qunewsguy 377 Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Could be Ignite, could be operator error. You'd be surprised how things like floating stories can throw things for a loop with systems like that.

caliwxdude 254 Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 KNTV, like the other NBC O&Os that have moved to an automated production control system, uses Ross OverDrive and not Grass Valley Ignite. NBC announced their deal with Ross back at NAB 2007.

caliwxdude 254 Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I also forgot to add that KNTV is in fact not broadcasting news in high definition as of yet, contrary to what News24/7 continually claims.

DMA 135 Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 It's not. They may have an updated control room, but that doesn't mean they're in HD. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/3964-kntvs-hd-control-apc-has-first-glitch/#findComment-36289 Share on other sites More sharing options...
News24/7 3 Posted June 28, 2008 Author Share Posted June 28, 2008 Then why are there wings on HD channel 703? im watching right now. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/3964-kntvs-hd-control-apc-has-first-glitch/#findComment-36290 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMA 135 Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Having wings filling sidebars doesn't make a newscast HD. If the studio shots and graphics aren't HD 16:9, then the newscast isn't in HD.

900FrontStreet 0 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Then why are there wings on HD channel 703? im watching right now. KNTV is not broadcasting in high-definition yet. If they are now shooting in 16:9 widescreen, "wings" serve to bridge video that was captured in 4:3 definition so it can be presented in 16:9. It does not signify that the channel is broadcasting in high-definition. If you have a HD set, or even if you don't, you should recognize the difference between a broadcast in high definition and standard definition. Is that clear?

News24/7 3 Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 Ok, i guess they are testing it in 16:9 like KRON 4, it happens ocasionaly during the todayshow breaks. Almost like KNBC Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/3964-kntvs-hd-control-apc-has-first-glitch/#findComment-36387 Share on other sites More sharing options...
900FrontStreet 0 Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Ok' date=' i guess they are testing it in 16:9 like KRON 4, it happens ocasionaly during the todayshow breaks. Almost like KNBC[/quote'] Now that comment implies that KRON is going to broadcast news in high definition, which couldn't be farther from the truth. It's destined to be sold. There's no way Young Broadcasting, on the brink of filing Chapter 11, is going to pump the nonexistent money they have into upgrading that disaster of a news operation into a HD venue. Now, as I understand, the camcorders that the VJs lug around are capable of capturing HD video. Whether that can be implemented or is possible is an entirely different issue.

There's no way Young Broadcasting, on the brink of filing Chapter 11, is going to pump the nonexistent money they have into upgrading that disaster of a news operation into a HD venue. While I couldn't agree more that KRON is a complete and total mess, they are doing news in 16:9 standard definition, which is more than I can say for KNTV. I'm pretty sure that's thanks to an "upgrade" to Ignite, however. But, to add fuel to these HD fires, KNTV's newscasts look even better now on the upconverted digital channel, especially when it comes to the graphics. Text looks extremely crisp, especially when you compare it to the crap character generator that KPIX is using during their HD newscasts.

News24/7 3 Posted July 3, 2008 Author Share Posted July 3, 2008 Layoffs, automation at NBC11 NBC11 has laid off seven people including three reporters — Noelle Walker, Danny Garza and Ethan Harp, according to TV Spy's Shop Talk. The cuts weren't as extreme as those at Channel 5 in April where long time reporters like John Lobertini, Manny Ramos, Tony Russomanno and Bill Schechner were shown the door along with a number of producers and photographers. Also leaving Channel 11 are Assignment editor Paul O'Neill, satellite truck operator John Wheeler, news exec assistant Kathy Kirtland and new media producer Jan Boyd. To cut costs, NBC11 also plans to automate its control room operation with a system that will essentially eliminate all the news technical and control room staff, with control being handled by a computer operated by one controller and one assistant. Channel 11's cameras are already robotic, but with the new system, an entire newscast will be handled by a production crew of about four people, according to TV Spy.
