Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't this window look out in the same direction as those that were deemed unsuitable for Anti-glare-ification by the BBC before they built the Breakfast/NWT studio?
If so, then surely they are going to have major issues lighting that space at the different times of day. Especially in the morning when the sun will be coming straight into the studio, as shown in the image above.

I'm hardly an expert on studio windows but this is a reply I received on Twitter from someone in the know:
Quote:
they have a cool set up with cameras using automated polarisers and the same on the studio windows to deal with sun light.
Also they have the option not to use the window in shot at all, so they can be entirely flexible with what they choose to show/hide in shots.

Is that not what they had on Daybreak V1? and failed spectacularly.
I do wonder if there is a large screen opposite the big window, similar to the rear projection screens of the old set design so they can flip the presentation round that way?

And the article linked to below that post confirms that isn't the case.
I guess they could flip the presentation around never the less and have the newsroom backdrop. The fact the blue strip is on a different side of the wall with the plasma on on each side of the set suggests they intend to use both angles.
EDIT: The linked time lapse video below shows this is indeed the case.

The studio looks great in those pictures. Maybe they will use the window backdrop during the lighter evenings, then the newsroom in winter? I can't see them using a backdrop like last night's programme for half the year.
