In addition to Sky broadcasting in UHD, it's Kay Burley and Anna Botting co-presenting from 9-3.

Arena?
Because they'll be rather busy with a little football match going on up the road later the same afternoon.


Yes. I assume the FA Cup Final is UHD on BT Sport ?

Take your pick from CTV, Arena or NEP Visions..
It'll be one of those three.


Do Telegenic not have any UHD trucks?

Yes but are they not more Rugby/Football orientated? CTV/NEP are better at these kind of events.

The facilities companies don't produce the programming, they just provide the kit.

Telegenic do Dancing on Ice, and I think they have some 'non sports' gigs this year...?

It's an brand new NEP Truck for the wedding service coverage - it's still being built as we speak. Great first job eh?
London Lite, Markymark and UKnews gave kudos

Also who is coordinating everything - The BBC with ITN and Sky helping as needed? I seem to recall the feed costing six figures for non EBU members.


AIUI the BBC will be providing a host feed, with third parties buying in access to it. Sky regularly buy into the BBC's coverage, and has co-operated with helicopter sharing, ITV usually complain a bit but then also buy in.

AIUI the BBC host feed this year will be UHD HLG HDR, with Sky showing it in UHD SDR (don't think Sky support HDR yet), and given that the BBC recently tested UHD HLG HDR live-streaming on iPlayer I wouldn't bet against it being on iPlayer.

Hopefully they will be a feed at 7e I need to test out the 4k capability’s on my non sky box.


A 50mbps UHD 4:2:2 picture is the ultimate test.

Yes, but the layout and facilities on the trucks differ, and are often aligned towards production of specific sports etc.

I've built two otherwise identical trucks recently, but with very different monitoring arrangements in the ' VT' area, because the two client broadcasters have different production needs.

Agreed, but (as I'm sure you know!), none of them are going to have a truck designed for "Royal Wedding", and the production team will have far more impact on the style of programme than which truck gets booked.

Yep - but equally different production teams have working relationships with different resources providers and different truck layouts are more or less suitable for different ways of working.

We're very lucky in the UK to have Arena, CTV, NEP Visions/OBS and Telegenic who are all top notch OB providers with excellent trucks, and Timeline aren't bad either (though a small operation)

Is that a replacement for one of their burnt out ones?
