Broadcast - to 60p or not 60p

I have a project i filmed in 720p60 on the HMC150 > converted to proresHQ > edit TL was same (proressHQ).

I have to crunch it to NTSC 720x480 for the network. I normally deliver in 30p or 24p.

Are the any issues with the 60p in broadcast? the specs are at my discretion.

Yes. There is no SD broadcast specs for 60p.

No, they're really not. You have to deliver something that will actually work when cued up to play to air.

Odds are the network wants 1080i60 from you. But you need to check with them first. Because I guarantee you they have a very strong opinion on the subject.

They usually want it in this same manner. Its just i have never shot a commercial using 60fps until now. They really do not broadcast in HD resolutions on this particular cable network.
Which seemed like a red flag but i didn't know why.

strypes saying there are no specs for 60p lets me know why.
I will just convert to 30p in compressor.

30p or 60i. if you shot at 60p, you may want to do 60i. 30p may look stuttery on some shots.

so just add the default 60i preset in compressor with No special recipes?

Turn on frame controls, set output fields to bottom first.
