Tape Outputs & Digital Delivery

No matter if we are outputting a file from your hard drive or a final colour-graded Avid or Final Cut project which we finished, our team pays careful attention to every aspect to ensure that broadcast specification are met. If we notice an error in a supplied file we will call to discuss the issue so that our client is fully aware of possible technical problems. We also output all broadcast projects through a calibrated legalizer to help ensure that Broadcast Safe video levels are achieved. Most projects can be down-converted, up-converted or cross-converted to meet world-wide delivery requirements. Our multiple tape formats include: HDCAM-SR, HDCAM, DVCPRO-HD, XDCAM, HDV, DBeta, BetaSP, DVCPRO and DVCAM. Most programs can also be delivered digitally to meet any broadcasters requirements.

Video Digitizing & Encoding

We can digitize or ingest from almost any source and store the media on our 24 Terabyte server or your removable hard drive. For delivery we can encode your project to any specification at any frame size and frame rate. Our team of technical experts can advise on what type of encoding CODEC will be best suited for your application. Our Digital Service Station enables producers and editors to edit in-house while taking advantage of our technical expertise and equipment for ingest and output.

HD & SD Closed Captioning/Subtitling

PPD's staff are closed captioning experts! Working from supplied transcripts or just final videos we can close caption or subtitle any show for Broadcast, Webcast, DVD and Blu-Ray. We normally work in English or French but if we are supplied with line-by-line English translations we can work in almost any language.

Descriptive Video

Described video is now required by many broadcasters. This is a separate stereo or mono audio track which has a narrator describing the action in the scene for those viewers who are visually impaired. PPD will handle all aspects of this requirement, from writing the script to hiring a male or female non-union narrator, recording, mixing with the stereo program tracks and laying to tape for the broadcaster. If we produce the descriptive video track at the same time as we closed caption the program there is a cost savings.

Blu-Ray and DVD Authoring

Most shows are now edited in HD so it is only natural that we provide Blu-Ray authoring so that the full HD image can be enjoyed by the viewer. Many film festivals, broadcasters, corporate events and consumers are asking for Blu-Ray disks. PPD can also down-convert HD media to standard definition DVD for those viewers who do not own Blu-Ray players. Our services include encoding, authoring, menu creation, colour label and colour insert creation and duplication.
