HDTV Conversion

Back in 2004, our television station converted to high definition. There were many people behind the scenes that made this possible. I thought I might post some pictures of the studio for those of you who have never seen our broadcasts. The following pictures are the FIRST pictures of our studio, before we actually went on the air with it.
The picture above is from the vantage point of one of our stand up positions to the right of the set. I think it's one of the nicer stand up positions. You have the set in the background with the lights and the rich colors. If we want, we can bring down the main lights on the set and just have the backlights up, with key lights on the anchor in the stand up postion. You'll also note the set is a two story set. However, it's for looks only. The upper part of the set wasn't built for someone to actually stand on.

The picture to the right is a similar picture. The vantage point of this shot is at the home base of Camera 2.

On the other side of the studio, we have an interview set. If need be, we can whip the cameras around to a completely different set and do interviews with any reporter or guest we may want to bring on the air. In this particular shot, some minor tweaking of the lights was being performed before our HD debut.
