Broadcasters unveil new standards for file-based delivery

 

The Digital Production Partnership (DPP) – a partnership between ITV, Channel 4 and the BBC – has unveiled its new technical and metadata standards for file-based programme delivery in the UK. 

Through the DPP, seven major broadcasters (BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Sky, Channel 5, S4C and UKTV), have all agreed the UK’s first common file format, structure and wrapper to enable TV programme delivery by digital file.

These new guidelines will complement the common standards already published by the DPP for tape delivery of HD and SD TV programmes.  For the time being, file-based delivery will still be on a programme-by-programme basis, to be negotiated between producer and broadcaster.
