  • BBC News studio

    From MB@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jun 13 22:04:12 2022
    The new BBC News studio was shown off on The One Show tonight.

    They kept talking about it being "in the basement".

    It looked very impressive and expensive. Considering the shape, I
    suppose it would have looked really good on a large-screen curved TV.
    Whatever happened to those?...

    Are you sure it exists? Could it not be an empty room and computer
    generated graphics? I remember hearing a tale (apocryphal perhaps)
    about a senior executive questioning health and safety issues of
    having a glass screen in the studio, only to be told that the glass
    screen did not exist.

    It does. It's mostly real.

    Huw Edwards had to keep warning Alex Jones to not trip over things so
    they were real.

    A saw a Tweet from someone at GBNEWS moaning about the BBC spending
    money! Someone else will probably moan about them not having the latest
    toys.

    people realised that they were in fact worse, not better and stopped
    buying them.

    Time to start worrying then when the goldfish obscure the picture as it
    floods?

    Actually investing for the future is good. It can cost a lot more to try to play catch up after you have built your system. I guess it depends on what
    you think is important. I mean you can run a tv studio on mobile phones if
    you really want to.

    Bit of a gimmick. Bit like 3D TVs whish were really a botched up old idea, many yearsahead of the actual believable product.
    Incidentally, anyone seen Abba Voyage show yet, How good is the illusion?

    There are still a few about. The really big ones. I imagine in the home
    though the amount they jut outfrom the wall at the corners is somewhat inconvenient. Bent screens attempt to duplicate cinema screens as many of
    those were that sort of shape to increase the brightness, but unless the picture was deliberately distorted they looked a bit odd as I recall when I could see them.
    I also recall the big video projectors you tended to see in the hotels at
    Hi If Shows plugging products. They were nearly all curved projection
    devices.

    They were only really popular with people living in windmills or
    lighthouses.

    Not seen the above as yet. However for some time now BBC Scotland have
    been using a computer-graphic 'walled and furnished room' for some
    broadcasts. Walls with screens, etc, can appear and disappear as the
    programme changes topic. Other - more distant walls - seem to be real. But cannae be sure as I've never been to the place.

    Or certain broadcast centres or government listening buildings.
