Viper550 268 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 First KOMO, then KIRO, and now the Q it seems: [MEDIA=twitter]683487702746927104[/MEDIA] It'll also be interesting to see if we get a graphical overhaul too. They've had the same graphics for a while (a blue/green version of the KTLA package), but recently refreshed with 16:9 elements. I still don't think Tribune is going to force them onto their standard Fox package without some changes, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasTVNews 1366 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I have a hunch the new set is going to be built by either FX Group, BDI, or DDG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greggo 340 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 With KING/KONG moving soon, they'll likely be in the market for a new set, too. 1 market, 4 new sets in less than a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PitCleTV 9 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 This has to be a local TV-news first, right? With KING/KONG moving soon, they'll likely be in the market for a new set, too. 1 market, 4 new sets in less than a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkolsen 1679 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 The wavy ripple type pattern behind the monitor wall reminds me of the wavy portion of the KDKA temp/secondary studio set.

KSWB's 2008 refreshed set had them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eat News 4738 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 From just this bit. I can tell it might be the makings of a pretty good looking set here. I like the block glass and wood tones. Nice use of the color blue. Those round bumps on the floor and desk make sex difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbnews 344 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I actually really like the new KING set. Sure, it might not be some huge 3 million dollar studio, but it still has a very nice look and feel to it. I like the more "natural" lighting.

You don't have to spend a lot ton of money to make a nice set. It'll be dated in only a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProButtonPusher 230 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Just curious what's with the black and white diamonds on the floors? I've noticed other stations have them. Those are actually checker board type squares. They are used by robotic camera pedestals to target, which gives it an X and Y axis starting point. Each different camera shot (2-shot, close up, chroma key, etc) is saved with X and Y coordinates so the camera pedestal knows where to move when a shot is recalled. Each camera has its own target, and they all have their own shots and presets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally unrelated to KCPQ but say the main workhorse robotic camera had a failure where it wouldn't work and needed to get repaired or replaced. While the station was down the camera could they quickly and easily retarget to the broken down camera's target, shots & presets? Obviously if the problem would take time they'd hook up that camera and put it on a prdestal or tripod and use it for "light" camera work where it's not moved often. Also that panoramic photo makes it look like the center camera is cordless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
