This also goes for brands. Nevertheless, if a brand placement \ncontract has been signed with a brand, it may remain visible.<br>&#8211; Under the Evin law of 10 January, 1991, alcohol and tobacco are strictly prohibited from being shown.<br>&#8211;\n You should avoid using black and white clips as they are found to be \nless popular with the public and may encourage some channels not to \nfeature them.<br>&#8211; The clip should run for around 3 minutes. <br>&#8211;\n Similarly, be aware that it is important to assess and review the \nenvironment, (radio broadcasts, rankings \u2026 etc.) to maximise the \nopportunities of being featured on television. What\u2019s more, television \nbroadcast quotas are also required by law. So, channels must broadcast \nat least 40% of clips in French and at least 60% of clips should be \nEuropean productions. However, these quotas may be lower for some \nchannels. You can contact our agency directly for further information on\n this subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is the TV format to broadcast a video clip?<\/strong><br>All\n files uploaded to IMD Cloud are immediately analysed by IMD&#8217;s automatic\n quality control. To ensure that your files will not be rejected, please\n adhere to the following recommendations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>HD (1080\/50i)<br>CONTAINER: MXF (OP1a)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>VIDEO:<br>Codec: XDCAM HD422<br>Profile format: 422P@HighLevel<br>Frame size: 1920 x 1080<br>Display Aspect Radio: 16:9<br>Frame rate: 25 fps<br>Interlacing: Upper Field First<br>Bitrate: 50 Mbps<br> Chroma Subsampling: 4:2:2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AUDIO:<br>Format: PCM (Little Endian)<br>Channels: 2 (1 channel per audio stream)<br>Sample Rate: 48 kHz<br>Bit Depth: 16\/24 bits<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Download a list of all these recommendations here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What details are required to contact television stations?<\/strong><br>In\n order to broadcast a clip on television, we need several elements. \nThese are the same details required for a radio broadcast.
