CNMC-compliant broadcast masters to RTVE, Atresmedia, Mediaset, Movistar+, TV3, ETB, TVG, and À Punt with IMF and ProRes 4444 XQ deliverables

Here is how this works in practice. Broadcast delivery for productions finishing in Spain operates against a deep multi-TV networks compliance matrix run by CNMC (Comisión Nacional de los Mercados y la Competencia). The regulatory authority running Spanish television technical standards. National TV networks RTVE Tech-Ops, Atresmedia (Antena 3 / laSexta), Mediaset España (Telecinco / Cuatro). And Movistar+ each publish their own technical specs layered on top of the CNMC base. While the autonomous-community public TV networks — TV3 (Catalonia, in Catalan). ETB (Basque Country, in Euskera), TVG (Galicia, in Galego). And À Punt (Valencian Community, in Valencian).

Here is the short of it. Each keep language-specific delivery needs driving the multilingual mastering pipeline. We set up broadcast deliverables through Mediapro Post Barcelona, Telson Madrid, Apache Digital, Deluxe Madrid, and Madrid Lab. Facilities keeping IMF AS-11 wrapper expertise and IMSC1 subtitle authoring for the Castilian Spanish, Catalan. Basque, Galician, and Valencian language tracks.

Here is the breakdown. Master deliverables ship as IMF (Interoperable Master Format) packages with multi-version compliance. ProRes 4444 XQ broadcast masters at 4K UHD and HD resolution, DNxHR HQX backup mezzanines. And AS-11 DPP wrapped MXF files for direct-to-TV networks traffic. Audio configurations cover Dolby E + stereo for legacy SD broadcast, 5.1 surround for HD primetime, Dolby Atmos for the prestige theatrical-broadcast crossover. And full M&E tracks for global versioning through the heritage 1,500+ films-per-year Spanish dubbing industry pipeline.

Loudness compliance is verified to CNMC spec and EBU R128 with full-cycle measurement reports. Gamut and luminance to ITU-R BT.709 for SDR and ITU-R BT.2100 / HLG for HDR broadcast. Closed-caption / subtitle deliverables ship as IMSC1, EBU-STL, and SCC sidecars in Castilian Spanish, Catalan, Basque, Galician, and Valencian as the TV networks needs.
