Quality Assurance and Quality Control for HD AVI Format Products
NARA uses a commercially available, automated batch processing software tool to evaluate specific quality metrics. Below is a outline of our current processes for HD AVI formatted products. The exact aim point values are still in the testing phase. Once these values are confirmed, they will be added to this site. We continue to adjust our benchmarks and workflows as needed.
Metadata
NARA is developing an in house job tracking order system to better coordinate work at the Branch level. Using automated batch-processing software tools, test plans are developed for each format and/or each appropriate project. The test plan allows for some characteristics to be evaluated on an actionable basis (warning, fail or pass depending on the defined parameters). Others are logged for internal use but are not actionable as a warning, pass or fail. Aim points for these benchmarks are evaluated against NARA's product specifications as well as NARA defined aim points which may change depending on specific project goals. The following represents the quality test plan technical characteristics for AVI products. Terms used in the QC protocols are defined in the Glossary of Terms.

| Rationale |
One-light color timing will be employed as appropriate during the initial capture process but otherwise, the files are unaltered. |
