Online conform and QC for Italian post deliverables
Here is how this works in practice. Online conform is the technical assembly stage where an Italian production's offline edit is rebuilt from full-resolution camera negatives, every effect is rendered at master quality, and the timeline is inspected frame-by-frame against the TV networks or sites spec sheet. Our online team works at Cinecittà DI, Lumiq Studios, EM srl Roma, FrameByFrame, and Edi Effetti Digitali Italiani depending on the workflow's resolution, colour-management needs, and turnaround window.
Here is the short of it. We ingest the offline XML or AAF alongside the first camera media — ARRIRAW from a Cinque Terre shoot, RED R3D from a Roman commercial, ProRes from a multi-camera Rai entertainment block — match-back to the first sources, and rebuild the timeline at delivery resolution while preserving every edit decision the cutting room signed off on.
Here is the breakdown. QC runs against the published specs of every target: Rai Cinema, Mediaset, Sky Italia, La7, Netflix Italy, Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+, plus global TV networks when content is cross-licensed. Automated Tektronix, Interra Baton, and Venera Pulsar checks verify video levels, EBU R128 loudness, ITU-R BT.2020 gamut conformance, AS-11 / Italian DPP compliance, safe-area integrity, and metadata completeness, while a senior operator runs the full master back-to-back against the approved offline. Detailed compliance reports ship with every package, frame-specific timecodes flag any concerns for fast remediation, and the corrected master is re-verified before delivery so the production passes broadcast technical acceptance on the first submission rather than cycling through expensive rejection notes.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is online conform and why is it important?
Online conform is the process of assembling your final master from high-resolution source media, incorporating all creative decisions from offline editing, color grading, VFX, and audio. It's critical because it ensures your delivery matches your approved offline edit with full resolution and quality.
What QC standards do you check against?
We verify against all major broadcast and streaming platform specifications including Netflix, Amazon, Apple TV+, BBC, EBU, and SMPTE standards. Our QC process covers video levels, audio loudness (R128, OP-59), sync, artifacts, and format compliance.
How do you handle VFX and graphics integration?
We work with standardized VFX delivery formats and maintain frame-accurate pull lists for shot replacement. Our conform artists verify each VFX shot matches the timeline position and handles, ensuring seamless integration with the final master.
What happens if QC issues are found?
We identify and address issues before final delivery whenever possible. Our detailed QC reports document any concerns with frame-specific timecodes, allowing for precise fixes. We work with your team to resolve issues efficiently and avoid rejection cycles.
