Such Arbitration shall be held solely in Los Angeles, California, in the English language. Each arbitration shall be conducted by an arbitral tribunal (the “Arbitral Board”) consisting of a single arbitrator who shall be mutually agreed upon by the parties. If the parties are unable to agree on an arbitrator, the arbitrator shall be appointed by JAMS. The arbitrator shall be a retired judge with at least ten (10) years experience in commercial matters. Except with respect to requests for interim relief, neither party shall be entitled or permitted to commence or maintain any action in a court of law with respect to any matter in dispute until such matter shall have been submitted to arbitration as herein provided and then only for the enforcement of the Arbitral Board’s award. Neither party shall challenge or resist any enforcement action taken by the arbitrator against the losing party. In addition, the prevailing party in any arbitration or legal proceeding relating to this Agreement shall be entitled to all reasonable expenses including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees. Each party shall be permitted to engage in formal discovery with respect to any dispute arising out of, in connection with or related to this Agreement, the provisions of Section 1283.05 of the California Code of Civil Procedure being incorporated herein by this reference.

c. PP hereby acknowledges that the Program and the exploitation rights granted to CPT hereunder are of a special, unique, extraordinary and intellectual character which gives them a peculiar value, for the loss of which CPT cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated in damages in any action at law and that a breach of this Agreement by PP will cause CPT irreparable injury and damage. PP therefore expressly agrees that in the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by PP, CPT shall be entitled to seek injunctive and other equitable relief against PP in CPT’s discretion to end or prevent such breach and to secure enforcement of this Agreement. Resort to such equitable relief, however, shall not be construed as a waiver of any other rights or remedies which CPT may have for damages or otherwise. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, PP’s sole remedy for any breach by CPT of this Agreement shall be an action at law for damages and PP acknowledges that such damages are fully adequate to compensate PP in the case of any breach by CPT hereunder. In no event shall PP have any right to terminate this Agreement or seek or be entitled to rescission, injunctive or other equitable relief.

18. Miscellaneous Terms .

a. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties and supersedes all prior oral or written agreements between them concerning the same subject. This Agreement may only be amended or modified by a written instrument executed by the parties to this Agreement. No failure or delay on the part of either party in exercising any of its respective rights hereunder upon any failure by the other party to perform or observe any condition, covenant or provision herein contained shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such rights preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, no payment by CPT shall constitute a waiver of any term or condition of this Agreement.

b. This Agreement may not be assigned without the prior written consent of the other party except that CPT may assign this Agreement, or any part thereof.

c. Each of the parties shall execute and deliver any further documents or instruments the other may reasonably request to carry out the intent of this Agreement.

Textless and Textless Inserts to be formatted and laid down as supplied from film or data files.

9. Textless elements are to be transferred at tail to matching program aspect ratio, color, framing and length:

HD Feature Aspect Ratio - 2.40, textless will be 2.40 at tailHD Feature Aspect Ratio - 2.35, textless will be 2.35 at tailHD Feature Aspect Ratio – 1.78, textless will be 1.78 at tailHD Feature Aspect Ratio – 1.33, textless will be 1.33 at tail

10. Order of ‘end of program’ information should be as follows:

Slate for textless main and ends Textless main and ends Slate for textless inserts Textless inserts Slate for foreign main and ends and foreign inserts Foreign inserts

11. There should be individual slates for textless, foreign language, and other insert material and they should include the following (If no textless, please state as such on slates and labels)

Content (eg., mains only)Language (specifically for foreign main and ends)Run Time is not required

12. Textless, Inserts, and Foreign Text Material must come in and go out on the corresponding (matching) frame from the body of the program to maintain 3:2 cadence when making interlace tapes. The exact time code need not match, however the frame must be identical. In the event that the end of program material does not match the body of the program, please notify the SPE Telecine Supervisor prior to transferring the material.

Here is an example:

A texted shot in program cuts in at 01:10:11:20. The matching textless shot needs to have a corresponding cut in frame number of 20. (i.e. 02:44:18:20) in continuous time code after end of feature – do not insert matching time code from program.If a shot fades up or fades out, a cut point within the sequence will need to be used as a reference and back timed into the correct position. This happens most often in the beginning of the movie with a fade up of a logo. In this case, the last frame of the opening is used as the reference point and back timed in.

MASTERING ASPECT RATIOS

1. HD masters will be manufactured from DI Data Files or 35mm Positive Film Masters (including Color Interpositives or B&W Fine Grain Masters) unless other source elements are approved by the Sony asset Management Title Manager.

