SFTV 528 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 They could put it on their subchannel. I'm not saying anything is imminent, but part of the reason they wanted a new building was so that they had "room to grow their operations". They'd be kind of stupid not to at the very least explore a way to get Telemundo in-house at KNSD. True, Entravision was kind of lenient when XETV duopoly with XDTV (My13) for a while (2005-2007) before they went back to Entravision.

rkolsen 1684 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Is it possible that the second space on the sign is for another business or possibly the NBC Universal logo? I'm not sure about the area but could they be sharing a drive way with another building.

It used to be a campus of ITT Technical Institute before being sold to KNSD and right next door is the home for the 7 iHeart Media San Diego Radio Stations which actually shares a driveway of a Life Insurance Company Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14960-knsd-new-set-like-duh/page/4/#findComment-148579 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkolsen 1684 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Turns out that backdrop is live from a restaurant called Coasterra on Harbor Island. They are credited and the end of the beoadcast. Since the backdrop monitor has a 4K vertical resolution I wonder if they're using a regular 1080i camera for the harbor view.

It pixelates quite a bit. Then there are instances where you don't know if it's live video or a skyline photo since the image will freeze. Still a nice skyline shot, nonetheless.

Still a nice skyline shot, nonetheless. I think it has to do with signal or connection during the daytime and evening shots. The FOX Sports Grill above the San Diego Hilltop Bayfront Camera, Sutro Tower Camera and Bay Bridge Toll Plaza Cameras seems to run at normal connection during daylight and during the night time it tends to "BUFFER" Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14960-knsd-new-set-like-duh/page/4/#findComment-148623 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they're using the cameras that WSI supplies and run using a simple Internet connection. Also why would a San Diego station have a Sutro Tower camera?

The Hilton Bayfront camera runs smoothly day and night, no buffering/pixelation, etc. The other camera i'm not sure where it's located and that one looks like a webcam--not the best picture quality.

The detail on the studio cams need to be cranked back a stop or two.

Most stations older beauty cams are microwave. They do freeze up and buffer, but they do look better than most the microwave cams.

WBAL launched a slew of new HD beauty cams and while they haven't frozen/buffered yet you can see the difference as they're 30 FPS. WJZ and WBAL have about two or three microwave HD cams and the difference is ten fold.

You have to change those entire units out from lens 2 transmitter, PTZ heads etc... Today I saw a CNN liveshot that was via skype...they had the double box up and it was obvious the skype shot was on a 33.6 modem and going all to hell. They took the shot anyway...and it was all shit...I thought we wanted nice HD pictures nowdays....but everyone is soo cheap they run skype. Good Grief!

rkolsen 1684 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 While I was looking to see if there were any comments from NBCU on the deaths of their employees at Pulse I noticed an article about KNSD was posted last week. A lot of it was already mentioned here but it's interesting that they have two sources of green electricity a 200 KW solar garage top and a 250KW fuel cell. Is it possible that they could be off the grid (save for the natural gas) to provide their power. http://www.nbcuniversal.com/article/nbc-7-san-diego-unveils-new-eco-friendly-headquarters Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14960-knsd-new-set-like-duh/page/4/#findComment-153214 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its a real smart move not just in this case for a television station to be "off the electrical grid" but also other places of business that can afford the initial infrastructure costs to start going towards that way (or for building management to go that way).
