Sports television broadcast lighting - two hot issues

摘要

Today's high definition mega size screen in the home entertainment room perfectly suits sport as entertainment. Televised sport has taken quantum leaps in the past decade with new ground-breaking technology, the breadth of coverage and a broader more immediate access to content. The TV networks pay big money for the rights to broadcast sport -both local and international. So, too, the sponsors and advertisers. The television picture quality has to match that investment especially when the home viewer watches it in full HD widescreen flatscreen with surround sound. There are big changes happening in television picture technologies - new advanced cameras, high definition (HD), ultra high definition (UHD), super-slow and ultra-slow motion cameras, etc. These rapidly emerging technologies and production styles have a direct impact on the lighting design process and vice versa.
