TIMECODE OF FIRST FRAME
Due to a new delivery workflow and regionalised advertising streams, all content delivered for DAZN needs the time code of the first frame to be 00:00:00:00. This is a technical requirement of the AWS S3 server hosted by M2A, which is used for the DCI workflows.
As this is automatically checked, any deviation from 00:00:00:00 will immediately reject the asset.
DAZN Audio Requirements
All file deliveries need to meet the following criteria for DAZN TX:-
All DAZN video content should have embedded audio that follows the specification of EBU-R128.
Integral Loudness: -23LUFS ±0.5LU
True Peak: -1dBFS
Loudness Range: 18LU
When Music/Ambience is mixed with dialogue, the dialogue should be clear and distinguishable over the audio bed below.
No more than 2 Seconds of continuous black frames
