Does anyone know what format will be the norm for tape submisisons?

If there are links to the different channel guidelines it would be nice to make single list all in one place for reference.

Thanks,

Gavin

A link has already been posted to current BBC thinking - http://www.bbc.co.uk/guidelines/delivering_quality/pdf/tv/HDBookv01_00.pdf - p16. For them at least it looks like HDCAM or HD D5.

You can be certain that HDV will not be acceptable for delivery, even if shooting and production is HDV. HDCAM is, in my view, the ENG capture format for HD, HD-D5 and HDCAM-SR are the studio formats. HDV counts in the upconverted portion for rationing.

Get my test cards document, and cards for 625, 525, 720 and 1080. Thanks to Gavin Gration for hosting them.

Also EBU Tech.3335 tells how to test cameras, and R.118 tells how to use the results.
