How AJ360 Works

Streamlined Media Quality Control
in Three Steps

From ingest to delivery, AJ360 automates every quality-control checkpoint so your team can focus on storytelling — not technicalities.

01

Ingest & Analyze

Automatically ingest files from any source — broadcast ingest, file transfer, or cloud storage — and run deep analysis in seconds.

02

Validate & Check

Apply broadcaster-specific QC profiles to check video, audio, captions, metadata, and container parameters against your exact standards.

03

Automate & Deliver

Set up fully automated QC pipelines with conditional routing — pass files on automatically, flag failures for review, and deliver broadcast-ready content.
