Broadcasting Specs

[Bob Zelin]

it is foolish to assume that you “click one button” (broadcast safe) and everything meets a broadcasters specs. This is nonsense. Every broadcaster and cable station has their own stringent specifications, and if you don’t meet these, your media will get rejected.

OP – I delivery digital copy in the UK all the time. The safest bet is to meet the Adstream delivery spec, as they handle the content delivery to every UK & Irish channel and their spec will be fine for all.
You meet their delivery spec, upload the file to them via FTP, and make a new TV order on their website, and select which channels to deliver the copy to.

Details here.

Also – for UK TX, the copy needs to be cleared beforehand by Clearcast (recently renamed to Adway) to make sure it meets legal requirements.

Any specific questions, just ask me.
