Broadcast-Ready AI Video in Darwin

A raw AI generation is an 8-bit, 24 fps H.264 file. Nothing about it is broadcast-legal. For Darwin campaigns going to air we plan the frame rate at generation, uplift bit depth, grade in Resolve and master to ProRes 422 HQ with OP-59 audio, so the spot clears CAD and QC first time.

Why Darwin Clients Work With ApostleNO. /01

Darwin's defence, gas and government clients commission film where site access is expensive, and AI-augmented production from existing stills and plates removes most travel from the budget.

Remote production and finishing from Sydney. Defence and government clients can request the sovereign finishing tier.

Delivery in the Darwin MarketNO. /02

BROADCASTDarwin via Nine Darwin, Seven Darwin and Southern Cross affiliates. Masters as ProRes 422 HQ 1080/50i with Free TV OP-59 audio (-24 LKFS, -2 dBTP), 12 frames of silence, compliant clapper and CAD clearance.

OOHoOh! Media. Panel-native files for Darwin Airport, Casuarina Square and any other network-specified dimension, generated at native 4K and upscaled with Topaz to the exact pixel spec.

ONLINEYouTube HDR with Rec.2020 primaries and PQ or HLG transfer tags, plus social cutdowns from the same graded master.

Where Raw AI Output Fails Network QCNO. /03

A generation is 8-bit, 24 fps, H.264. The network wants 10-bit ProRes 422 HQ at 25 or 50 fps with loudness-compliant audio and head and tail silence. Every one of those gaps is closed in post, and we plan for them at the brief stage, starting with frame rate. Read the Australian delivery spec guide.

Sensitive and Sovereign WorkNO. /04

For government, defence and security clients in Darwin we offer an air-gapped finishing path: no client material touches a public generation API or cloud enhancement service. Scope and timing are agreed per project.
