Delivering Broadcast Material to Nelonen Media via Aspera or alternatives (for international operators)
Media Tailor provides material and playout services for Nelonen Media. We are responsible for receiving and processing all program content, as well as managing its distribution across Nelonen Media’s channels.
For any questions related to copyrights, broadcast schedules, or program content, please contact Nelonen Media directly.
Main delivery method for Nelonen Media is Aspera P2P. For credentials contact materialservices@mediatailor.fi. In case you are unable for Aspera, please provide credentials to your delivery portal (i.e. Media Shuttle).
Delivered files must be the final broadcast versions, with no further changes allowed after delivery.
It is highly recommended to deliver all materials according to Sanoma’s technical standards. However, if you are not able to deliver up to our spec we accept other file types as long as the file is with frame rate 25p/50i and includes stereo mix. For technical reasons we support 5.1 audio only for UHD content. If you are delivering Finnish dubbing the audio should be embedded into the video file.
Supporting Materials
Please also provide a complete list of episodes, running order, scripts and music cue sheets via your publicity site or using other delivery methods. If you are delivering Finnish dubbings please also deliver a list of Finnish episode titles via email to materialservices@mediatailor.fi.
Technical test
When delivering material for the first time to Nelonen Media, it's highly recommended to send a test video file first. Test file delivery can be coordinated with materialservices@mediatailor.fi.
Subtitles
In case of delivering subtitles, please contact materialservices@mediatailor.fi for instructions.
