How It Works: Our 3-Step Compliance Guarantee
Bridging the gap between creative vision and institutional compliance. We provide end-to-end technical delivery solutions, transforming your project into fully compliant archival packages.
-
1
Submit Your Archive Specs: Share your target institution’s technical delivery mandate (e.g., CNC France, Bundesarchiv in Germany, Cinemateca Portuguesa, or EYE Filmmuseum).
-
2
Pre-Flight "Shadow Audit" & Calibration: Using automated validation engines (Netflix Photon & MediaConch), we convert your raw masters into institutional-grade packages and calibrate them against target ingestion parsers.
-
3
Guaranteed Delivery & Grant Release: You receive your final preservation package alongside an official Forensic Validation Certificate. We guarantee first-time ingestion approval so your grant funds are unfrozen immediately.
1. Our Core Preservation Formats
We convert your raw post-production exports into the exact, future-proof formats mandated by national archives across Europe, Latin America, and North America.
-
🎬
Interoperable Master Format (IMF) Packages (SMPTE ST 2067): Component-based masters isolating video, multi-language audio, and subtitles via XML Composition Playlists (CPL). Preserves custom cinematic and historical frame rates natively via IMF App #4 (Cinema Mezzanine, ST 2067-40), ACES colorimetry via App #5 (ST 2067-50), and streaming preservation via App #2E (ST 2067-21).
-
📦
Open-Source Lossless Masters (FFV1 in Matroska / .mkv): 10-bit mathematically lossless preservation packages recommended by FIAF for television, born-digital media, and national legal deposits. Encoded via RAWcooked to compress heavy DPX/TIFF directories by up to 60% with bit-for-bit reversibility.
-
🎞️
Uncompressed Preservation Matrices (16-bit TIFF / DPX): Frame-by-frame uncompressed image directories with discrete 24-bit / 48kHz WAV audio stems for traditional theatrical cinema vaults.
-
📑
Unencrypted Archival Digital Cinema Packages (DCP): DCI-compliant DCPs delivered completely free of encryption or Key Delivery Messages (KDMs), satisfying strict legal mandates for permanent cultural access.
2. Added-Value Compliance Features
-
🛡️Forensic QC Certificates (Netflix Photon & MediaConch Logs):
Every delivery includes an exhaustive Technical Mastering Report featuring raw XML validation logs from Netflix’s Photon engine and MediaConch policy checkers, certifying adherence to SMPTE ST 2067-2 core constraints.
-
🔒Cryptographic Chain-of-Custody & Bit-Rot Auditing:
Embedded frame-level checksum manifests (framemd5, SHA-1 hashes) and updated ASSETMAP / PKL indices provide a permanent digital audit trail proving zero data degradation during transit.
-
🏷️Sidecar Composition Maps (ST 2067-9) & Metadata Binding:
We bind supplementary assets (original scripts, scanning logs, posters, EBUCore/EN 17650 XML metadata) directly into the package structure, solving the "missing link" in digital archiving.
-
🎧Discrete Accessibility Asset Management:
Captions (CEA-708 / IMSC1), Audio Description (AD), and Sign Language tracks are isolated into separate sidecar files—fulfilling accessibility laws without altering the master video.
-
💶0% Upfront VAT (Reverse-Charge) & 30% Tax Rebate:
As an Intra-Community B2B transaction, services are invoiced with 0% upfront VAT via the VIES reverse-charge mechanism. Additionally, EU producers qualify for a 30% Spanish corporate tax rebate (Article 36.2 LIS Minimis Exception) for hiring Spanish technical post-production services.
-
🔒Studio-Grade AWS VPC Security:
Operating in an isolated AWS Virtual Private Cloud with encrypted pixel streaming and zero direct internet access, our infrastructure aligns strictly with MPA Content Security Best Practices and TPN Blue Shield guidelines.
