Common use of Video Levels Clause in Contracts

Video Levels. Reference color bars shall be a true indication of the program’s chroma gain and phase, sync amplitude, video and pedestal levels. A1 - Peak chrominance shall not exceed 110 IRE units. A2 - Peak luminance shall not exceed 100 IRE units. A3 - Pedestal shall not exceed 7.5 IRE units. Blanking: B1 - Horizontal blanking shall be at 10.8 ±.02 micro seconds, maximum B2 - Vertical blanking shall be at 21 ± 0.5 lines, maximum. B3 - Both horizontal and vertical blanking shall meet RS170A specifications for NTSC B4 - Programs available with line 21 captioning shall be delivered with captioning intact. B5 - Captions must conform to specifications described in EIA document #608. Luminance level of the line 21 data must be 50 IRE ± 5 IRE. 40 IRE units, maximum. Set Up/Black Level: 7.5 IRE units, maximum E1 - Maximum Luminance: 700 mV E2 - Minimum Luminance: 0 mV E3 - Range: 700 mV E4 - Maximum Chrominance: 350 mV E5 - Minimum Chrominance: -350 mV E6 - Range: 700 mV E7 - Sync: -300 mV E8 - Peak to Peak : 1 Vpp Luminance: If Master contains character generator or graphics inserted material, the following specifications shall be met: F1 - Peak luminance shall not exceed 90 IRE. F2 - Peak-to-peak chrominance shall not exceed 50 IRE. F3 - Peak chrominance plus luminance shall not exceed 100 IRE. The audio dynamic range of program material must be suitable for television broadcast. Average should be between -20dB and -10dB. Instantaneous audio peaks shall not exceed +10dB over average level. The M&E track must be in synchronization with the video and any dialogue track. Along with the color bars, there must be a 1 kHz tone recorded at -20dB level and the program audio must reference the tone at the beginning of the tape. The tone must be on all 4 audio channels. All audio shall be recorded with Dolby NR. Additional Considerations For SD Materials Delivered on Tape. Digital Betacam NTSC tape, in 525 line NTSC format, with SMPTE Drop Frame time code. No audio element can be delivered separate from the video element. A minimum of 60 seconds of color bars and test audio tone shall be recorded on the head of the tape. The test signals must accurately reflect the program material recorded on the program tape.
