Thanks for clarifying.

It was trying to recall an interview from a Broadcast years ago, so dredging the old memory sandbanks where always going bring up one or two incorrect artefacts.

At least I got the bit about extra beams for the lighting right!

I'll be interested to see how far they've tweaked titles/set/features. A London version of their LA backdrop would look great.


Good news!

Just started on Sky 1… began with Corden giving a speech outside about the London attacks and democracy.

Seems this sketch with Ben Kingsley has been filmed at 30fps with the studio and intro at 25fps. Reminds me of when Carpool Karaoke was on Comic Relief and had motion judder issues.

Got to love how the passersby seem totally nonplussed by what they're seeing.

Was that a Sky 1 only link at the end?

Yeah I assume they filmed separate endings?

Since the move to HD, it's been a LOT easier to make shows in different frame-rates in Europe - as the image format remains the same (1920x1080 or 1280x720 - though the latter is rare outside North America - as in Europe 720p broadcasters usually run 1080i in studios and OBs)

As a result the same cameras, switchers, VTRs, CGs etc. all can now usually easily switch. It's less common in the US to be able to run at 50i, because so many displays sold in North America won't lock to 50Hz (whereas 59.94Hz compatibility is universal in Europe), so European shows made in the US usually have to shoot 59.94i and standards convert to 50i - unless they take their own flyaway gear.

(Believe it or not some TVC Studios were supposed to be 525/625 switchable in B&W - which was easier with tubed cameras than CCDs - but this was non-trivial and I'm not sure it happened in anger. Some ITV companies shot the same shows in parallel on two different sets of gear to record both a UK and US version ISTR)
UKnews, bilky asko and London Lite gave kudos

Yes, and last year most (all ?) of the European (and therefore '50Hz' based) trucks that were in Rio for the Olympics host broadcaster (and unilateral) coverage, were running at 59.94.

At least one OB company did take 60 Hz to 50 Hz mains inverters. Brazil's electrical supply is 220/380 volts but of course 60Hz, electronic kit with SMPSUs has no issues with that difference of frequency, but air con compressors and similar do (or can do)

James has also recorded a trailer for tonight's edition on Sky 1 as well.

The Carpool Karaoke special is on now and the motion judder issue is back.
