Appendix #3   Content Type and Version Number
The Content Type and Version field is the area of the Naming Convention that identifies what type of content the DCP contains -- whether it's a feature, a trailer, a short subject, etc. -- and what the version number is.  The field can contain up to 7 characters.  All content should be categorized as one of the following:
FTR = Feature      TLR = Trailer      TSR = Teaser      TST = Test    (Framing and/or color charts, etc.) RTG = Rating Tag    ("RTG" should be followed by either "-F" for feature or "-T" for trailer) SHR = Short Subject     ADV = Advertisement    All commercials, including music videos. XSN = Transitional    (Includes Digital Black for spacing as well as "Put Your 3D Glasses On Now" cards.) PSA = Public Service Announcement    (Charity trailers.) POL = Policy Trailer    ("Turn off cell phones", etc.)
It's important to add a version number after the Content Type code.  For example, feature version 2 would be "FTR-2", etc.  This is important not only for selecting the correct version, but also for matching an "OV" with a "VF" version file.  (See Appendix #8.)  The Content Type field can also be expanded to add 2D or 3D identifiers.  (See Appendix #3a.)