2. Telecine transfer aspect ratio information for New Release and Library Titles.

Original 1.85 theatrical aspect ratio features will be recorded as 16x9 1.78 full frame masters so that when a 1.85 matte is imposed the resulting image will match the original 1.85 theatrical framing.

Original 2.40, 2.35 or other anamorphic theatrical presentation aspect ratio features will be recorded as 16x9 letterboxed to original theatrical framing, i.e. 2.40, 2.35 etc.

document.docx 19

Page 20: wikileaks.org · Web viewdemand retention licensing), regardless of whether or how paid for, programmed, or marketed to the viewer, and regardless of how delivered to or received

Original theatrical aspect ratio versions at 1.66 be recorded with side bars to create 1.66 image matching theatrical framing.

Original theatrical aspect ratio versions at 1.37 shall be recorded at 1.33 with side bars to create 1.33 image to match theatrical presentation.

4x3 Pan/Scan - 4x3 Full Frame versions shall be recorded to 4x3 with side bars and image pan/scanned where necessary to fill up 4x3 frame.

16x9 Pan/Scan - Anamorphic theatrical features shall also be recorded to 16x9 FF with image pan/scanned where necessary to fill up 16x9 frame.

ALL RE-FRAMING DECISIONS MUST BE APPROVED BY SONY ASSET MANAGEMENT TITLE MANAGER AND TALENT, WHERE APPROPRIATE.

3. NEW RELEASES: FOR NEW RELEASES THE VIDEO MASTERS WILL BE DERIVED FROM FINAL, APPROVED DIGITAL INTERMEDIATE FULL APERTURE FILES. THE ORIGINAL THEATRICAL ASPECT RATIO VIDEO MASTER WILL REFLECT THE DI THEATRICAL PRESENTATION FRAMING. THE PAN/SCAN VERSION(S) WILL MAKE USE OF THE FULL APERTURE DATA UNLESS INSTRUCTED OTHERWISE BY THE SONY TITLE MANAGER PER TALENT REQUEST.

ANY ADDITIONAL REQUESTED CLEAN UP OR RESTORATION TO VIDEO MASTERS MUST BE INCORPORATED IN DI DATA FILES SO THAT ARCHIVE WILL CAPTURE THESE CHANGES.

Telecine transfer workflow information for Library Features:

The initial film scan must be a Full Aperture Transfer (Identified as a FAT Master) that is non-color corrected without dirt/scratch removal applied. It will be created in 2K (2048x1556) or 4K (4096x3112) DPX Data Files. The files will be stored on a POD, SANS,RAID.

The FAT master will then be color corrected in a supervised session and dirt/ scratch removal applied to the files.

To create a 1.85 OAR HD Master first a 16x9, 1.78 Full Frame picture will be extracted from the FAT Master. Then a 1.85 Letterbox matte is imposed on the 1.78 resulting in an image which matches the original theatrical presentation of 1.85. Note that two HD Masters are created: 1.78 Full Frame and 1.85 Letterbox. Both are created from the FAT Master in separate sessions. OAR = Original Aspect Ratio

A 2.40 OAR or other theatrical anamorphic films HD Master will be extracted from the FAT Master as 16x9 2.40 (or other projection OAR’s) with letterbox mattes to accurately represent the theatrical presentation.

A 1.66 OAR HD Master will be extracted from the FAT Master as 16x9 1.66 with side mattes to accurately represent the theatrical presentation.

A 1.37 OAR HD Master shall be extracted from the FAT Master as 4x3 1.33 with side mattes to accurately represent the theatrical presentation.

To create a 4x3 Full Frame version HD Master from a widescreen OAR the picture will be extracted from the FAT Master and recorded to 4x3 with side mattes. The image will be pan/scanned where necessary to fill up the 4x3 frame.

To create a 16x9 1.78 Full Frame version HD Master from a 2.40 (anamorphic or Super 35) or other theatrical anamorphic OAR films the picture will be extracted from the FAT Master. The image will be pan/scanned where necessary to fill up the 16x9 frame.

Page 21: wikileaks.org · Web viewdemand retention licensing), regardless of whether or how paid for, programmed, or marketed to the viewer, and regardless of how delivered to or received

ALL RE-FRAMING DECISIONS MUST BE APPROVED BY A SONY ASSET MANAGEMENT TITLE MANAGER AND TALENT, WHERE APPROPRIATE.

4. The last field of picture and time code of a video part/reel and the first field of picture of subsequent part/reel must be consecutive; ending on field 2 and beginning on field 1 so as not to disrupt the 3:2 cadence of interlace tapes.

