1. GENERAL NOTES

THE SPECIFICATIONS OUTLINED IN THIS DOCUMENT ARE APPLICABLE TO ALL COMMISSIONED AND IN-HOUSE PRODUCTIONS. ANY DELIVERY IN A FORMAT OR SPECIFICATION NOT EXPLICITLY LISTED IN THIS DOCUMENT

WILL REQUIRE PRIOR WRITTEN APPROVAL BY AN RBTV QUALITY ASSURANCE MANAGER.

1.1 QUALITY REQUIREMENTS FOR GLOBAL DISTRIBUTIONRed Bull TV is a global content producer and distributor, delivering highly compelling programming to broadcast and online audiences all over the world. As a result, all programming produced for and delivered to Red Bull TV from anywhere in the world must meet the highest technical quality standards, both in its original delivery format, as well as after being converted or conformed to other standards and frame rates used in other regions of the world.

This means that even minor imperfections, which might sometimes be acceptable for broadcast and/or distribution in your region, cannot be accepted by Red Bull TV since these minor imperfections are likely to turn into bigger quality problems after frame rate conversions for other regions, making the converted program unsuitable for broadcast and distribution.

1.2 RIGHT TO REFUSALRed Bull TV (RBTV) reserves the right to refuse taking delivery of finished programs in cases where dropped and/or duplicated frames (freeze frames) and/or other serious deficiencies are found, especially when those deficiencies are caused by the improper mixing of source frame rates (i.e., editing without properly conforming or converting sources to the frame rate of the edit and final delivery) or by the improper use of speed adjustments. This also applies to the use of pre-existing footage, even if deficiencies originate in sources obtained from the Red Bull Content Pool.It is the responsibility of the delivering party to ensure that all delivered programs comply with the quality standards and requirements of RBTV.

DEFICIENT PROGRAMS THAT FAIL THE RBTV QUALITY CONTROL PROCESS MAY BE CONSIDERED 'NOT DELIVERED'.

1.3 TECHNICAL SUPPORT RESOURCESThe quality requirements of RBTV will be described in detail in the course of the quality assurance process, during which additional documentation will be provided. In addition to the standard RBTV quality control, RBTV Production Partners are required to actively participate in the RBTV quality assurance process prior to final delivery. 1.4 PRE-APPROVAL OF FILMING AND DELIVERY FRAME RATEAcquisition frame rate and scan type, and delivery frame rate, frame size and scan type must be approved in writing prior to the start of filming by an RBTV Quality Assurance Manager. Any footage or programs shot, edited and/or delivered in frame rates not pre-approved in writing by an RBTV Quality Assurance Manager may be subject to rejection by RBTV, and no RBTV-provided funds may be used to cover the cost of unauthorized filming, editing and/or delivery.

1.5 RESTRICTIONS ON FRAME RATE MIXINGThe mixing of shooting frame rates (shooting in 25 and 29.97 fps for the same program, for example) is generally not acceptable, and we also strongly caution against the mixing of frame rates in post-production. Especially if you are planning to use pre-existing footage, it is mandatory that you document in as much detail as possible the format(s) and frame rate(s) and legal clearance potential of the pre-existing footage prior to the start of shooting in order to assist to the best of your ability your RBTV Quality Assurance Manager in determining the shooting and delivery format that will best suit your program.

Any later adjustment(s) of acquisition frame rate and/or scan type, and/or delivery frame rate, frame size and/or scan type can only be made with the prior written approval by an RBTV Quality Assurance Manager.

Tolerances of video levels (luma, chroma, RGB gamut) must comply with the recommendations of EBU R103-2000, i.e., luminance (Y) must be within -1% and 103% (-7mV and 721 mV), RGB components within -5% and 105% (-35mV and 735mV), with errors being registered if the total out-of-gamut elements exceed 1% of picture area. Videos that meet these requirements are considered 'broadcast safe'. These requirements do not apply to footage deliveries.

Please note that Rec.709 and EBU R103-2000 also apply to the delivery of graphics.

4.2 SAFE AREASAll graphics must fall within the revised high definition 16:9 title safe areas as specified in SMPTE ST 2046-1-2009, with protection of 90% area / 5% margins for titles and 93% area / 3.5% margins for action.

For productions in North America, additional title safe requirements may apply.

4.3 TIME CODE | PROGRAM START AND ENDSTART TIME CODE | 00:00:00:00Continuous time code (drop frame time code in the case of 29.97 fps-based deliveries).

Programs must start with the first frame of action and end with the last frame of action / last frame of end credits etc. Slates, black frames or color bars prior to the first frame of action or following the last frame of action are not permitted.
