Automated and manual
QC to ensure quality
Quality Control (QC) is critical to
ensuring content not only looks good
but is also packaged correctly for any
system tasked with delivering the
content. Automating this process is
a must since certain errors, such as
ABR package analysis, dead pixels,
dropouts, loudness

delivery

IMF, DPP, or other mastering formats
cannot be expeditiously
checked
by humans. The QC process must
also take place wherever the media
