An Là Titles Refresh

RDJ posted:
The ‘BBC Naidheachdan’ box doesn’t really work does it.

It's a branding thing. The BBC blocks must line up for everyones titles. Despite this edict, the red box has been made bigger so Naidheachdan can still be read in the plasma and in SD. That's why the text isn't vertically centred.


they took the seachd la titles and renamed it An La basically

You've got a keen eye! Even the 1 frame glitch at the end of the White House globe seems to be the same



The whole programme needs a refresh - from titles to set. The set is AWFUL. A classic example of 'we have a small studio, so this is the best we can do'. It really isn't. They need to get a proper technical team up to Inverness to update set elements, address the stark lighting and deal with the poor picture quality. NRK Oddasat is a good example of where they should be aiming. The set is nothing special and has its issues, but it's in another league from An La.

Hello globaltraffic24!
"The set is AWFUL"... What would you suggest they do instead? Genuine question, bearing in mind the whole branding look.
"Stark lighting"... It looks properly lit? What's your concern with it?
"Poor picture quality"... It could be because it's broadcast in SD, although the the whole vision chain is HD
"Proper technical team"... I'm sure the BBC employ a good technical team in Inverness

Looking at the picture, does that studio use those old SD down the line block mini cameras that they put into the smaller regional studios many years back?

The gallery & studio were fully upgraded to HD in April 2018. They use Sony BRC-H900 cameras on the studio floor
