DHKE EnhancePro™

Give Your Project the Professional Finish It Deserves

Preparing a project for professional distribution requires far more than exporting a video file. Broadcasters, streaming platforms, distributors, and film marketplaces expect content to meet demanding technical, editorial, and delivery standards.

With DHKE EnhancePro™, our team professionally enhances your project's technical quality, presentation, and overall polish. Every title undergoes rigorous quality control to help ensure it meets the technical expectations of broadcasters, streaming platforms, distributors, and film marketplaces.

Whether your project needs video enhancement, audio improvement, caption correction, artwork refinement, metadata verification, or delivery preparation, DHKE EnhancePro™ is our most comprehensive professional finishing service.

To help ensure we can deliver the best possible results, all projects must first complete a complimentary DHKE ProjectScan™ review. If your project passes the preliminary review, we'll contact you to discuss the recommended enhancement services and next steps for preparing your project for professional distribution.

What's Included:

Apple ProRes 422 HQ

Apple ProRes 422 HQ is one of the industry's most trusted professional mastering formats. It preserves outstanding image quality while minimizing compression artifacts, making it ideal for broadcast, streaming, and long term archival. Many distributors and television networks accept ProRes as a preferred delivery format.

Native Resolution

Your project is delivered at its native high definition or higher resolution to preserve image quality. Upscaling lower resolution content does not create additional detail, so we ensure your master is prepared using the highest quality source available.

Video Enhancement

Using professional enhancement tools, we can intelligently restore and upscale older or lower resolution footage by rebuilding fine image detail, reducing noise, and improving overall clarity. Unlike traditional scaling, modern enhancement analyzes each frame to produce a cleaner, sharper, and more natural image.

This service is ideal for legacy masters, archival footage, SD content, or older HD projects that can benefit from a modern visual refresh. While results vary depending on the quality of the original source, AI enhancement can often produce a noticeable improvement in overall image quality.

Progressive Video

Many distributors prefer progressive video because it produces cleaner images on modern televisions, streaming devices, and mobile platforms. We verify your project is properly prepared to avoid common interlacing artifacts.

Full Frame Presentation

Improper scaling, baked-in black bars, stretched images, or cropped graphics are among the most common reasons projects fail technical quality control. Many broadcasters and digital distribution platforms require content to be delivered without unintended letterboxing or pillarboxing and expect the original presentation to be preserved. We carefully inspect every shot to ensure your project is properly framed, professionally presented, and prepared for modern distribution standards.

Color & Image Quality

We evaluate brightness, contrast, color balance, black levels, and overall image consistency to ensure your program looks its best across different viewing platforms.

Professional Audio

Stereo Broadcast Mix

Many broadcasters and digital platforms request a properly balanced stereo mix. We verify channel assignments, eliminate imbalance issues, and ensure dialogue remains clear and consistent.

Loudness Compliance

Modern broadcasters use loudness standards rather than peak volume alone. We verify your project meets accepted loudness targets, helping prevent rejection during technical review.

Peak Level Management

Excessive audio peaks can introduce distortion or fail technical specifications. We carefully evaluate audio peaks to provide clean, professional playback.

Audio Synchronization

Even minor lip sync errors can distract viewers. We review your entire program to verify audio remains synchronized throughout.

Noise & Audio Cleanup

Background hum, clicks, pops, distortion, and unwanted noise are identified and corrected whenever possible to improve the overall listening experience.

Professional Artwork

Professional Key Art

Your artwork is often the first impression viewers receive. We create or refine artwork designed to perform across streaming services, broadcaster websites, and promotional materials.

Thumbnail Optimization

Small thumbnail images determine whether many viewers click on your title. We optimize artwork for readability and visual impact even at reduced sizes.

Platform Deliverables

Different distributors require different artwork dimensions. We prepare artwork in the formats commonly requested for digital distribution.

Final Quality Control

Once all enhancements, corrections, and deliverables have been completed, your project undergoes one final comprehensive quality control review. This final inspection helps ensure every revision has been completed correctly and that your project meets professional distribution standards before it is delivered.

Visual Inspection

Every program is reviewed shot by shot to identify scaling issues, flash frames, digital artifacts, dead pixels, frozen frames, image defects, and any other visual issues that could impact professional distribution. Our goal is to identify and correct potential problems before they are discovered by a distributor or broadcaster.

Final Delivery Verification

Before your project leaves DHKE, we verify that every required deliverable is complete, properly organized, accurately labeled, and ready for submission. This final verification provides confidence that your project has been professionally prepared for distribution.

Professional Captions

Closed captions are one of the most common reasons films fail quality control. While many projects already include captions, they frequently contain transcription errors, missing dialogue, incorrect timing, poor formatting, or lack the SDH (Subtitles for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing) compliance required by broadcasters and streaming platforms.

Our team carefully reviews every aspect of your captions to help ensure they meet professional accessibility standards and the stringent quality control requirements expected for distribution. We verify dialogue accuracy, timing, formatting, spelling, punctuation, speaker identification, and meaningful sound and music cues so your captions are prepared for professional delivery.
