Seemed to be some minor glitching to the picture when cutting away between cameras when they went live to the camp tonight.
Yes, the cameras were not cutting in the vertical blanking period, they were consistently cutting about two thirds of the way down the active picture. It can be quite visually disturbing which I why I think I noticed it. Hopefully they will have noticed it on-site and will sort it out for tonight’s show.
There will be some surprised looking faces in the edit suite today if they are trying to edit around that particular sequence for inclusion in tonight’s show!!

I’m really surprised it’s live there’s no satellite feed or anything yet it looks like it’s coming from a few miles away.
These days there shouldn't be any difference in picture quality for something from so far away, assuming it's given enough bandwidth and not re-encoded en route.
There shouldn't be any difference between fibre and satellite, or some sort of IP solution, again as long as the latter is given enough bandwidth
Is there definitely no satellite involved?
I can tell how it used to be, two separate on-site uplink trucks to two different satellites and thence back to the UK via sat and fibre circuits going via separate paths. Pretty much as you would expect I think. Can’t speak for how they are definitively doing it today, but similar I would think? Even if it’s downlinked to a fibre terminal after the first bounce they will (must?) be separate paths back to the UK otherwise you could be facing catastrophe.
In the early days I would tell visitors that it was being produced from a disused Centre Parcs in the Midlands.

Probably not if the cameras are ISO'd
Indeed. Given the bulk of the show appeared to be OK, I’m wondering if that particular sequence is/was cut by some sort of small remote facility and fed back to the main truck? I used the know a few people on the show back in the day and could have asked - but no more.

AIUI there are two operations for I'm A Celebrity (ignoring the spin off show).
There is a main, presentation, operation that handles the live element of the show (presenters, Its etc.) and can rehearse. Then there is a second 'reality' operation that cuts the camp sequences as an independent operation. (This is a bit like the difference between the Emma Willis-fronted 'main show' and 'the house' coverage on Big Brother)
I expect the main show is cut on a vision mixer but it's possible that the reality operation is cut 'cuts only' on a router - which is also, incidentally, how EastEnders is cut. The router should be cutting in VBI - but may not be?
In the past sections were broadcast delayed to allow the presenters to change location. Noticeable with the drop of the LIVE bug. I havent seen it drop this year.

That's usually reserved for voting out later in the series, the trial vote announcements are always live.

Done so the contestant voted out has time to leave the camp and get to the studio- something that isn't needed with the trial announcements.

I assume the brief preview of Get me out of Here now is precorded to be cut in when Dec and Holly link to it?

The sudden breaks are not working - it misses the coming up after the break especially when it is when after the break it will be not be a trial or a task continuing.
