Delivery masters
Apple ProRes, Avid DNxHR, XDCAM, H.264, H.265, AV1 and other delivery formats in HD, 2K or 4K. We prepare the picture, sound and file structure around your broadcaster or distributor’s specifications.
Distribution mastering
Your film.
Ready for distribution.
Delivery specifications can be hard to navigate. We help you understand what’s required and prepare the right files, from one deliverable to a complete set of masters. Our specialists handle the technical details so you can move your film forward.
From the specification
to the finished delivery.
Review.
Share your distributor’s delivery specifications and tell us which assets you already have. We read the documents and help you understand what needs to be delivered.
Quote.
We outline the files, conversions, corrections and checks your project needs, then quote the work before mastering begins.
Deliver.
Our specialists carry out the agreed mastering, corrections and QC in house, then prepare your deliverables to the supplied specifications.
Only what
your film needs.
From a single file to a complete set of deliverables, we prepare masters for broadcast, streaming and film distribution to the specifications you’ve been given.

Your delivery may also need a DCP, an IMF package or a QC report. We can handle these individually or as part of the same project.
The detail,
taken care of.
Picture conversions
Frame-rate conversion, colour-space and transfer-function conversions, and HDR-to-SDR deliverables. We can adapt supplied material between colour spaces such as P3 and Rec.709.
Audio preparation
Audio loudness adjustments, upmixing, downmixing and channel remapping. We build or reorder multichannel layouts, including stereo, 5.1 and music-and-effects (M&E) mixes.
Versions & rewrapping
Prepare alternate versions, including changes to opening and closing idents. Where the format allows, we reuse or rewrap unchanged picture without re-encoding, preserving its quality.
Quality control
Picture and sound review against your delivery requirements, with timecoded QC reports. We can review each required audio mix and carry out the agreed technical corrections in house.
HDR mastering & monitoring
HDR authoring, quality control and monitoring in house, working from your supplied graded HDR material. We prepare HDR masters and any required SDR versions for delivery.
Let’s work through
your delivery requirements.
Tell us about your film, the assets you have and your deadline. Include a link to the delivery specifications if you have one. We’ll review the requirements with you and quote the work involved.
Each project is quoted around the deliverables, conversions and review it needs.
Good to know.
What if I don’t understand the delivery specifications?
That’s a common reason people come to us. Share the documents you’ve received and tell us what material you have. We’ll read through the requirements, explain the work needed and put together a quote.
Can you help with just one deliverable?
Yes. You can come to us for a single delivery file, conversions, a QC report, a DCP or an IMF package. We agree the scope around what your project needs.
What formats can you deliver?
We prepare Apple ProRes, Avid DNxHR, XDCAM, H.264, H.265, AV1 and other delivery formats, as well as DCPs and IMF packages. Send us your specification so we can confirm the required formats, picture settings, audio layouts and versions.
Does HDR mastering include colour grading?
Our HDR work starts with the graded material supplied by your colourist or post-production house. We handle authoring, QC and HDR monitoring in house, along with colour-space and HDR-to-SDR conversions where required.
Can you help with editorial or dailies workflows?
Yes. We also prepare Apple ProRes, Avid DNxHR and other files for film and television editorial and dailies workflows. Tell us the volume of material, required formats and workflow so we can quote the preparation and processing involved.
