So today's stroll down QC corner involve H and V blanking. This is a file with CLAP Atom removed a.k.a. no clean aperture. This file passed Technicolor QC after a few rounds but now is being flagged at the distribution provider because one of the Arri Cameras, Alexa and Amiras not sure which type is being flagged for what I can only measure as one line of vertical blanking at the top of field 1. and an ever so slight, much less than dvcproHD tapes we deliver without issue to cable networks, amount of horizontal blanking. It's virtually a one line spec of black at the top and left edge of active picture. I measured and Vertically on the flagged camera starts active picture on line 22 Field 1 and line 21 Field 2. The unflagged cameras start active picture on line 21 on both Fields 1 and 2. This is 23.976 1080P delivered as ProResHQ 422. I will blow up the one camera but it just seems like overkill. I feel like the slight blow up is much more degrading to the image than one very slight line of black at the top of frame.
I'm being told it is a concern about the "SilverLight Player" viewer might be using to watch the show. It was described as having a black border on the player that makes even this small blanking issue jarring. Has anyone been hit with this stringent a concern on blanking. I haven't been hit with blanking in a long time. I find it hard to believe that this internet streaming service doesn't have some sort of aperture correction to avoid edge of frame issues. This is 1080P but they also serve up older TV shows etc... that must have much more blanking issues than this which really seems like a non issue to me. Curious what hoops others have gone through and if anyone has more experience with the gotchas of Silverlight playback interface.
