This is the Japan TV specification for Japanese advertisers sending ads to TV destinations in Japan. Files made to this spec can also be sent to digital destinations. If you are sending an ad into Japan from outside the country, use the Japan specification for senders outside Japan.
If you are not sure which specification to use, you can check the exact specification for your ad in Cape Advanced TV (see Which technical specification should I use for my ad?).
