Media Encoder export settings for TV broadcast

[Cat House Productions]

Good morning guys!

I need your help. A client of mine asked for this format because the video that I'm making for him will be broadcasted on Television:

High Definition

XDCAM HD 422

File Type

MXF op1a

Video Input

Digital SDI

Video Frame Rate

25 fps

Resolution

1920 x 1080

Video Codec

Mpeg-2 4:2:2 Profile @ Main Level

Video Bitrates

50 Mbps Long GOP

GOP Structure

IBBP

GOP Size

12 frames

Audio Input

Digital: AES / Embedded SDI  

Audio Tracks

1&2: Primary Language

3&4: Secondary or M&E or other

Alternatively Dolby Digital 5.1

Audio Content

As per tape

Sample Frequency

48Khz

Audio Codec

LCPM 16 or 24 bit up to 8 tracks

Any idea how to get these specs on media Encoder?

Those specs are nonsense and whoever you talked to doesn't know what he's talking about and just read the specs off a cheat sheet. XDCAM is a pure acquisition format off the camera. Even for broadcast work you would simply send an MPEG 4/ H.264 file most of the time, with the real point being that the audio levels and color gain have been adjusted accordingly. Of course you can embed LCPM audfio (plain WAV/ AIFF) by tweaking the settings accordingly just as you could create an MXF wrapper, but honestly, find someone at the TV station who is actually responsible for the tech side of things and can tell you what's really needed.

Thank you for the response. I feel the same way too, because these specs do
not respond to export settings you would take from Media Encoder or other
software. At least not 100%. What I'll try is to export in MXF OP1a format
with codec XDCAMHD 50 PAL (4:2:2) and we'll see what happens.

UPDATE : To anyone who might have the same issue, I sent the final TV ad video, the client forwarded it to the TV station, never came back for adjustments. So, all good! This is probably the way to go when exporting with Media Encoder.

Thanks for reporting back with what worked.

Your answer is nonsense. If it's recorded, edited and broadcast in the same codec (and that TV station is obviously based on XDCAM HD 422) picture quality losses are non-existent (if smart rendering is enabled in case of Adobe). The stream is simply passed on to a new file without reencoding. I use XDCAM for recording and delivery and XDCAM is what's actually broadcast on the TV station I work with.

Obviously, anything can be transcoded to XDCAM by the TV broadcaster, but there's a reason they want that format.

In this case it's besides the point, but
