In order to ensure the best possible presentation quality, recordings should be made using applicable standard procedures and specifications and be of a first-class, broadcast network quality.
Commercial and Promo material must not have any visible video or audible audio impairments including, but not limited to, dropouts or digital errors and meet industry-accepted standards for format interchange.
Test signals shall be followed by a minimum of 10 seconds of the material identification slate which must end at least 2 seconds before the start of the material.
There shall be at least 10 seconds of black at the end of the commercial material. Each commercial must arrive on its own tape.
FOX broadcasts in 720p/59.94HD video with an aspect ratio of 16x9 and AC-3 Digital Sound. The highest video quality will be achieved by producing and post-producing in 59.94 frames per second with limited use of upconverted materials.

A minimum of 30 seconds of SMPTE reference color bars (SMPTE RP 219-2002 for 1280x720) and test audio tone shall be recorded on the head of the tape. The test levels must accurately reflect the material recorded.