5. The HD Timecode of the last frame of each Film Reel must be recorded and provided to the SPE QC Evaluator prior to the QC Review. If alternate versions are created, such as Director’s Cut or Extended or Unrated, then the HD time codes of these additions/changes/deletions must be provided to Sony title manager.

6. All titles and credits and insert titles shall fall within the title safe. Manipulation of titles/credits (e.g. squeezing) is not acceptable unless approved by Sony Title Manger.

7. Main credits/titles will be recorded in the aspect ratio of the video master. End credits are to be transferred in the original theatrical aspect ratio on all video masters including 4x3 FF tapes unless the Sony Title Manager approves otherwise.

8. All boom mics, camera flags, crew, production equipment, incomplete rendering, dolly tracks, splices, frame and matte lines, etc. should not be seen.

9. Vertical and horizontal blanking should not shift through feature due to frame lines or edge of film frame.

10. All tapes to have continuous time code; LTC and VITC must match.

All DBC Down Conversions and Digital Betacam Protection Masters must have continuous (525) DFTC, (625) EBUTC across all parts.

11. No noise reduction or other enhancement or signal processing is to be used on color corrected HD Masters, down conversions or clones, unless authorized by SPE Telecine Supervisor.

12. The end of part or program for any part should be noted with the last frame and field of video and/or audio on QC Reports.

13. The end of part or program for any part should be noted with the first frame of black after the last frame of video on slates and labels.

14. Please black over any film leader or two pop information before and after program in black.15. A five second modification card must appear from 00:59:53:00 – 00:59:58:00 on all pan/scan

masters, HD and SD, and on any other masters in which the image is altered from the original theatrical aspect ratio. (The time code location is to be adjusted if the feature does not start at 01:00:00:00).

SEGMENTING AND CREATING LONG PLAYS

1. NO DOWNCONVERSION OR CLONE SHOULD BE MADE PRIOR TO THE APPROVAL OF THE COLOR CORRECTED MASTER UNLESS AUTHORIZED BY THE TELECINE SUPERVISOR.

2. The DBC Protection Master and DBC Down Conversion Masters should be tied to create a long play if HD master is in parts.

Note: When editing several parts to create a long play, attention should be paid to the fields where different parts end and start in order to perform the edit without erasing one field of video, therefore changing the 3-2 sequence. Some of the tapes may end on a field 1 and the following tape starts on a field 2, in this case the edit field on the VTR’s should be changed to edit on field

AUDIO SPECIFICATIONS

TRACK LAYOUT (see table below):

The audio used on a new HD title shall be the native mix of the movie in Dolby Surround (Lt-Rt) on tracks 1+2, a filled Music and Effects track of the movie in Dolby Surround (Lt-Rt) on tracks 3 & 4 and the native mix of the movie in 5.1 on track 5-10 (Layout is L, R, C, Sub, Ls, Rs). If the mastering format does not accommodate 10 tracks, then the native mix in Lt-Rt is placed on channels 1+2, and the Lt-Rt M+E is placed on channels 3+4. The cue track is to contain a mono mix of the feature audio (if this is not possible, one channel of the Lt-Rt is OK). If the source audio is available only in standard stereo or monaural, then this is used instead.

If the track is older and does not have a 5.1 mix, then the track layout would be the native mix of the movie on tracks 1 & 2 and the M+E on tracks 3 & 4. If the movie is mono, then both tracks 1+2 should contain the mono mix of the movie exactly in phase with each other, and tracks 3+4 should contain the mono M+E of the movie exactly in phase with each other.

The label shall reflect the exact configuration and track layout of the audio. Distinction must be made between Dolby Surround (Left Total, Right Total), standard stereo (Std. Stereo Left and Right) and monaural (mono). “Stereo” or “Comp”. is not an acceptable designation. Distinction should also be made if the 5.1 audio track contains no subwoofer information in which case it is designated “5.0”. This information should be supplied with the element, otherwise the telecine supervisor should be consulted. Examples of labels can be found in the overall specifications document.

document.docx 26

DBC masters and DBC protection masters shall contain the native mix of the movie in Dolby Surround (Lt-Rt) on tracks 1+2 and a filled Music and Effects track of the movie in Dolby Surround (Lt-Rt) on tracks 3+4. Typically, these are carried through from the HD master tracks 1+2 and 9+10 respectively unless the

movie is only mastered in standard definition. The cue track is to contain a mono mix of the feature audio, which will need to be generated again at the downconversion (if a mono mix is not possible, one channel is of the Lt-Rt is OK).

HD MASTER AUDIO SPECIFICATIONS:

No noise reduction or emphases are to be used on the audio tracks of the video master. If the source element has noise reduction or emphasis, it must be decoded and the level adjusted if necessary prior to laying to the video master. For example, an SR encoded Lt-Rt printmaster should be decoded, then raised 3db on the output side of the decoder to compensate for the SR level drop. Dolby A printmasters would be decoded but would not be raised in level.

