Anyone else see a (old) C4 ident in the making in that first cap?

That's just a combination of a camera, a balcony, a blue transparent screen and a pillar.

Was there any reason why the BBC News at Six used a recorded newsroom trundle cam shot this evening? You could tell it was recorded as someone was sitting at the studio desk as the camera zoomed towards studio E, but when they cut to the studio shot George was standing at the cat walk.

Newsnight has just signed off saying they'll be more on the developing story in France on the News Channel, meanwhile the NC almost simultaneously has just started showing a repeat of Newsnight precluding any updates from France being broadcast.

To be fair, it's caught out the French news channels except BFMTV who are live but discussing the primary debate. LCI have it at the bottom of the screen while repeating tonight's TF1/France 2 Primary debate. i>TELE with staff shortages are in pre-recorded programming.

Just watched back the shot and it actually isn't recorded, if you watch the mini screens next to computers in the newsroom they show the titles forming with the 6 as little live relay. The person you think sitting at the desk is actually just a studio camera thats confusing your mind to make it look like someone is in the seat. Plus Reeta is sat in the newsroom prepping for the 10.

How are the feeds distributed in house to those TVs on the desk? Is there an inhouse cable system or are they IP based?

I think it's called Ringmain and it has a selection of outside sources you can choose to display on each screen (by using a small grey box plugged into the monitor)

Ringmain I thought was an internal channel showing announcements.

Does anyone have details of the STB?

Edit : Here's the box I'm talking about underneath the TV. Additionally who makes what appears to be an intercom solution untderneath the monitor:



Additionally what's the manufacture of the product with the green LEDs and the microphones.





I ask because the products and manufactures are different in the US than the U.K..
