Notes & source
- MP4 at 1280x720 with audio
- Required bit rate approximately 3000 kbps video + 128 kbps audio
- -24 LKFS loudness
- a click-through URL is required
- 100 MB maximum when TVNZ hosts the file (sent directly or via Adstream or Peach)
- For third-party hosting (ad tag or VAST redirect) TVNZ expects approximately 12-15 MB for a 30" video and 6-7 MB for 15" and 6" videos, with at least one MP4 of approximately 700 kbps
- No CAB approval needed except for vaping
- These sponsorship values differ from TVNZ+'s general video specs (1920x1080 minimum, 4-6 Mbps, up to 512 MB), so sponsorship pre-roll is its own spec (owner decision, 2 Nov 2026)