Sampling rate: 48khzFrame rate: 23.98 fpsBit depth: 24-20 bits depending on machine capabilitiesCrosstalk: < -80db at 1Khz, channel to channelDistortion* Persistent distortion should be <.03% on a new title, older titles vary by age. Individual

effects may exceed this figure momentarily.Signal/Noise* >90db A weighted compared to reference level on a new title, older titles vary by age.Frequency Resp* 20 hz-20 khz +/- .5db for new titles, older titles will vary by age and audio source.

*Signal to noise must be judged by the era of the film. New features should have very little audible noise, and the S/N generally should be well in excess of 90 db when compared to reference level. Older films will vary greatly by time period and available source elements. These will have been restored as best as possible without compromising the ambience and integrity of the soundtrack prior to delivery. Very old film elements derived from optical elements that have been restored may have a S/N around 40-50 db, a film from the 70’s or early 80’s may be around 60db (Dolby A), films from the mid 80’s to mid 90’s may be around 70db (Dolby SR). If a film soundtrack seems either too noisy or too processed when evaluated by the vendor for suitability, this should be reviewed by the Telecine supervisor prior to starting the work.

Distortion likewise must be judged by the era of the film. A new film should be well under .03% in general, with loud effects exceeding this momentarily but not consistently. Very old films can have a great deal of inherent distortion, which should be minimized in the restoration process but cannot totally be eliminated. If a film soundtrack seems overly distorted for the era of the film when evaluated by the vendor for suitability, this should be reviewed by the Telecine supervisor prior to starting the work.

Frequency response is nominally 20 hz-20khz, however, adjustment for theater curves must be considered, as well as the age of the film. Modern films have very little adjustment for theater curves, and basically can have excellent frequency response. Films from the 70’s and 80’s may be adjusted for the theater curves in use at the time. This should have been minimized in the restoration process but cannot be undone completely. Old mono films done to the “academy” curve will often come across very brittle and thin compared to films made today. This also should have been minimized in the restoration process, but the overall effect will likely still manifest itself. If the frequency response seems poor considering the age of

the film when evaluated by the vendor for suitability, the Telecine supervisor should review this prior to starting the work.

ACCEPTABLE DIGITAL AUDIO SOURCES:

Digital audio sources must be discrete, with full frequency and data bandwidth. 24 bit resolution is preferred, 20 or 16 bit is accepted. The audio source should be recorded at a standard of 0VU = -20dbfs. Examples of acceptable digital audio sources in order of preference would be:

document.docx 27

Page 28: wikileaks.org · Web viewdemand retention licensing), regardless of whether or how paid for, programmed, or marketed to the viewer, and regardless of how delivered to or received

1) FTP & Cineshare+ Protools files, A hard drive or firewire drive containing Pro-tools 4.3 sessions from a digital dubbing system (e.g. Pro tools, MMR8, DADR)

2) A discrete magneto-optical clone of this type of hard drive 3) 1/2” Digital Multitrack (DASH)4) DA98 HR (24 bit)5) TC DAT 6) DA88

No bit rate encoded sources may be used, such as a Dolby Digital MO designed for an SRD optical film soundtrack.

ACCEPTABLE ANALOG AUDIO SOURCES:

Analog audio sources should have Dolby SR noise reduction, A type is acceptable if supplied. DBX noise reduction can be accepted if necessary-care must be taken in setting the decoding for minimum artifacts. The source must have a full complement of alignment tones and meet the +/- 10 degree azimuth spec.

Acceptable analog audio sources include, in order of preference:

1) 35mm magnetic film.2) 2” Analog Mulititrack (16 or 24 track).3) 1/2” analog tape with time code on channel four.4) 16mm magnetic film.5) 1/4” reel-to-reel with center track time code

NOTE ON MONAURAL SOUNDTRACKS:

Monaural soundtracks shall be in perfect phase on both tracks of the HD master (track 1=track 2, track 3=track 4). If the mono source is supplied on two tracks and they do not have exact phase between them (e.g. bad azimuth or transfer error), then only one channel is used and is layed on to both tracks on the HD master.

NOTES ON MUSIC AND EFFECTS TRACKS:

For new release titles, the M+E track must be filled, on library titles it need not be filled. The feature audio and the M+E must be in sync with each other and within 3db in non dialog areas. The effects

are to be used for sync determination, not the music. This is because the sync relationship of music and effects can differ by a frame or two when compared to the feature track.

