SCENE 01 / ONLINE CONFORM QC
Online Conform & QC
Professional finishing and quality control ensuring flawless delivery for broadcast, streaming, and theatrical release.
Online conform and quality control is the tech finishing stage where edited sequences are rebuilt at full resolution. Effects are rendered, and the final master is checked frame by frame for tech errors. QC then tests color accuracy, audio sync, subtitle placement, and whether the file meets delivery specs.
We set up online conform and QC services with rooms tuned to your project's resolution and delivery format. Our team handles media delivery, tech specs, and error reports, so your finished master meets the strict standards your distribution partners demand.

Online Conform and QC for Japanese Broadcast and Streaming
Online conform is where each edit call, VFX shot, colour grade, and audio layback gets rebuilt at full resolution. Each frame is then checked one by one.
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, so VFX shot swaps, title items, and graphics packs blend in with no drift.
QC pairs auto tools with 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 a frame-true timecode, so fixes stay surgical rather than exploratory.
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 with no rejection cycles, plus a full QC report logging each tech setting for your archive.
Conform runs on DaVinci Resolve, which keeps the grade, VFX, and audio in one managed chain. We schedule the finishing block against your picture-lock and delivery dates. Turnaround scales to the deliverable count. A single broadcast master moves fast, while an IMF package with many side tracks needs more bench time. We map the full delivery list early, so each spec is built once and checked once, not chased after a rejection.
We run each finishing job bilingually, with English-language coordination beside our Japanese conform and QC teams. Overseas producers get QC reports and issue notes in plain English, with frame-true timecodes anyone can act on. Quotes come in Japanese yen and state the 10 percent consumption tax up front. Conform assembly, the QC stage, and each delivery master are costed as separate lines. That keeps the finishing budget clear from ingest to final hand-off.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is online conform and why is it important?
Online conform is where we build your final master from high-resolution source media. It folds in every creative call from offline editing, grading, VFX, and audio. The step matters because it makes sure your delivery matches your OK'd offline edit at full resolution and quality.
What QC standards do you check against?
We check against every major broadcast and streaming spec, 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 match.
How do you handle VFX and graphics integration?
We work with standard VFX delivery formats and keep frame-true pull lists for shot swaps. Our conform artists check that each VFX shot matches the timeline position and handles, so it blends into the final master with no drift.
What happens if QC issues are found?
We spot and fix issues before final delivery whenever we can. Our detailed QC reports log any concerns with frame-specific timecodes, which lets fixes stay precise. Our team then works with yours to resolve issues fast and dodge rejection cycles.
