Online Conform & QC
Professional finishing and quality control ensuring flawless delivery for broadcast, streaming, and theatrical release.
Here is how this works in practice. Online conform and quality control is the tech finishing process where edited sequences are rebuilt at full resolution, effects are rendered, and the final master is inspected frame-by-frame for tech errors. QC checks check color accuracy, audio sync, subtitle placement, and compliance with delivery specs.
Here is the short of it. We set up online conform and QC services with facilities equipped for your project's resolution and delivery format needs. Our team manages media delivery, tech specs, and error reporting to make sure your finished master meets the exacting standards of your distribution partners.

Online Conform and QC for Japanese Broadcast and Streaming
Online conform is where each edit call, each VFX shot, each colour grade, and each audio layback gets rebuilt at full resolution. Each frame gets checked one by one.
Here is how this works in practice. Our finishing rooms in Tokyo and Osaka run colour-managed chains for 2K, UHD, and 8K delivery. Targets cover NHK 4K/8K broadcast spec, Netflix Japan IMF, Amazon, Apple TV+, BBC, EBU, and SMPTE standards. Overflow runs through Imagica, Sony PCL, NEP, and Q-Tec when feature scale or platform-set sign-off calls for it. Conform artists build timelines from high-res masters with frame-true pull lists. VFX shot swaps, title items, and graphics packs blend in with no drift.
Here is the short of it. QC runs auto tools alongside human review. Checks cover video levels, audio loudness against R128 and OP-59, sync, artifact spotting, captioning placement, and format match. Each issue is logged with frame-true timecode so fixes are surgical, not exploratory.
Here is the breakdown. When concerns come up, we fix them inside our chain rather than pass them on. That is why our masters often pass first-time platform QC across DCI-P3 cinema and Rec.709 broadcast targets. You get a finished master that distributors accept without rejection cycles, plus a full QC report logging each tech setting for your archive.
