A one-page checklist to design the QC gate before you ask a vendor for a quote: pick one house mezzanine format, define the automated video and audio check set, set the photosensitive-epilepsy (ITU-R BT.1702) and loudness (ITU-R BS.1770) gates, place QC at ingest and after the encode, set a post-encode VMAF floor, and define the human-review rule for what metrics can't judge.

Fora Soft Video Engineering Handbook
This checklist designs an OTT ingest QC gate: one mezzanine format, automated video and audio checks, photosensitivity and loudness gates and a post-encode VMAF floor. We wrote seven volumes covering the whole video stack; start with Volume 1 for quality metrics and encoding, then Volume 4 for loudness and LUFS, with Volume 2 for ingest. Written by Nikolay Sapunov, CEO at Fora Soft.
