3 DIGITAL DELIVERY PROCEDURE: Producing in the field: After material has been recorded in the field it needs to be captured to a portable PC or MAC. We recommend to capture video as DV25. Edit your material to only include what you want to send to the PACTV POOL. Compress the video: Your editing or capture software will have an option for Saving Video or Exporting Video as a compressed file format. The best format for news would be either H.264 or MP4(avi) at around 4 mbits. Alternate would be MPG2 at 5 Mbits Save the video so its easy to identify: Your company Date Slug. Like this: PACTV CAR ACCIDENT FW605 Slate Information Use your editing software to create a 5 second slate to place in front of your video. Connect to PACTV FTP SERVERS. Upload the video: After you have compressed and saved your video you will need to send the file via FTP. You can not send a file using a web browser! Most people use CuteFTP or Filezilla FTP Clients because it s free software. Login to the following FTP Server: (this info will be given to you on request) PRIMARY FTP SVR: FTP SERVER # Port: or 21 Username: Call PACTV MCR if you don t know your username Password: Call PACTV MCR if you don t know your password EMERGENCY FTP SVR: In case FTP Servers #1 or #2 are not accessible please use the following backup FTP Server: Backup FTP Server: Port: Username: *** Password: *** Directory: /array1/backupftpsvr Please drop your files in the BACKUPFTPSVR Folder. The file upload can take a while if you are using a 3G wireless internet connection. You can upload via ATT at a maximum speed of 800 kbits (as of present this keeps getting better as wireless networks grow). It can take 5 to 6 minutes to upload 1 minute of video. Some 3G networks will only allow 216 to 400 kbits upload speed. You should run a speedtest ( to confirm your upload speed or check with your network provider for maximum upload speeds. Note: It is possible to install a 3G router in your car with a window mount antenna ( This is a good idea because you will get a more stable connection to the wireless network and thus giving you a better chance to maintain good upload speeds. When done Uploading Video: Call PACTV MCR to verify that we have received your file and if you have any special airtime instructions. 8/19/ PACTV FTP POOL ACCESS Page 3
