Presentation Requirements

Screenshot showing the presentation requirements form

This form is used to collect contact details and the programme title (or episode title in the case of series) and some programme information required during playback. This includes details of the credits (when they start, stop, how long they are and whether the programme continues after they have concluded and if so, for how long) and any other information that may be helpful in transmitting the programme.

Once you have provided the required information, it can be saved by clicking the Save button.

There is no Complete button as this forms part of the Programme Delivery Form.

First/Last Credit Time Codes

When specifying the first and last credit time codes, they are formatted as follows:-

Where:-

  • hh - Hours (in the range 00 to 30 inclusive)
  • mm - Minutes (in the range 00 to 59 inclusive)
  • ss - Seconds (in the range 00 to 59 inclusive)
  • ff - Frame (in the range 01 to 24 inclusive)

The duration should be specified using the format:-

mmm:ss

Where:-

  • mm - Minutes (in the range 000 to 999 inclusive)
  • ss - Seconds (in the range 00 to 59 inclusive)

Transmission Contact

Please provide the details (name, contact phone number and email address) of the person likely to have the most information about the programme. This will not necessarily be the producer. Ideally this will include both an office number and an out of office number.

Programme Title

The programme title can be up to 30 characters. If the episode has a subtitle enter it here. This can prove useful when searching for specific programmes and on occasion it can also provide an indication of the programme content.

Media Number

This is the media number assigned by the facility house or production company for the media that will be used to deliver the programme to S4C.

Media Format

This information is for reference only and is picked up from information in the contract.

Last Credit Overrun

Does the programme continue after the last credit? For example, does the action continue? Music only? Information about the next episode etc. How long does it continue?

If the overrun is less than 3 minutes, this would be considered a No. This information is useful to know if it might be suitable for a continuity announcement over the credits and after.
