Broadcast Rec.709 Delivery Checker

Preflight a TV delivery master against a basic SDR Rec.709 checklist. Inspect declared colour metadata, HD/UHD picture format, frame rate and audio sample rate, then review nominal YCbCr level excursions. For broadcast delivery teams; this does not grade or convert footage or certify EBU R 103 compliance.Read more ↓Show less ↑

Frequently asked questions

Does a Rec.709 tag prove my colours are correct?

No. Tags describe declared primaries, transfer characteristics and matrix; they do not prove that the image was graded or transformed correctly. Missing tags are shown as unknown. The checker does not automatically transform or relabel your video.

Is this an EBU R 103 broadcast compliance certificate?

No. This scans nominal limited-range YCbCr levels (Y 16–235 and Cb/Cr 16–240 in 8-bit equivalent) and checks selected file properties. It does not implement the complete EBU R 103 RGB gamut, filtering, area or tolerance rules. Excursions are review flags, not a universal delivery rejection. Use your broadcaster’s actual specification.

Which delivery checks are included?

The report inspects the first video and audio streams, dimensions, declared frame rate, pixel format, bit depth, colour tags, audio sample rate and layout. It scans decoded video frames for nominal signal excursions. HDR mastering, flashing-image safety, loudness and broadcaster packaging checks are not included.
