SCENE 01 / FORMAT CONVERSION ENCODING
Format Conversion & Encoding
Professional transcoding solutions optimizing your content for any platform, workflow, or delivery requirement.
Here is how this works in practice. Format conversion and encoding transforms finished shoots between different video formats, codecs, resolutions, and frame rates to meet the needs of many distribution platforms. Pro encoding makes sure optimal quality at target bitrates while keeping color accuracy, audio sync, and metadata integrity across formats.
Here is the short of it. We give format conversion and encoding services through facilities equipped with pro transcoding systems. Our team manages the tech specs for each target platform, making sure your content is encoded to optimal quality standards and delivered in each format your distribution strategy needs.

Format conversion and encoding for IMF, AS-11, ProRes, H.264/265 across Mexican broadcast and global streaming
Here is how this works in practice. We set up format conversion and encoding through Mexico City transcode farms running Telestream Vantage, AmberFin iCR, AWS Elemental MediaConvert (deployed in the AWS Mexico Querétaro Region), and FFmpeg-based custom pipelines at Lemon Studios, Cinema Maquina, Labodigital, and Estudios Churubusco. Standard outputs cover the full range: Apple ProRes (422, 422 HQ, 4444, 4444 XQ) for edit and mezzanine, Avid DNxHR / DNxHD for Media Composer workflows, IMF (Interoperable Master Format) for streaming-sites delivery with full CPL assembly, AS-11 DPP-style for UK broadcast, AS-11 X1/X4 for US broadcast, MXF OP1a for Mexican IFT-compliant broadcast pickup, H.264 / H.265 / HEVC for streaming distribution, and AV1 for Vix and Netflix LatAm bandwidth-tuning tiers. HDR encoding supports HDR10, HDR10+ (Amazon), Dolby Vision (Netflix LatAm, Apple TV+ LatAm), and HLG (broadcast HDR for Televisa next-gen rollout).
Here is what we have to work with. Mexican format-conversion priorities reflect distribution range. Broadcast pickup for Televisa San Ángel, TV Azteca Ajusco, Imagen TV, Multimedios, Foro TV, Canal Once, Canal 22, and Canal 11 uses AS-11 with 1080i/29.97 video and 24-bit/48 kHz BWF audio at EBU R128. Streaming delivery for Vix (TelevisaUnivision Latin SVOD), Star+, Claro Video, Cinépolis Klic, Blim TV. Plus global Netflix LatAm, Disney+ LatAm, Apple TV+ LatAm, and Amazon Prime Video LatAm follows each sites's IMF spec or H.265 mezzanine sheet.
Here is the layout. On the ground, cinema-circuit delivery for Cinépolis (world's #4, Mexican-owned), Cinemex, and Cinemark Mexico runs as DCP JPEG2000 packages. ATSC 3.0 NextGen TV rollout in The country introduces extra codec encoding needs for terrestrial digital broadcast (HEVC video, Dolby AC-4 audio). All transcode jobs have automated checksum verification and sites-target QC passes via Telestream Vidchecker before handoff. With archive copies LTO-9'd at IFAI / INAI-compliant storage.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What formats can you convert between?
We support conversion between virtually any video format including ProRes, DNxHD, XDCAM, H.264, H.265/HEVC, VP9, AV1, and more. We also handle container formats like MXF, MOV, MP4, and MKV. Whatever your source and destination formats, we can help.
How do you maintain quality during conversion?
Here is the breakdown. We use pro-grade encoding systems with careful attention to bitrate, codec settings, and color management. Our team selects optimal encoding parameters for each project. We perform quality comparisons to make sure the conversion meets our standards before delivery.
Can you handle large-scale batch conversions?
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Yes, our encoding infrastructure is designed for scalability. We often process entire libraries for clients, using automated workflows that keep consistency while leveraging parallel processing for fast turnaround. We can handle projects from single files to thousands of hours.
Do you support HDR to SDR conversion?
Here is how the picture comes together. We give pro tone mapping services to convert HDR content (HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HLG) to SDR while preserving the creative intent. Our colorists can supervise the conversion to make sure the SDR version looks its best across all display types.
