Territory Codes

Overview
CPL Usage

If you have a DCP and you need to determine its territory, use this table. If you are creating a DCP and you need to know what code to use for a territory, use this table. For countries not in this table, try the IANA Subtag Registry. Country codes are based on ISO 3166-1 country codes whenever possible. Exceptions are denoted with a Tag Scope.

For generic international versions you may replace the Territory and Rating codes in the CTT with:

INT-TD to denote International Texted
INT-TL to denote International Textless

The Release Territory is listed at //Reel[1]//CompositionMetadataAsset/ReleaseTerritory^[1]^[2]

<CompositionMetadataAsset xmlns=”http://www.smpte-ra.org/schemas/429-16/2014/CPL-Metadata”>
  …
  <ReleaseTerritory>US</ReleaseTerritory>
  …
</CompositionMetadataAsset>

Permissible values for the Release Territory are governed by the scope attribute. The value of the scope attribute informs the recipient which values can be present in ReleaseTerritory. For instance, if the default value (http://www.smpte-ra.org/schemas/429-16/2014/CPL-Metadata#scope/release-territory/UNM49) is used, then only values defined in the IETF RFC 5646 Language SubtagRegistry. Future versions of the specification (or individual parties) can define additional permissible sets of values by introducing new values for the scope attribute. If a recipient finds a scope value it does not understand, it will not know what values can be present, but should nevertheless present them to the user. In other words, whereas the choice of contents for, say FullContentTitleText, is left entirely to the author, the contents of a ReleaseTerritory instance is intended to be limited to the values permitted by the controlled vocabulary identified by the value of the scope attribute. By default, these are specified by IETF RFC 5646. RFC 5646 does not allow all the territory codes listed on this page, nor does it allow INT. ↩︎
Release Territory codes should be in upper case. ↩︎

Special Exception Note: OV (Original Version) is a territory agnostic “base” package. Some studios use this as a package that can be used in many territories by applying VF files to customize to specific territories. In this case, as per ST 429-16 for ReleaseTerritory metadata: “…for generic international versions, the code 001 shall be used.”
