Supplying video for Sky Digital TV
I have to submit a video in 720×576 .mov DV format for a UK Sky Digital TV music channel. But my video was shot in 16:9. Do I supply footage which appears squashed on my PC monitor for broadcast with the TV receiver stretching the image horizontally?
Thanks, Ben

Hey Ben – which channel is it? You sure they don’t take 16:9 material?
If their delivery spec is “720 x 576 DV .mov” – that could still have a 16:9 or a 4:3 pixel aspect ratio. You need to get clarification.
And if they only accept 4:3 footage, I’d recommend making it 4:3 letterbox, so you have a black bar at the top & bottom of the frame and then can you still fit all your footage in.
Let me know – I run 3 channels on SKY Digital and am familiar with content delivery specs.
