Destination Specs

QC Detail — Netflix 4K HDR

Blocked

5 blockers: HDR, IMF, loudness, channels, timecode.

COLORSPACEColor Space / HDR

HARD FAIL

Expected

Rec. 2020 / PQ (Dolby Vision)

Detected

Rec. 709 SDR — no HDR metadata

Source must be HDR-graded. Cannot synthesize HDR from SDR source.

IMF_STRUCTDelivery Format

HARD FAIL

Expected

IMF Package (SMPTE ST 2067)

Detected

MOV (H.264)

Netflix requires IMF packaging. Pipewright handles IMF wrapping but source codec must be HEVC Main 10.

LOUDNESSIntegrated Loudness

HARD FAIL

Expected

−27 LUFS (dialogue-gated)

Detected

−14.2 LUFS

Audio must be re-mixed to broadcast levels. −13 LUFS off spec. Cannot be fixed by gain normalization alone — dialogue levels need remixing.

CHANNEL_MAPAudio Channels

HARD FAIL

Expected

5.1 Surround (6ch PCM 24-bit)

Detected

Stereo 2.0 (AAC-LC)

5.1 mix required. Stereo upmix is not accepted for Netflix Originals.

TC_MISSINGTimecode

HARD FAIL

Expected

SMPTE timecode at 01:00:00:00

Detected

No timecode track

Timecode must be embedded in the source or generated during conform.

RESOLUTIONResolution

HARD FAIL

Expected

3840 × 2160 (4K UHD)

Detected

1920 × 1080 (HD)

4K source required for Netflix 4K HDR spec. Upscaling is not accepted.
