“Netflix recently revised its Licensed Delivery Specifications to Non-Branded Delivery Specifications in Version 9.2,” said Ashish Basu, executive vice president, worldwide sales and business development at Interra Systems. “Along with supporting the new specifications, we have enabled support for HDR validation, including sidecar Dolby Vision Mezzanine metadata validation, by integrating support for Dolby Vision Mastering tools (library Version 5.1.0). By upgrading the test plans for BATON, our customers can continue using Netflix delivery presets to save time and provide a consistent streaming experience for viewers.”
