NBA Nightcap SVOD Delivery
During NBA on Prime coverage, the Encore C Unit clips off the entire NBA Nightcap show from the Net Return feed and delivers it as an SVOD asset to the Prime platform using the Adobe PVLS VOD Delivery export preset (1080p59.94 SDR Stereo H264 @ 30Mbps).
Eric Peters clips this show off and QC’s the file before uploading it to Aspera for final delivery.
NBA Nightcap File Naming:
All File Naming is managed on a tab within the Quip called NBA SVOD 2025-26 Matches and Identifiers and available here: https://quip-amazon.com/YOwrAi7OceLg/NBA-SVOD-2025-26-Matches-and-Identifiers#temp:C:cVd6b9849417dd640bebcc1e4ac7
The SVOD team will populate the Quip with the required filename on the SVOD 1P Deliveries tab, which is how the VOD asset must be labeled for the Aspera upload to ensure it properly goes through the automated VOD delivery pipeline. The corresponding element on the SVOD 1P Deliveries tab is always the element labeled as Clip type = Nightcap 1 in the Quip.
NBA Nightcap Communications:
Communications with the SVOD team is done through the #nba-svod-vod-asset-delivery channel on the Amazon Corp Slack. Once a file is uploaded to Aspera a message is posted on the Slack channel, with an acknowledgement from the SVOD team. The SVOD team will then post a message to confirm once the asset has gone through the automated publishing pipeline and is live on the Prime Video platform.
NBA Nightcap Thumbnails:
There is no custom thumbnail for NBA Nightcap, a generic thumbnail is used each week.
