<br />

<br />
From your digital editor bounce down the programme to a single 16 bit, 44.1kHz, stereo wav file.<br />
The naming of this wav file is important. It should include the Network, Title and TX date. It should<br />
not include any punctuation or spaces - use underscore to make the name readable. E.G.<br />
R2_A_Programme_120612.wav<br />
Save the programme BWAV to<br />
\\bbcmedrr006\vcs_ingester$\Radio_2\Radio_2_London_auto\R2_London_VCS_Programmes<br />
Make sure you have emailed the Pres details to Presentation-R2 (on the <strong>BBC</strong> Global Address list)<br />
cc’ing Julian Grundy, Paula Street, James Carpenter and Anna McMahon.<br />
In a few minutes, the wav file you saved will have changed to .ren. This means that the file has<br />
successfully transferred to Radio 2's VCS dira system.<br />
Contact the Radio 2 Presentation team via email (as above) or on 02 50655, 02 53112 or 02 53250<br />
to advise delivery. THIS IS CRUCIAL. They listen to the In and Out of the programme to check that<br />
they match the In and Out words on the presentation details and that the durations match. They<br />
also spot check the audio for obvious technical faults. If there are no problems, and the<br />
programme has received the required Proteus compliance sign-off, they will schedule it. The<br />
Presentation Office is staffed, Monday to Friday 1000 -1800.<br />
Failure to complete this step within 1 working day of delivering your programme can result in your<br />
programme being lost.<br />
