When submitting to a broadcaster, you should check with them to ask what format they prefer. Often, the required format is:
DigiBeta
4:3 FHA (full height anamorphic)
clocked
colour bars for 1 minute, 30 sec clock, 3 sec black before the first frame of audio or video
ensure that your colourspace is legal for broadcast
One possible way of configuring your timecode:
09 57 45 00 = Black
09 58 00 00 = Bars & Tone
09 59 00 00 = Black
09 59 20 00 = 40 Second clock
09 59 57 00 = Black
10 00 00 00 = Programme Start
Plus at least 1 minute of black on end.
