playout format

Without knowing what might come after the colon it's difficult to be sure. But one item I would expect to see in that list - and which isn't otherwise there - is the format of the video-tape or other recording medium from which the programme is played out over the air, often known as the 'playout format'.

e.g.:
Support antenne / Playout format: NTSC 525/60
