Hey Riccardo 😉

So I thought a little bit further … and now I understand your hint regarding the IRE values … if I set the scale to percentage (IRE) … then I can work with a specified percentage value rather I can set my low reference line to that percentage value. And then adjust the color wheels (Lift)? Do I undestand this correctly?

Thanks again

W.

Hi Riccardo,

first of all: I really appreciate your help!! 😊

There is a screenshot attached of one of the scenes the broadcasters complains about. I checked it with the scopes and if I understand it correctly, the black levels are actually clipped.

Also I set the scale (y-axis) [waveform scale style] to mV – so it shows me 0 mV (being black) to 7…

Hi Riccardo!

Thank you very much for your answer!

Actually about the Broadcast color safeness I was aware before I delivered the file to the Broadcaster. I exported it according to IRE 103 (SMPTE) … so i thought Im gonna be fine.

But it seems they are complaining about a few explicit talking head shots … these shots are bit dark but its more a…

Hi,

I have been asked to provide a video according to broadcast standards. The file failed QC due to low (luminance) levels, more precisely because of 0.5 mv instead of 0.7 mv for a few shots.

I’ve been playing around with the scopes a bit, but to be honest I’m a bit lost.

Any idea what they want exactly? I’m not quite sure what the mv values are…

Hi together,

I manage a large catalog of authorized distribution masters. The catalog is constantly growing. The files passed QC and depending on the order and concluded contracts those master files will be delivered to different destinations: VoD, as well as Broadcast, with varying specs.

Currently, I am not very satisfied with the current… Read more
