Software for production and post-production studios.
We build tools for the stages where a mistake costs the most: delivery, conform and paperwork. The first one is Masterproof.
Masterproof
Pilot programme
Check the master before the broadcaster does.
Masterproof automatically checks commercial and promo files against broadcaster and platform technical specifications. Instead of a rejection from QC, you get a report with the exact cause and timecode before the file leaves the studio.
| File | Pack | Result |
|---|---|---|
| spot_ | TVN Media | PASS |
| spot_ | TVP | FAILTrue peak −0.4 dBTP (max −1.0) |
| spot_ | TVN Media | PASS WITH NOTESShort-term loudness −17.2 LUFS |
| spot_ | TVP | FAILDuration 15 s + 3 frames |
| promo_ | YouTube | PASS WITH NOTESInterlaced — deinterlace before upload |
Broadcaster spec packs
TVP, TVN Media, Polsat and YouTube to start. Every value cites the broadcaster’s document and its verification date.
A whole batch at once
Dozens of spots in a queue. The summary report shows which files pass and which go back for a fix.
One measurement, many broadcasters
The same spot evaluated against several specifications without analysing the file again.
Loudness per EBU R128
Integrated loudness, true peak and, for short-form content, maximum short-term loudness (EBU R128 s1).
Picture and structure
Codec, bitrate, interlace and field order, AFD, signal range, black, freeze, silence, frame-accurate duration.
Reports with your logo
PDF and HTML with event thumbnails, a loudness graph and the file’s SHA-256 checksum.
Three steps at the editor’s desk.
Point to files or a folder
On a local drive or Box Drive. A watch folder checks new files on its own.
Pick the broadcasters
One or several: Masterproof evaluates the file against each specification from the same measurement.

Your media stays in the studio.
Masterproof runs locally on a Windows workstation (macOS in preparation). Analysis never sends files or any part of them over the network, which matters for pre-air material.
Every report states which version of a specification the file was checked against and where each threshold comes from. Masterproof helps catch problems before delivery; it does not replace the broadcaster’s own QC or a certified photosensitive epilepsy (PSE) test.
Join the pilot programme.
We are looking for a few studios that regularly deliver commercials and promos to broadcasters. The pilot is free — in return we ask for feedback and examples of files rejected in QC.
More tools for post-production are on the way.
