Is that even keyed out or just an overlaid graphic?

I assume putting a green graphic on the screen would be very noticeable in the reflection on the desk. Sometimes the presenters and the desk get reflections that’s to me look blue or sometimes green.


Naturally at certain angles, acrylic can have a greenish hue on reflections.


Yeah, in Reporting Scotland's old set they used to key out the red wall to use as a screen. They done a good job, but as Noggin said red hue made it's way on to the desk.

That's not what I said (or not what I meant). I meant that even without any green-screen being used in a set, acrylic can give you a nasty green tint on the desk (even when there isn't any green in the studio)

Anything that is inset into a video image is effectively keyed. An overlay done with a DVE is effectively keyed (the DVE generates a key signal - either externally or internally).

Keying doesn't have to be chroma-keying. (Most CGs output a key signal along with a fill for instance, and you can self-key if you absolutely have to...)

Oh, apologies Noggin. My bad.

I suspect that's added in by the Japanese carrier rather than BBC World News themselves.

Yeah, if it was added by the BBC it would match domestic BBC News Channel.

Haha it's been LITERALLY 10 YEARS since BBC World has rebranded to BBC World News and the editors are still getting that wrong.

Ha! Glad to see that "BBC World" lives on! I didn't like it when they added News to the end.

And since that's newsday, that strap would have gone out on BBC News (24 Wink )

Not necessarily, if somebody cared enough to make it World News only they could have.
