trev57 46 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 They're not quite HD yet, but this is a huge step forward. I missed the open, but there is a new lead in for Weather Watch 12 with the upgrade. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/6839-wisn-now-169-sd/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeters 1919 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 This really looks like a quick "We really need to go 16:9 quick!" job... lots of the video is still in 4:3 and even things in 16:9 don't look like they're being shot in HD... Some caps: They had a problem with the ticker right as Sports ended: Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/6839-wisn-now-169-sd/#findComment-62165 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some caps: That definatly seems to be the case. Hopefully they will get some of the kinks worked out over time now that they have the test run in, specifically getting a new weather computer. It seemed like the current one was laboring trying to get all of Mark Baden's graphics across the screen.

ProButtonPusher 230 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 lots of the video is still in 4:3 and even things in 16:9 don't look like they're being shot in HD... Well since they're in 16:9 SD, there's not really a point of shooting things in HD. They probably don't have the infrastructure (like room on their servers) for HD footage yet, so they're probably still shooting in 720x480 Anamorphic 16:9.

milklikesubstance 11 Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Are we sure this is SD? Looks full-on HD to me... Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/6839-wisn-now-169-sd/#findComment-62285 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeters 1919 Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Are we sure this is SD? Looks full-on HD to me... It's definitely SD. Studio video doesn't fill the whole screen and is soft and grainy. Graphics are also in SD 16:9. Take a look at this and notice how the fullscreen is fuzzy while the ticker is obviously HD. Another example, look at the bug and then look at everything else. I wonder how long it will be for WDJT to start broadcasting in 16:9. Their entire operation is already HD (as in "Hardly Digital"!) :rofl!: Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/6839-wisn-now-169-sd/#findComment-62289 Share on other sites More sharing options...
