[Avid-L2] Video file format for TV stations worldwide

 

We are helping our parent company setting up a web based platform for
distributing B-roll footage to TV stations worldwide. The user target
group is journalists. Our production format in 1080i 25fps.
The idea is to upload a single high definition video file to the system
and then have it generate various compressions on the fly targeted at
different requirements.
However, we want the system to be user friendly for the journalist by
limiting their download choices to two variabilities:
* HD or SD resolution
* European or US frame rate
For HD in Europe we have found the EBU recommendation of 720p/50 with
H.264/AVC encoding. We envision a data rate of ~ 10mbit/s.
This could become source for the other formats.
Any comments to that?
Would your recommend a similar format for US? Which framerate?
Which format would you recommend for SD resolution in Europe and in the
US - DV, DVCPRO?

Thank you for your advice!

Best regards
