1 TECHNICAL STANDARDS FOR DELIVERY OF TELEVISION PROGRAMMES TO The Standards include: Technical Specifications, i.e. the technical production methods which must be used, and the parameters which all material must meet to be acceptable by the broadcasters. Picture and Sound Quality requirements, which also form a binding obligation on producers of material. Assessment of quality is by nature subjective, and is highly dependent on the nature of the programme. Some of the Quality Requirements are expressed in relative terms ( reasonable, not excessive etc), and it will be necessary to make a judgement as to whether the quality expectations of the intended audience will be fulfilled, and whether the broadcaster will feel that value for money has been achieved. Delivery Requirements, which specify the form and layout of the programme material. Every programme submitted for transmission must satisfy a Quality Control process specified by the broadcaster on whose behalf TVT are acting. Any programme failing the QC process on tape or file may be rejected and returned to the supplier for repair. Where specified the supplier must adhere to the specific technical delivery requirements of the broadcaster that form an integral part of the contract. Technical Requirements Video NOTE - This section is applicable to both file and tape deliveries. High Definition Format All material delivered for UK HD TV transmission must be: 1920 x 1080 pixels in an aspect ratio of 16:9 25 frames per second (50 fields) interlaced - now known as 1080i/25. colour sub-sampled at a ratio of 4:2:2 The HD format is fully specified in ITU-R BT Part 2. Origination Material may be originated with either interlaced or progressive scan. Interlaced and progressive scan material may be mixed within a programme if it is required for editorial reasons or the nature of the programme requires material from varied sources. Standard Definition Format All material delivered for UK SD TV transmission must be:
2 720 x 576 pixels in an aspect ratio of 4:3 or, using full height anamorphic compression, 16:9. 25 frames per second (50 fields) interlaced colour sub-sampled at a ratio of 4:2:2 The SD format is fully specified in ITU-R BT Post-production Electronically generated moving graphics and effects (such as rollers, DVE moves, wipes, fades and dissolves) must be generated and added as interlaced to prevent unacceptable judder. Film motion or film effect It is not acceptable to shoot in 1080i/25 and add a film motion effect in post-production. Most High Definition cameras can capture in either 1080i/25 or 1080p/25. Where film motion is a requirement, progressive capture is the only acceptable method. Field dominance (Cadence) Cuts in material must happen on frame boundaries (i.e. between field 2 and field 1). Motion on psf material must always occur between field 2 and field 1 (i.e. field 1 dominance). Note - It is possible to shoot material at 1080p/50. If this is done, the correct 2-frame marker phasing must be maintained when down-converting to 1080i/25 or 1080psf/25. Field dominance must be consistent throughout the delivered programme material. Video Line-Up Programme video levels must be accurately related to their associated line-up signals. Video line-up must be 100% colour bars (100/0/100/0) and filling the 16:9 raster for HD and 4:3 raster for SD. SMPTE pattern bars are not acceptable Timecode and Programme Layout All programmes delivered on tape must be laid out with elements in the following pattern relative to Timecode, file deliveries should adhere to programme material commencing at 10:00:00:00 : Time-code Duration Picture Sound % colour bars (100/0/100/0) Lineup tone Ident Clock Silence (optional) 2fr 2 Frames peak white 1 Frame tone fr Black Silence Programme Programme end of part (multipart programmes) 5 freeze or living hold fade or cut to silence end of part + 5 (multipart programmes) 15 black silence end of prog 5 freeze or living hold fade or cut to silence Video Levels and Gamut (illegal signals) High Definition digital signals will be assessed according to the recommendation ITU-R BT709-5 Part 2. Video levels must be received within the specified limits so that the programme material can be used without adjustment. Any signal outside the specified limits is described as a gamut error.
