Video Recording
A “Commercial Recording” is any recording made for the purpose of sale, broadcast, exhibition or any activity resulting in financial gain for the owner of the recording. A Recording Agreement must be negotiated with the House and a recording fee is usually payable. In addition a Recording / Broadcast Allowance (RBA) is payable to technical staff working on the event.
An “Archival Recording” is a recording made for the sole purpose of documenting technical and performance aspects of a production. Archival Recordings are exclusively for the use of those creative and management employees directly associated with a Company, Artist or the House. Archival Recordings are not intended to create a direct commercial benefit for the owner of the recording, and are not to be used for broadcast, exhibition, distribution or sale in any form. For all Archival Recordings application should be made to the House for waiver of any RBA payments.
Standard format is DVD. Any special requirements should be discussed with your Account Manager. Broadcast standard recordings can be arranged.
