Someone is going to have to explain this to me... how could you "project" black? Surely black is the lack of light, so where there's black, nothing would be projected. That would explain why those parts would be transparent - because there's no light hitting the screen.


I'll explain - it's a rather simple concept - you send a plain black field to the video input of the projector. Thus, projecting black.

Which, as you say is 'no light'. How do you describe projecting an image though? Should he have said, "project no light instead of projecting a varied mixture of primary colours that happen to construct an image?"

The pedants on this forum really do hack me off sometimes. Do they think it makes them look clever?

Ello ello ello.. Mike Embley on BBC World in N6, with a blurry World newsroom on the big screens behind him.
WM

7pm... Gosling (yawn) and Andrew Simmons as a pair in world studio. looks really strange seeing two presenters at once there! Confirms that the metre high wall is replaced by chrome bars (much more classy)

Well, that's it from TC10 - World are now from N6 with the projection of N9, just as they started 8 weeks ago. News 24 are still in N9, with Andrew Simmonds and Joanna Gosling.

Do you have captures of World in that studio?

News 24 still don't have their DOG/Clock equipment running.

I suppose Anna Jones and Chris Lowe are in the New Studio rehersing. We have a really strange combination this evening Gosling and Simmons on a Staurday night is most odd.

No tearing up of the lottery ticket tonight then Crying or Very sad

why the h*ll have they kept a variant of that metre high wall at the bottom behind the presenters... they havent on the main news... that should be disposed of in favour of a totally clear background... is there a techincal reason for its presence??? they dont have it on BBC World either ( Confused: )


When you look at other pictures more closely it appears that this isn't a 'wall' in the conventional sense....it's made of lightblocks which should look quite effective when the background is the real newsroom rather than the mock up on those press photos.

Anna has moved to weekdays. Joanna is now Chris Lowe's regular co-presenter

Joanna Gosling and Anna Jones have swapped shifts, so expect Joanna on weekend evenings from now on! Chris Lowe is still on his usual shift AFAIK.

I haven't done a capture of N6 tonight, but here's two from 8 weeks ago (it looks excatly the same tonight):

I do like that backdrop on World. It looks better than the actual real-life world backdrop. The blurry monitors looks good!
