In Reply to: NBC's HD coverage of the Olympics sucks!! posted by DWPC on August 17, 2008 at 13:51:24:
There's the technical aspect that seems to be your complaint; there's also the programming/production angle.
China AFAIK, is a 220V 50Hz nation. And, there's the Pacific Ocean between here and there, and you aren't gonna transmit HD video on a submarine cable.
China AFAIK is PAL D; not NTSC.
NBC is *not shipping containers of NY USA equipment over there. My guess is they are simply taking a handoff feed from China TV (with hundreds of channels) and getting it over here w/ redundant backups. The NY mix center must be incredible...
Considering the upfront prep by NBC Technical and the Chinese electrical design of these facilities, (no announced power outages, AFAIK). Ever seen the screen go dark with a slide announcing "technical difficuties, please stand by"?
Considering this is a *temporary* setup, I'd say you're giving short appreciation to the hundreds of techs and support staff of NBC working around the clock to get *some signal here to the US.
OTOH, enough already with beach volleyball...