3 Measuring signal levels Digital video levels are usually measured with a device which displays a trace like a traditional waveform monitor. This gives readings in mv (emulating an analogue signal), or as a percentage of the allowable levels. The limits of signal levels are defined by reference to a nominal black level and a nominal white level. Black level comprises R, G and B all at zero (or 0% or 0mV) and white level is all three components at 100 % or 700mV. In a picture signal, each component is allowed to range between 0 and 100% (or 0mV and 700mV). This equates to digital sample levels 16 and 235 (8-bit systems) or 64 and 940 (10 bit systems). Tolerance of out of gamut signals In practice it is difficult to avoid generating signals slightly outside this range, and it is considered reasonable to allow a small tolerance, which has been defined as follows under EBU Rec103: RGB components must be between -5 % and 105% (-35 and 735mV) and Luminance (Y) must be between -1% and 103% (-7mV and 721mV) Slight transient overshoots and undershoots may be filtered out before measuring, and an error will only be registered where the out of gamut signals total at least 1% of picture area. Many monitoring devices are designed to detect errors to this specification. Blanking HD images must fill the active picture area (1920 x 1080 pixels), SD images must fill the active picture area (720 x 576 pixels). No blanking errors are permitted on new, up-converted, or archive material. However a two-pixel tolerance will be permitted during CG or complex overlay sequences where key signals, graphic overlays or other effects do not fully cover the background image. Where animated key signals or overlays cause moving highlights at the edge of the active image it is preferable to blank these pixels completely. A note of the timecodes and reasons for these errors should accompany the delivered programme. Aspect Ratio All high definition programmes (except as below) must be delivered in 16:9 Widescreen. This means that the active picture must fill a 16:9 screen vertically and horizontally without geometric distortion. Standard definition material must either be supplied 4:3 or, using full height anamorphic compression, 16:9. All standard definition programmes must be delivered in their original acquisition aspect ratio. Older material will be delivered as 4:3 and widescreen material must be delivered as 16:9 with full height anamorphic compression of the picture. Cinemascope ratio letterbox For delivery to dedicated movie channels or at the discretion of the broadcaster, programmes must be delivered with an active picture ratio that matches the current consumer release. In the case of the active picture ratio being 2.35:1 (21:9) or 1.85:1, the picture should be centred vertically between black bars in a 16:9 frame, filling the width of the frame, and with no geometric distortion. If there are any variants of aspect ratio or edits please contact the broadcaster to establish the required version.
4 Floating images Short sequences of images surrounded by black borders, (floating images or postage stamp), may be used for artistic effect. Note however, that widescreen consumer TV sets operating in Auto Zoom / Auto mode often interpret large black borders at the top and bottom of the screen as letterbox, so are likely to enlarge the picture. The resulting unpredictable zooming can be annoying for the viewer and undermine the artistic intent. If used, the black space around floating images must be consistent across sequences of images. Pillarboxed HD material. Some pillar-boxed material is acceptable at the discretion of the broadcaster where it has been acquired on a medium that has the capability to be transferred to a legitimate HD resolution, for example, 35mm film shot using 4 perf at an aspect ratio narrower than 16:9. The pictures must be centrally framed in a 16:9 raster with no geometrical distortion. Use of Non-HD material Some high definition programmes will contain some material from standard definition originals, and sources which are not considered to meet HD broadcast standards, such as domestic camcorders. This material is all called non-hd in this document. To maintain a high standard and meet audience expectations the amount of non-hd material is limited to 25% of the programme s total duration. Non-HD material must not be used for large uninterrupted sections of the programme, unless agreed by the broadcaster. This includes archive material. Non-HD material Material acquired using the following methods or formats is considered to be below the high definition standard and will therefore be treated as non-hd: HDV from all manufactures Most cameras with image sensors under ½ Frame based (intra-frame) recording formats below 100Mb/s Inter-frame based recording formats below 50Mb/s Material generated or processed on 720 line equipment Film not meeting the requirement for HD Up-converted SD video material Particular care must be taken to deliver the best possible quality of up-converted material. In general standard definition pictures must look no worse than the original after being up converted, post processed and down converted. Only high quality up-conversion processes will achieve this. Standard definition video contains a half-line at top and bottom on alternate fields. This must be removed on up-conversion to HD, or it will be visible flickering at top and bottom of the HD frame. Any VITC or switching signals visible at the top of SD material must be removed. Any line blanking from SD signals must not appear in the HD conversion. For these reasons it is necessary that all SD material is zoomed in by a small amount on up-conversion.
5 Standards Conversion of non 25 fps Originated Material Wherever possible material supplied for transmission in the UK should be originated and post-produced in a system compatible with the appropriate SD or HD 25 frame (50 fields) per second video standard. Alternative line or frame scanning rates may produce unwanted artefacts during conversion. In the event that there is no suitable alternative, then material may be converted before delivery providing the equipment deployed performs to the highest technical standard and incorporates motion prediction techniques wherever practicable. Standards conversions of programme material that has already been converted are not acceptable. Technical Requirements Audio This section gives guidance for delivery of programmes using the EBU Recommendation on Loudness Measurement EBU R128. Programmes must be mixed to comply with the EBU Recommendation EBU R128 except for movies delivered to dedicated movie channels or platforms. In these cases, in addition to the stereo R128 mix, the broadcaster may also require a Blu-Ray/DVD surround mix with a greater dynamic range than will not necessarily comply with EBU R128. Programmes which have been mixed to the old PPM6 standard will only be accepted by prior agreement with the Broadcaster. To avoid doubt during the QC process, file metadata or tape paperwork should note whether the programme has been mixed to EBU R128 or to PPM6. For track layout and allocations, see the relevant format delivery requirements in the broadcasters technical delivery specification. TVT expect file deliveries to contain 12 audio tracks even if many of these are silence. Stereo Audio Requirements Stereo tracks must carry sound in the A/B (Left/Right) form. If mono originated sound is used, it must be recorded as dual mono, so that it may be handled exactly as stereo. It must meet all the stereo standards regarding levels, balance and phase Stereo line-up tones Each stereo audio pair must have either EBU stereo or GLITS line-up tone (not a mix of both). Tone must be 1kHz, sinusoidal, free of distortion and phase coherent between channels). Audio files of GLITS and EBU stereo tones may be downloaded from the DPP web site). Digital Audio Reference level is defined as 18dB below the maximum coding value (-18dBFS). Stereo phase Stereo programme audio must be capable of mixing down to mono without causing any noticeable phase cancellation.
