AS-11 deliverables to RTP, SIC, TVI, CMTV, Sport TV with DPP UK cross-border profiles
Here is how this works in practice. We set up broadcast delivery masters for the full Portuguese terrestrial and cable broadcast landscape. RTP (state TV networks, many channels), SIC (Impresa group, top private), TVI (Media Capital), CMTV (Cofina news), and Sport TV (top sports) — using AS-11 deliverable profiles with DPP UK shim variants for UK co-productions, EBU R128 loudness compliance (-23 LUFS broadcast-anchored), and EBU R103 broadcast-safe video compliance verified through pro waveform, vectorscope, and histogram scopes.
Here is what we have to work with. Master deliverables route as MXF OP1a containers with AVC-Intra 100 or XDCAM HD422 50Mbps video essence, BWAV multichannel audio (mostly 16-track for stereo+5.1 fold-down packages), and embedded AS-11 metadata for automated playout-system ingest. DVB-T2 HD digital terrestrial broadcast compliance is verified for Portuguese transmission (Portugal uses both DVB-T2 and DVB-T standards). Cross-border broadcast options extend to Sigma Cine Madrid and Welab Madrid for Iberian co-productions targeting Spanish TV networks (TVE, Antena 3, Telecinco, La Sexta) within the 5-6 hour Lisbon-Madrid drive. Subtitling deliverables in European Portuguese (The country's market is in the past subtitle-dominant), Mirandese for Trás-os-Montes regional content, and Brazilian Portuguese for Lusofonia cross-distribution are produced through the country's deep subtitle catalog custom.
Here is the short of it. Portugal's broadcast delivery landscape covers the country's 10M+ European Portuguese speakers plus a 250M+ Lusofonia global market (Brazil, Angola, Mozambique, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, São Tomé, East Timor) where European Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese deliverables run as distinct broadcast tracks. RTP Play (state SVOD), Opto (SIC SVOD), and the OTT services MEO Go and NOS Play handle SVOD/OTT extension of broadcast content.
Major broadcast deliveries routing through Lisbon facilities have had Glória (RTP / Netflix 2021, first Portuguese Netflix first), Rabo de Peixe / White Lines (Netflix 2022 Azores), 1899 (Netflix 2022 Portuguese co-prod), plus ongoing telenovela and drama production for SIC and TVI. IGAC age-rating certification (M/6/12/14/16/18) is required for theatrical. Broadcast type align to similar tiers. RGPD/GDPR + Lei n.º 58/2019 govern subject-matter rights and data residency under CNPD oversight. EUR settlement at 23% IVA, Segurança Social ~34% on crew engagements.
