EXPERIENCIALISTS IN THE FIELD OF QUALITY CONTROL

At 3rd i, we like to call ourselves “Experiencialists.” But what exactly does that mean? Experiencialism is the belief that experience is the true source of all knowledge. It’s an approach to working that privileges first-hand practice over theories spelled out on a white board. It means: our first-hand experience of prior technology paves the way for future expertise in the field.

3rd i’s decades of experience in providing quality assurance to the home entertainment industry can’t be underestimated. While media has certainly changed over the years, the goal has always been the same. 3rd i exists to ensure that the creative promise of our partners’ content is fulfilled through a distraction-free consumer experience.

At our facility in Culver City, we offer metadata curation, file preparation services, and content and technology quality analysis for all digital releases, including UltraHD with High Dynamic Range, and Virtual and Augmented Reality Applications. With our legacy of creating the niche industry of third-party quality control for home entertainment, coupled with our commitment to technology, we are passionately dedicated to adding value to our partners’ content and investments.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

We believe what you believe: The quality of your consumers’ entertainment experience matters most.
At 3rd i, we are passionate about helping our partners to always deliver on that promise.
