- (a) A simulcasting licensee that simulcasts races conducted by the licensee acts as a sending racetrack on the dates the races or program are conducted and simulcast.
- (b) Each sending racetrack shall be responsible for the content of the simulcast and shall use all reasonable efforts to present a simulcast which offers the viewers an exemplary depiction of the performance, continuity of programming between racing events, and, if it is also acting at the host facility for a combined wagering pool, a periodic display of wagering information.
- (c) Each sending racetrack shall provide transmission equipment of acceptable broadcast quality that does not interfere with the closed-circuit television system of the receiving location.
- (d) The commission may require a simulcasting licensee to scramble its signal. If so required, each simulcast shall be encrypted using a time displacement decoding algorithm encryption system or an equivalent encryption system approved by the commission.
(e) Unless otherwise permitted by the commission, each simulcast must contain in its video content:
- (1) the date;
- (2) a digital display of the actual time of day at the sending racetrack;
- (3) the name of the sending racetrack;
- (4) the number of the race being displayed; and
- (5) any other relevant information available to patrons at the host racetrack.
- (f) Before the beginning of the transmission of the first simulcast race or program of each day, each sending racetrack shall initiate a test program of its transmitter, encryption equipment and data communication to ensure proper operation of the system. If a test program run under this subsection is unsuccessful or indicates a malfunction of any component of the sending racetrack's system, the simulcasting licensee shall not transmit any races until a successful test program is completed.