If the M+E is supplied as a multitrack element, it must be folded down through a Dolby Surround encoder prior to laying back to channels 3+4. See the technical audio notes for procedure.

AUDIO LEVELS ON THE HD MASTER:

Audio will be uncompressed and allowed the full digital headroom. However, no “overs” are to be recorded in. If the source audio is louder than the digital headroom will allow, peak limiting may be employed pending approval by Sony Pictures.

The reference level for audio on the HD master is –20dbfs. The electrical output at this level is +4 dbv or 1.2 volts RMS on American standard professional audio equipment. This corresponds to 0 on a standard VU meter. The level of the audio source should be adjusted such that the 1k head tone on the audio source shows a reading of –20dbfs on the HD machine PPM meter or 1.2 volts at its output using the signal path designated for the type of audio source used-see the technical audio notes. Each film reel should be checked on its own prior to laying down to the HD master, as there can be large variations between reels due to a number of factors, especially on older titles.

A 1k tone at –20dbfs should be printed along with the color bars on the HD master. See the section on tape formatting for specific details.

LEFT-RIGHT BALANCE:document.docx 28

Page 29: wikileaks.org · Web viewdemand retention licensing), regardless of whether or how paid for, programmed, or marketed to the viewer, and regardless of how delivered to or received

The left/right level balance must be equal within ..25 db or better for center screen dialog and effects. This must be checked and fine-tuned in program after a course adjustment using the head tones-the head tones by themselves are not to be trusted. Each film reel should be checked on its own prior to laying down to the HD master, as there can be large variations between reels due to a number of factors.

AZIMUTH AND PHASE COHERENCY:

The absolute phase of the left and right channels must be accurate to within +/- 2 degrees. This is determined on an x-y oscilloscope as the angle of the x-y line. Typically, 0 degrees of phase is represented as a 45 degree line on the scope pattern. Absolute phase errors will manifest as an line angle greater than 47 degrees and less than 43 degrees.

Azimuth of center channel material (e.g. dry center screen dialog and mono effects) must be accurate within +/- 10 degrees. The width of the x-y scope line pattern is used to determine the azimuth, a thin straight line being 0 degrees, and an oval being 45 degrees.

The azimuth of the source must be fine adjusted in program after a coarse adjustment using the head tones. The head tones by themselves are never to be trusted. Each film reel should be checked prior to laying it to the video master, since the source for each film reel may have been made on different machines. This is quite often the case with older titles that originated on analog, even if the source used for the laydown is digital.

If the source element cannot be adjusted to be within this tolerance, the telecine supervisor must be contacted prior to undertaking the job. The issue will be reviewed, and a new element may be supplied or the issue approved as is. Digital sources that exhibit azimuth errors will almost certainly need to be remade. The source should be checked in a pre-evaluation for this issue-see the section on QC specifications for more details.

SYNC STANDARD:

Lining up the “2pop” sync marker on the film head leader and printmaster or M+E for each film reel will be used to attain the proper sync in most cases. If this does not look right, then the telecine supervisor is notified. A film one-lite video made from a sound print in film reel lengths should be referenced for the correct sync if there is a question. This can be requested from the telecine supervisor if it has not already been supplied. The HD master sync relationship should be as good or better than the film one lite.

Absolute sync must be within a field on production dialog and production effects, added foley within 1-2 frames. The only exception would be a film with poor overall sound editorial, which would be confirmed by consulting the film one light video reference. Questionable sync must be approved by the telecine supervisor.

TECHNICAL AUDIO NOTES:

Suggested Laydown Procedure Using A Digital Audio Source:

Note regarding MO disks:Care must be taken to play these on a system capable of playing them directly with no errors. If there is any question whether the MO disk provided can be played in real time with no dropouts, then it should be file copied to a hard drive first and then played out from the hard drive when transferring to the video master.

Suggested Signal Path for Digital Audio Sources:Digital audio should be transferred through the AES inputs on the HD machine. If the speed or sample rate of the source does not match the video, then the source is clocked at the rate necessary to attain the proper speed, and a high quality sample rate converter is used to attain 48k. The A/D and D/A converters on the source machine and HD video deck should not be used.

If the HD machine has an internal sample rate converter, this should be used only if a high quality outboard sample rate converter is not available. Note that many video machines default to having the rate converter “on”, so this must be turned off when using the outboard sample rate converter (this is also known as “data” mode).

document.docx 29

Page 30: wikileaks.org · Web viewdemand retention licensing), regardless of whether or how paid for, programmed, or marketed to the viewer, and regardless of how delivered to or received

A typical example would be a film mix which is 47.952k, 23.98 fps, 29.97 ndftc. In laydown, this would be run at 23.98 fps to match the frame rate of the HD master, but the sample rate would be converted from 47.952k to 48k to match the HD masters’ audio sample rate.

