7 gone digital yet?

7

When they have shots of the satellite center where all the tape decks are, you can see all the big beta tapes and some much smaller yellow things stacked near them. I assume these have something to do with them going digital?

Which also brings me to the question – is anyone familiar with plans for the local stations to actually broadcast news in a true 720p or 1080i format and maybe 16:9? I know 7’s cameras are 16:9 ready because they used to put black bars on each side and had gaps where you could see a little bit at the very end.

  1. The yellow tapes are Beta SX tapes. They’re digital. The photographers and a majority of the news operations switched from Beta SP to Beta SX in Fall 2003.

  2. MR. GET A LIFE,

    Apparently you have way too much time too, I mean after all, you are posting a derogatory post on a blog you clearly waste your all-important time reading. Don’t you have a meeting to go to?

  3. I just think it’s funny how trolls are so quick to judge people who spend their time discussing things they’re interested in. Sounds like Mr Get a Life needs a hobby. But, in all fairness, maybe picking on harmless people IS what he’s interested in?

    Sorry, my two cents. Carry on… 😉
