Getting Started - Creating a QC Project

Telestream Cloud automated Quality Control removes the need of labor intensive tasks that involve manually checking conformance by eye and hand.

All quality checks are run within a Project which contains single template used to test compliance agains defined set of parameters required by industry standards for content delivery.

As of now list of available templates includes:

  • ARD ZDF (XDCAm and AVC-Intra)
  • AS 11 UK DPP 4.3 (AVC-Intra)
  • AS 11 UK DPP 5.0 (AVC-Intra and IMX)
  • AS 10
  • Netflix HD
  • iTunes HD TV Pro Res
  • Amazon ProRes
  • LipSync

All templates (except LipSync) have option to additionally perform PSE check to analyze video content for flashing and stationary patterns which may cause photosensitive epilepsy triggered by visual stimuli present in TV programs and ads. Television content in UK and Japan has to pass the PSE test to be allowed for broadcasting.

Setting up a Project is pretty straightforward process and boils down to naming it, selecting report type and template for media file to be tested against.
