ABS scripts and
Pivot Dialogue

IDC has a specialized team of writers dedicated to ABS (as-broadcast) scripts and Pivot Dialogue lists. There is a specific format that must be followed and the scripts need to be perfect. Sometimes they will be used for foreign dubbing and other times they are archived for future use.

ABS Scripts and Pivot Dialogue lists have a particular turnaround and that is based on how long the content show runs: 30min, 60 min, 90 min or feature length. Often the team works on early locked cuts and when final proxies are ready, tweaks are made to match any changes that have occurred.

Master QC

Master QC is performed by our team of experts who diligently scrutinize A/V materials by detecting technical defects and production errors prior to delivering to our clients. We offer quality assurance evaluations for digital releases, including 4K/UHD and HDR assets, as well as verification of Digital Cinema Packages, Blu-ray, and DVD releases.

Some examples of recent feature films mixed in Dolby Atmos are The Lion King and Rocketman.
