Delivery specs for landscape AI video, as each vendor states them

Broadcast terms used on the sheet

Each term is defined for the sheet, first from a standards or platform page where one applies, then with the vendors whose figures use it. As of 2026-09-25.

What sits in this sectionThe delivery vocabulary the sheet relies on, defined and tied to vendors using each term. It holds 16 pages.Broadcast terms16 pages.Pick oneA pageOne term, its referenceand its vendors.FiguresCopied from vendorpages, dated.

The terms cover resolution tiers, frame rates, colour spaces, transfer functions, bit depth and master formats.

Vendor wording is copied as printed; the definitions are written for this sheet.

  • 1080p Full HD — 1080p is the 1920 by 1080 frame, scanned progressively.
  • 2K — 2K is used two ways: for the cinema frame about 2048 pixels wide, and on consumer platforms for 1440p.
  • 4K UHD — 4K UHD is the 3840 by 2160 frame, four times the pixels of 1080p.
  • Apple ProRes — ProRes is Apple's family of editing codecs, from 422 Proxy to 4444 XQ, used as intermediate and master formats because they decode quickly and hold up to grading.
  • Aspect ratio — Aspect ratio is the frame's width to its height. 16:9 is the television and desktop standard, 21:9 the cinema-wide frame, 9:16 the vertical phone frame.
  • Bit depth — Bit depth is the number of bits per colour channel: 8-bit gives 256 steps, 10-bit 1,024, 16-bit far more.
  • BT.2020 — BT.2020 is the ITU recommendation for ultra-high-definition television, with a much wider colour gamut than BT.709.
  • BT.709 — BT.709, often written Rec.709, is the ITU recommendation for HDTV parameters, including the colour primaries most standard-dynamic-range video uses.
  • Frame interpolation — Frame interpolation creates new frames between existing ones to raise the frame rate or slow motion down smoothly.
  • Frame rate — Frame rate is the number of pictures per second: 24 for film, 25 or 50 in PAL regions, 29.97 or 59.94 in NTSC regions.
  • HDR10 — HDR10 is a high-dynamic-range video format using the PQ transfer function, BT.2020 colour and 10-bit depth, with static metadata describing the grade.
  • Native resolution — Native resolution is the size at which the model generates its frames, before any scaling.
  • OpenEXR — OpenEXR is an image-sequence format for high-dynamic-range frames, using half-float or float values, and is standard in visual effects and colour grading.
  • PQ transfer — PQ, the perceptual quantizer, is the transfer function HDR10 uses to map signal values to absolute brightness.
  • Progressive scan — Progressive scan draws every line of each frame at once, as opposed to interlaced scan, which draws alternate lines in two fields.
  • Upscaling — Upscaling enlarges a video to a higher resolution after it is generated, filling the extra pixels by interpolation or by a model trained to add detail.

2What a generator delivers

For a delivery question like “Broadcast terms”, SceneMixer states the following about what it produces:

Each segment is generated on whatever tier was selected at the time, and the episode composites them together.

Scene order, dialogue and beats follow the script; what the pipeline adds is coverage — which shot sizes, who is in frame, how long each shot holds.
