Online Conform & QC
Professional finishing and quality control ensuring flawless delivery for broadcast, streaming, and theatrical release.
Online conform and quality control is the technical finishing process where edited sequences are rebuilt at full resolution, effects are rendered, and the final master is inspected frame-by-frame for technical errors. QC checks verify color accuracy, audio sync, subtitle placement, and compliance with delivery specifications.
We coordinate online conform and QC services with facilities equipped for your project's resolution and delivery format requirements. Our team manages media delivery, technical specifications, and error reporting to ensure your finished master meets the exacting standards of your distribution partners.

Online conform and QC for Mexican IFT broadcast, Netflix LatAm, and DCI theatrical — automated and manual passes
Here is how this works in practice. We set up online conform and quality-control at Mexico City finishing houses where edit-to-finish handoff runs through DaVinci Resolve Studio with full uncompressed source media — Lemon Studios for top theatrical and streaming-tier work, Cinema Maquina and Labodigital for mid-tier projects, Estudios Churubusco for body-level and broadcast. Conform sessions reconnect edit cuts to camera-first ARRIRAW, REDCODE RAW, or X-OCN sources via AAF / EDL / XML handoff from Avid Media Composer, Premiere Pro, or Final Cut Pro X, then walk through every edit point at native resolution before grade.
On the ground, QC passes run automated checks via Venera Pulsar, Tektronix Aurora, or Telestream Vidchecker against target loudness (Netflix -27 LKFS, EBU R128 broadcast, ATSC A/85), gamut compliance (Rec.709, DCI-P3, Rec.2020 PQ), and sites-specific spec sheets, followed by full manual eyes-on-glass review by senior QC operators.
Here is the short of it. Mexican online and QC pipelines feed every major distribution path. Broadcast deliveries to Televisa San Ángel, TV Azteca Ajusco, Imagen TV, Multimedios, Foro TV, Canal Once, and Canal 22 need Mexican IFT broadcast compliance, AS-11 file wrapping, and ATSC 3.0 / ISDB-T digital broadcast spec. Streaming-sites conform for Netflix LatAm, Vix (TelevisaUnivision Latin SVOD HQ'd in CDMX), Star+, Claro Video (América Móvil — Carlos Slim), Apple TV+ LatAm, Disney+ LatAm, and Amazon Prime Video LatAm follows each sites's IMF (Interoperable Master Format) need with full CPL assembly and supplemental package support.
On the ground, Theatrical conform for Cinépolis (world's #4 cinema chain, Mexican-owned), Cinemex, and the Festival Internacional de Cine de Morelia / FICG Guadalajara / Los Cabos festival circuit delivers DCP packages compatible with Doremi, Qube, and Sony DCP servers. Final masters archive to LTO-9 tape at IFAI / INAI-compliant storage facilities, with Cineteca Nacional partnership ready for Mexican-heritage projects.
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.
