The BBC sees high definition television as the future for programme delivery. With this in mind, HD is the standard delivery format for all new BBC network commissions, and from April 2011, they will expect all network programmes to be delivered in High Definition.
Minimum Camera Requirements
Cameras usually have a minimum of 3x1/2” sensors or 1x1” and a recording format of a minimum of 50Mbs inter-frame or 100Mbs intra-frame.
You can find the EBU HD Camera Recommendations on the EBU Technical Website.