6 Surround Sound Requirements Surround sound is transmitted in the 5.1 format, and should always be delivered as discrete tracks. Programmes delivering surround sound must also carry a stereo mix meeting all requirements for stereo delivery. In order for both the surround mix and stereo down-mix to comply with EBU R128 the down-mix should be normalised before layback (for file or tape delivered programmes). Sound to Vision Synchronisation The relative timing of sound to vision should not exhibit any perceptible error. Any post sync audio (e.g. ADR) must be noted in the supplied accompanying metadata (xml or paperwork). Quality Control It is the responsibility of the production company to ensure programmes meet the technical and editorial requirements of the commission. TVT will technically QC delivered material in accordance with the assessment requirements agreed with their client. The QC process has six sections R128 audio loudness measurement Photosensitive Epilepsy (PSE) testing Automated Quality Control (AQC) testing Eyeball Quality Control testing File compliance testing Metadata (xml / paperwork / clock) checking Metadata / Clock / Paperwork Depending upon the delivery method the following data must be supplied either as xml associated with the video/audio file or in the paperwork accompanying a tape. All video essence must contain an identification clock or slate. Any mismatch of supplied data compared to labels, file name, paperwork, displayed clock/slate, etc will lead to rejection. If you are specifically delivering a full DPP file then the DPP metadata schema mandatory fields must be complete. All deliveries to TVT must be accompanied by the following set of data : Series Title Programme Title Episode Title / No Production No Originator Distributor Video Raster size Frame Rate Interlace / Progressive Codec / Tape format
7 Codec Profile (files only) Aspect Ratio Video Comments Audio Track layout R128 / PPM6 Audio Sampling Frequency (files only) Audio Bit Rate (files only) Audio Bit Depth (files only) Audio Comments Line up start Start of ident clock Start of Programme No of Parts Start of Part(s) End of Part(s) Total duration Start of Textless Elements Deliveries Tape Delivery Formats The following 625/25 and 1080/25 tape formats are acceptable for deliveries : SD Digital Betacam D3 only if prior approved by the broadcaster Betacam SP only if prior approved by the broadcaster DV Cam only if prior approved by the broadcaster HD HDCam SR HDCam HDV only if prior approved by the broadcaster File Delivery Formats HD Files: DPP Format: AVC Intra 100 Mbps I frame only, as defined in SMPTE RP 2027:2011, operational pattern OP1a in an MXF wrapper.

Audio Levels
9 Audio should be compliant with UK Broadcasters (DPP) specified EBU-R128 loudness levels. In the case of legacy materials being delivered the non normalised audio level used for the programme mix (e.g. peak level of PPM 6) must be clearly indicated and approval from the Broadcaster must be obtained prior to delivery. Stereo Audio Track layout: Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 4 Stereo Left Stereo Right M&E Left M&E Right 5.1 Discrete Audio Track Specifications: 1&2 Full stereo mix 3&4 Stereo Music & Effects (if available) 5 Front Left 6 Front Right 7 Centre 8 Low Frequency Effects 9 Surround Left 10 Surround Right 11 Mute 12 Mute File Delivery Methods Please see below the technical specifications that are needed for file transfer via Aspera Point2Point, or delivery on hard drive to TVT. Portable Hard disk units must contain both the programme MXF and metadata XML files. A Hard disk may contain multiple programmes together with the associated XML files. Hard disk units must be supplied with the correct PSU and all constituent parts should be clearly asset labelled in order to ensure safe return. TVT are able to set up file delivery to and from TVT within a day, once a test file is sent to us. When set up is requested we will all the Aspera details needed to send this test file over, and consequently all media. Once a test file is received TVT will QC it, when we are happy we can accept it with no errors, we can proceed with full media transference. TVT need to receive all files within the contracted time, if this is not possible then we would expect tape based media, or the files on a hard drive, by then too.
10 All files must include bars, tones and identifying clocks / slates. We will also need an notification once a file has been sent, including the following details for identification : Originator Client name Title of series Episode details Name of file Aspect Ratio Audio track assignment (N.B. 5.1 tracks should not be linked as stereo pairs in supplied files) Audio Level standard Line up start timecode Date Uploaded to N.B. Some of these same details must be included in the xml metadata accompanying the file as detailed in the Metadata section (above). Other delivery methods may be possible, though additional charges may be incurred, by prior agreement only TVT V1.21 DW
