Prepping for TV broadcast....... (digibeta)

Hi there,

I have some questions based on a lack of any solid work flow for getting material ready for TV.

We have a 4.20 minute music video that's set for TV. Shot in HD - we need to get the video onto digibeta. We already have exported to DV tape - easy. Digibeta will require us getting a studio to do it with the right equipment.

I have the following question:

  • what format should I be giving the footage to the copy house? Digibeta is non HD - so do we need to export an uncompressed file scaled down to SD?
  • What audio levels to set - one guy told me to set audio levels at -10db and another chap said to set the audio levels at -6db. Which is right and why the volume decrease for TV?
  • What kind of price should I be looking at for a straight transfer of video to digibeta and then 3 copies done? Just a ballpark..
Any help, MUCH appreciated as I feel I'm chasing my tail so far :dankk2:
