DPP creates landmark file format agreement
The BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Sky, Channel 5, S4C and UKTV have agreed the UK’s first common file format, structure and wrapper for the file-based delivery of programmes.
It is hoped that the pan-industry technical standards, created by cross-broadcaster initiative Digital Production Partnership, will end confusion and reduce expense for programme-makers as the industry shifts away from tape.