Noise Reduction Decoding of Digital Audio Sources:If the source is encoded with noise reduction, this must be removed and the level adjusted when transferring to the video master. This will be especially necessary if the source element is a “Dolby SR” printmaster. A good way to do this from a digital source is to first adjust the playback machine to the proper speed if necessary per the above procedure. The digital outputs are then run into a high quality outboard D/A converter, next into a Dolby 363 with its output boosted 3db, and then into a high quality

outboard 24 bit A/D clocked at 48k. The output of the A/D converter goes into the HD video machines’ AES inputs. The A/D and D/A converters on the source machine and HD video deck should not be used.

Suggested Laydown Procedure Using An Analog Audio Source:

Signal Path:Analog audio should be digitized using a very high quality outboard D/A converter at 24 bit resolution and this run directly into the AES inputs on the HD machine without going through a digital router. The video deck’s analog inputs should not be used.

Fold Down and Dolby Surround Encoding for Music and Effects and Printmasters if needed:

If the supplied audio source for the M+E or Printmaster is a multitrack element, such as a 4+2, 5.1 or 6+2 M+E, this will need to be run through a Dolby Surround encoder. Only the main audio channels are to be used to create the Lt-Rt M+E. Do not include the “extra or “option” track-these are generally for reference only. (e.g., for a 4+2 M+E use only the Left, Center, Right and Surround track. For a 6+2, use only the Left, Center, Right, Left Surround, Right Surround and sub tracks).

On a case by case basis, some of the “extra” material from the “+2” tracks or material from a separate “helper” unit may be requested to be added-this work will be clearly detailed in the PO if this is to be done. In general these are not used for the video master.

The subwoofer channel of a 5.1 or 6+2 may need to be low-pass filtered at 80Hz prior to doing the fold down if this was not already done in the film production. Listen in a full range speaker first to be sure it is filtered-quite often it is not, which will cause issues.

It is suggested that if the source is digital that a Dolby DP563 or DMU be used as the Dolby Surround Encoding unit, which are designed to take up to 6 digital inputs and create a 2 track Lt-Rt in the digital domain easily. The steps detailed above for a digital audio source should be followed. These have a menu which will allow the combining levels to be adjusted, as well as desired inclusion of subwoofer information. Call up the menu and adjust the levels accordingly using the parameter buttons. General parameters on this menu would be: L= 0, C= -3, R= -3, Ls = -3, Rs= -3, Lfe = -6

If the source is analog, 4 channels of outboard A/D can be used ahead of the DP563 or DMU. If a DP563 or DMU is not available, then a Dolby SEU4 or DS4 may be used prior to a 2 channel outboard A/D converter. If this is done, then the surrounds are combined ahead of the encoder at –-3db each, and the Lfe channel is combined to the left and right channels at –6db. As noted, the subwoofer channel may need to be filtered at 80Hz prior to doing this if this was not already done in the film production-listen in a full range speaker first to be sure it is filtered.

If the audio level goes over +20 after combining, peak limiting can be employed at the discretion of the telecine supervisor. The “container” in the DMU is ideal-it can be set for –6, which is the least limiting. A DS4 would have its container turned all the way CCW. The 563 has a “limit” button-adjust in the menu. If any other encoder is used, a stereo coupled peak limiter can be placed at the output prior to the A/D converter.Adjust output levels of the encoded at head tone to –20dbfs as above. M+E levels should match printmaster levels within 3 db in non-dialog areas

SONY PICTURES FEATURE FILM MASTERING DIRT AND SCRATCH REMOVAL PROCEDURES

An Automated dirt cleaning pass will be made to the color corrected FAT Master or DPX File, if needed. Then the FAT Master or DPX File will be sent to the Restoration department to manually complete the dirt and scratch removal, picture warp and splice bump fixes, miscue density/color correction, de-flicker and, image jitter correction. The allotted hours prescribed by the Sony RFP package will be 50 hours each title for automated and manual cleanup combined.The DRS department will then report through the Customer Service Representative (CSR) the need for additional hours of restoration and/or different strategies for fixing problem areas. The Sony Title Manager will review the work completed to date and either approve the additional work and hours or direct how to proceed with the restoration.

