Two New sources:

- This PDF links to a production standard document for transmission delivery from TVNZ, which uses BLITS for surround lineup and refers to the standard layout in appendix 4 (P17).

- Document from RTW noting the addition of BLITS to their professional monitoring equipment, and stating that "this sequence has gained widespread adoption in international broadcasting."
