QC Services
for adherence to technical specs, but also to regulatory guidelines
(like a broadcaster’s S & P) as well as the identification of creative
glitches (like a boom mic showing in a frame). Here’s what we
offer:
Manual and automated file based QC analysis under the
following categories:
HD/UHD Master QC: A thorough technical evaluation of movies, scripted dramas/comedies, non-fiction series, documentaries etc. Often involves re-QC and re-delivery of rectified versions.
IMF/4K Master QC: Rigorous QC, involving the use of software like Clipster, Colorfront and Transkoder.
Third Party QC (HD/UHD/IMF): Part of the mastering process for high value content, this involves double checking the QC done by a primary vendor.
7.1 Complex Audio QC – Audio QC for theatrical and premium broadcast/OTT platforms. Often offered in parallel with UHD/IMF Master QC.
Acquisition QC – QC for long form content that has already been through Master QC.
Audio Asset QC - Audio QC of multiple audio stems, typically synchronized with a picture master. Involves delivery of mixes in multiple configurations (7.1, 5.1, 2.0), M&E, dialog, music, effects stems etc.
Master Asset/Image Sequence QC – Involves restoring Master DI image sequences like DPX/EXR and Cinema DCDM TIFF sequences from drives or LTO tapes, screening content and verifying check sums.
Library / Catalog QC – QC for general quality and technical attributes of legacy content, typically performed as part of migration, restoration or redistribution projects.
Spot QC – Spot check of content at 3-5 different points. Typically involves checking a minute at beginning, middle and end; along with verification of slate and file metadata.
Watch Down QC – Involves a linear watch down of content from start to end, only stopping to list major issues. Typically performed as a precaution on content which has already been through QC in the past.
Utelly Universal Search Engine
The real challenge lies in developing a search engine you won’t need to constantly rewire to match your audience’s changing viewing habits and demands.
What we provide instead is a ready-to-use, comprehensive search engine built with OTT media providers in mind and with a UI to rival Netflix’s, to retain your existing users and attract new ones by supercharging your search functionality. A competitive Pay TV search engine should, consequently, be able to handle millions of customized queries, many of which are mired with partial matches, spelling errors, and unexpected synonyms. Utelly’s search engine handles even the most unpredictable queries with relative ease. Highly specific searches, such as for actors or genres, result in relevant answers every single time. Don’t just take our word for it though - our incredibly flexible search engine is popular with both boutique domestic and multinational OTT providers grossing billions in revenue.
Utelly Recommendation Engine
To build rich user and multi-user profiles, we identify key indicators throughout the user life cycle, as well as offer the option to ingest existing datasets and combine this with explicit user signals. These profiles are used in conjunction with our enriched metadata, real-time trending topics, and understanding of the wider user-base, to power our world-class recommendation engine.
There is a huge variation when it comes to individual consumption patterns and behaviors. This is exacerbated by the mixing of linear and on-demand content. Many existing solutions fail in the content landscape of today. Our nuanced approach to the challenge allows us to offer a much more effective solution.
By leveraging the connections within the unified metadata repository, better content filtering can be provided, related content can be highlighted and in turn, a better signal is collected to unlock collaborative filtering.
The next level builds upon user activities and their hidden signals for content desirability. Using the latest ML/AI techniques, prediction models are generated and help drive user engagement and ultimately retention.