QC “TYPE” DEFINITIONS

FILM TRANSFER MASTER QC (HDCAM-SR) – FTM QC’s are intensive QC’s that will contain the following listed below as a guide. The main purpose of this type of QC is to identify and correct as many fixes as possible before dubbing to subsequent generations.

document.docx 31

Page 32: wikileaks.org · Web viewdemand retention licensing), regardless of whether or how paid for, programmed, or marketed to the viewer, and regardless of how delivered to or received

1. Video, audio, head build and signal parameter. Verify the program identification, transfer version, aspect ratio, audio configuration and barcode information. Verify whether or not subtitling exists. Check slate and labels for errors. Title confirmation must match exactly to what is found in the body of the program.

2. Identify telecine, colorist, editing and CGI issues that need to be addressed prior to program approval. Examples include but not limited to checking color match consistency, framing/positioning, and proper scene sequencing. Also check for CGI errors.

3. Confirm that the titles, text and subtitling are within title safe area and are properly centered. Anything found outside of title safe area will be left to the PPS title supervisor’s discretion for possible fixes or approval.

4. Note any dirt and stain fixes that are central to action or on character’s faces. Rate any fixes as a “3” on the QC report.

5. Example minor dirt, stains, grain, element related soft resolution, contamination, shifts, breathing, flicker, ticks, pops, distortion, static on the report. State on the QC report if the defects are on the source material or if the defects were downgraded. Please note a few examples of each anomaly if possible to make a well-rounded report. Rate all downgraded defects as a “2” on your QC report.

6. Always note and timeout subtitled and texted scenes on the report. Confirm that all scenes including mains and ends are accounted for in the textless section. If the textless material is incomplete, describe the scene on the report and reject.

7. In the comments section write briefly and thoroughly about the quality and content of the element. If any defects were downgraded write this in the report too. Note in the comment section whether or not textless material is present and complete.

8. For features that we do not create non-subtitled masters for, are built with subtitles and have textless for the subtitles following the end of the feature, a list of all the separate subtitle cards (not just the first and last subtitle of a section) must be included. Our measure for this has been when the total subtitle time does not constitute more than 25% of the feature.

DBC QC’S – These QC’s are less intensive and the objective is to note examples of film defects, minor conversion ringing or any minor content issues. Check the video, audio and signal parameters. Verify program identification, transfer version aspect ratio, slate information and audio configuration. Reject for digital hits audio or video, conversion errors, formatting errors or any rejectable errors that may have been missed during the prior QC. Refer to the HD report before rejecting a tape. At this stage all dirt fixes, colorist and editor fixes should be completed.

SPOT CHECK QC’S – Check the video, audio, head build and signal parameters. Also verify the program identification, transfer version, aspect ratio and audio configuration. Check the RF at five points within the program. Do not generate a report for this type of QC.

SONY PICTURES ENTERTAINMENTQUALITY ASSURANCE GUIDELINES

The following is a summary of QC points that is a requirement for all QC operators to be familiar with prior to quality assurance evaluations of SPE product.

1.1 QC PREPARATION & PROCESS

a. Be sure that the QC report to be filled out is a current SPE Post Production Services approved report. Be sure that any information provided on the report is accurate and completely filled out. Incomplete and inaccurate reports will be rejected and returned for correction.

b. Before beginning a QC confirm the aspect ratio, audio configuration and timecode, check the RF, and or channel condition activity in at least five spots within the body of program. Bars and tone should reflect program levels. Check to verify if the timecode is correct. Do not continue QC if any of these defects are found.

c. Check slate and label information and verify if they are correct. Sony and vendor barcodes must be present on tape. Any corrections are to be made prior to shipping of element. Please make sure to include any copyright information on the QC report.

d. Be sure that equipment used for QC is properly calibrated and that the correct monitoring environment is used. Example, QC’s are not to be done “machine side” in tape rooms or in ill equipped rooms that will impede a quality QC process. Do not QC a tape on a machine from which it was made.

e. Sony uses a numerical defect rating system which consists of a “1”,”2”,”2+” and a “3” Beginning with a “1” which equates to minor flaws within the program that would be barley perceptible and will not distract the viewer when viewed or heard in real time within the context of a scene. An example would be a slight stain not on a character or a faint audio tick in the mix.

f. A “2” rating will be perceptible and slightly distracting, but not repetitive. An example would be production related loose lip sync or moderate dirt or scratches not central to action.

g. A “2+” rating is immediately distracting and should be brought to the attention of the title supervisor. Examples would be audio static & distortion, a mid scene hue shift, titles out of safe action and film defects on a central character. Defects to be downgraded are left to the title supervisor’s discretion.

h. A “3” rating will be severe in nature and will cause rejection. A “3” is immediately perceptible and very distracting. Examples are incorrect aspect ratio, down conversion artifacts, tape stock damage, missing program material, poor RF, break in timecode, digital hits, excessive film dirt, damage and bad color match.

i. Keep reports consistent from operator to operator and report to report.j. Always list the timecode, describe a scene and if possible, a line of dialog to pinpoint the locations needed for

review.

