The graphic between the presenter and reporter in the studio in the BBC One studio (mainly used on the Ten) is projected.

There is no overlay, inlay, or CSO required on the camera shot.

The graphics are "keyed" over the background image and this composite is routed to the middle projector screen. This means that the presenter and reporter can both see the graphics for real.


It was a technique first used by the Ten during the Gulf War coverage ISTR - and pops up now and again (especially for economics stories)


it would be great if they could be bothered to use that on the six with both presenters there for the main story, or even as a side bar during the one as the one does look a bit un-interesting with the inset and the occasional screen


If it was used on the One O'clock News, wouldn't you just be replacing a real screen with a fake one?

I think the grammar is that it works better for interviews rather than "straight reads". It might work on the Six - but it would be a bit wide as a shot on the One, and un-balanced with only one presenter - it really needs two people to work as it is a symmetrical device.
