Super Hi-Vision Trials Day One with The Charlatans

A few weeks ago we told you about the trials we ran in TC0 to inaugurate our new production research facility.Ìý We've finally managed to polish off the videos detailing the activities of these events, and present you first of all with a short film outlining the events of the 29th of September, when we hosted the 6 Music Live session of the Charlatans.

Over this week we'll have another film outlining the second day's trials and detailing the advanced 3D work that the new facility is primarily focussed on at the moment, and we'll also have a short piece from Andrew Mason describing the sound production chain we had installed to support the live gig. In a few more weeks we'll have a film that gives a complete overview of the recomissioning process for TC0. For now though, enjoy the band!

I would rather that R&D concentrated on technology that the 91Èȱ¬ will be able to deliver in the future.
One main concern here is that the 91Èȱ¬ is developing 3D to deliver to foriegn broadcasters but depriving the licence payer of 3D.
It might have escaped the attention of 91Èȱ¬ management that a 3D channel is already available in the UK and seems to be delivering more 3D than the 91Èȱ¬ is HD.

The 400mbs is based on tiling the whole picture into 16 parallel mpeg4 hd streams- and is fairly complex! The camera requires very high light levels generally, so on the trial we didn't push varied levels.
Higher frame rates are a potential route for further research. Current plans are for more similar test transmissions to dedicated viewing installations, and full programmes in this format are years away, in the UK at least.
In context- this is long lead strategic research. We'd been working on HD for almost 20years before it hit the shops, and this is perhaps equivalent to our 1250 line HD work of the early 1990s.

In these server based days how does this compare for complexity to ganging up a set of D1 VTRs in the days of 1250 research?
I remember arriving at work in Soho one weekend to find the D1s I was expecting to use had disappeared. I thought they had been stolen until I found out the 91Èȱ¬ had borrowed them!