1.2 EXAMPLES OF WHAT TO LOOK FOR

a. Induced Artifacts such as DI conversion and telecine errors, oversaturation on DI color, incomplete rendering or visible rendering errors, visible vfx mattes, poor quality vfx, excessively grainy picture, noisy video image, replicated or skipped frames, static or “dead” pixels, compromised resolution, incorrect video levels, digital hits as well as minor to severe film defects. Confirm on the highest source from which the defects came from and note it on the report.

List all noteworthy flaws. Do not assume that SPE is aware of all problems found within the program The telecine supervisor will be responsible for signing off any defects in question, b. Titles and texted scenes should fall within safe action and any text over picture including mains & ends and

subtitled material must be represented in the textless section at the tail of program. Note if mains or ends are letterboxed and if they are over picture.

c. Note color match errors if any in report. Any fixes are to be left to the title supervisor’s discretion.d. Note excessive audio and video levels on report. Note scene description or line of dialog. Any levels

Exceeding technical specs will rate a “3”.e. M & E tracks should be free of intelligible English and bleedthough. Any English shall be noted with

what is said on program. Song lyrics and foreign dialog will be listed as an “fyi” on the QC report. Note any missing or loose sound effects.

f. Edits should be clean and are to follow proper field cadence. No fields or frames of video or audio shall be lost when segmenting for a longplay dub. Programs shall begin at 01:00:00:00 field 1.

g. Breaks in control track, loss or interpolated timecode found on dubs will not be acceptable. h. Excessive film flaws such as heavy scratches, dirt, damaged film, black frames, missing frames

Degeneration of element, stains, poor audio quality, excessive hiss, dropouts and out of sync audioshould be noted and brought to the title supervisor’s attention for possible fixes.

1.3 TRACING ERRORS & DEFECTSa. Always make sure to verify if the audio & video defects are from the source element. Accurately

specify the source on the report. Errors on the source should be corrected as soon as possible as to meet the title supervisor’s deadlines. If audio is out of sync, contact telecine supervisor immediately. Any audio corrections, including for sync, which occur after the initial laydown must be approved by the telecine supervisor.

b. If a rejectable problem is found and is traced back to the source element indicate this on your report as a “3” with timecode and description of problem. The title supervisor will make a judgment. If the error was not listed on the source report, list this on the report too.

1.4 TEXTED AND SUBTITLED SCENES / PROGRAM SEGMENTATION AND RUN TIME

a. Note the “in” and “out” timecodes of each tested or subtitled scene present in the program and input on the report what text is present and whether or not the text if over picture or black. Also timeout the duration of the scenes or subtitling found within the program. Number and count the subtitled or texted

document.docx 33

Page 34: wikileaks.org · Web viewdemand retention licensing), regardless of whether or how paid for, programmed, or marketed to the viewer, and regardless of how delivered to or received

scenes and confirm if the material is accounted for in the textless section. If any material is missing, note the scenes and the timecode of the missing material and reject the tape.

b. With “in” timecode location of 01:02:02:02 to the “out” timecode of 01:02:06:02 with “January 7th” asthe text over picture with the main focus being a green house the QC’er should list on the report with“01:02:02:02” in the timecode column and “Texted scene over picture: January 7th” on the column to the left and then note on the right column, “green house” in picture and “texted scene #1 out at 01:02:06:02”. The scenes length of: 04 seconds should be noted in the duration section of the report.When subtitling is involved it should be noted as “Subtitling over picture” on the report.

c. Always check the tape and confirm that the program begins at 01:00:00:00 field *1. If a program does not begin at the above listed timecode this is cause for automatic rejection and the tape is not to be sent out. Do not mistake film black for video black since the “Columbia” logo starts with a fade up from black.

d. For proper segmentation of DVD masters the timecodes listed on all reports must be frame / field ac- curate and tape timecodes must be sequential. Example: on part one the last frame and field of inten- ded picture and audio is at 01:50:01:01 field *1, then part two must begin at 01:50:01:01 field *2 as being the first frame and field of intended picture and audio. Or, if part one ends at 01:50:01:01 field *2 then part two must begin at 01:50:01:02 field *1. When counting the runtime do not count the first frame of black after each part. For example if part one ends at 01:50:00:00 field *2, then the runtime is 50:00:00 not 50:00:01. Always list which field the part of intended picture and audio ends on and input the information on the QC report. 1.5 RATING TABLE
