on calibrated reference monitors in a controlled viewing environment.
