BBC Gets UK's First Live HD Show
Uping the ante on the HD broadcast front the BBC has announced that the remainder of their hit Saturday night show, Strictly Come Dancing, will be simulcast in HD on their HD Trial Channel.
The broadcasts will be the first time BBC Television's Studio One has been used for a live HD show since it was outfitted for HD.
The new Studio One is cabled to support up to 16 cameras, with four HD fibre optic feeds from the gallery to the studio floor. It is also equipped with a fully digital Studer Vista 8 sound desk, 5.1 sound monitoring and Dolby E encoding and decoding. Incoming standard definition sources will be up-converted to HD and output can be converted to standard definition if required.
The BBC's HD Trial is due to end in March next year and as yet no news of its extension or termination has been announced.
