Founder¶
DCProof was founded by Peter Forret.
Based in Brussels, Peter holds an M.Sc. in Computer Science and has spent 20 years working in cinema advertising, media processing and mastering — the part of the industry that takes a finished ad or trailer and prepares it, correctly and to spec, for the screen it will actually play on.
Why DCProof¶
That two-decade vantage point — sitting between the people who make short-form content and the screens that show it — is exactly where DCProof comes from. Mastering a cinema ad or a trailer means checking, file by file, that what's inside is technically sound and appropriate for its slot: the right format and loudness, no surprises in the picture or the sound, and content that fits the audience and the market. Done by hand, at volume, under deadline, that check is slow and uneven.
DCProof is the automation of that first pass — built by someone who has done the manual version thousands of times. It watches every frame and listens to every second, then hands a human reviewer a timecoded, verifiable summary, rated against each national standard on its own terms.
