By way of derogation, the resource required for the MPEG-4 broadcast of a metropolitan television service Local in high definition (HD), other than the service broadcast in Ile-de-France on the national network R1, will amount to 160 thousandths. Indeed, the diffusion of local stalls in France 3 as well as that of local television services on the national network R1 impose, outside of Ile-de-France, constraints on the multiplexing techniques used which Make the latter less effective than those implemented on the other national DTT multiplexes. These technical specificities lead to a resource of 160 thousandths of the local stalls in France 3 and local television services when they are broadcast in high definition on the national network R1.
