This Strategic Programme is about Quality Control (QC). Broadcasters moving to file‐based production facilities have to consider how to use automated QC systems. Manual QC alone is not adequate anymore and it does not scale.

Four Use Cases

The EBU Strategic Programme on Quality Control (QC) has identified four main use cases:
 

1. Ingest
2. Legacy archive transfer to files
3. Final programme delivery
4. Programme exchange

Deliverables

The Programme is specifying detailed requirements for the above use cases and is producing five deliverables:

1. Requirements on QC
2. Status of existing QC tools
3. QC guidelines
4. QC best practices

5. Library of 'bronze' QC test files (available already, for active group participants ).

More information

See our Quality Control page for an overview of available presentations, articles, etc.
