New Compliance Policy

The master tape you supply for transmission:

• Must be Digital Betacam - no other formats can be accepted for BBC Scotland opt-out transmissions.
• Must be accompanied by a recording report.
• Must be editorially and technically compliant before delivery. See our Technical Specification here .
• Must be accompanied by a Digibeta Safety Copy .

Presentation will not undertake any postproduction operation such as tape duplexing, dubbing onto alternative tape format, multisourcing, audio mixing or caption supering during the transmission process.

• One DVD is required for every recorded programme, copied off the final transmission tape - these should not have a timecode. The cost of the DVD should be included in programme budgets. The DVD must be delivered to BBC Media Management Scotland , Zone 1.02 , Pacific Quay , Glasgow G51 along with the Transmission Tape.
• If the programme is to be subtitled, a timecoded VHS tape should be sent to Subtitling , Red Bee Media , 100 Brand Street , Glasgow , G51 1DG Scotland , along with other material such as scripts.

Please note that:

• All programmes transmit off server, therefore it is imperative that the clock shows the correct programme version, and that the DVD is an exact clone of the master tape.
• The complete transmission reviewed Transmission Tape should be delivered to BBC Media Management Scotland , Zone 1.02 , Pacific Quay , Glasgow G51 except out-of-hours, as noted under Day of Transmission Delivery, when they must be delivered to CMTx or played out by the Production Team.

By when must tapes be delivered?

The due date and time for tapes depends on their Topicality Status .
