Overview
Inspection as a Service (IaaS) is a feature of Backlot that exposes our Automated QC error codes to Partners in advance of assets being processed by Netflix.
Previously, these same inspections were run as part of our transcoding process and any failures resulted in Redelivery Requests. Our new workflow allows you to transfer your assets to Netflix and have them pre-validate through our technical inspections. If we detect any Automated QC errors, those error codes will be surfaced in Backlot with details, allowing you to correct the asset(s) and attempt the transfer again. These failures will not result in Redelivery Requests and they will not have any impact on your metrics.
