Minsh, the whole thing is being produced in HD but most countries are broadcasting it in SD.

I was involved in designing a couple of the OB studios' lighting and I remember reading that each game is covered by a minimum of sixteen, and a maximum of twenty four cameras, not including the visiting television "studios". In most of the vans, the Director has his choice of six feeds: Four are his choice of cameras, his final two feeds are offerings from a couple of sub-editors, one of which is just responsible for slo-mo and replays.

All the cameras are being continually recorded either on tape or, in the case of the slo-mos, hard drive. It's a good job that you're only seeing it in SD because on the HD monitors in television centre you can see that quite a few of the operators are having problems with focus.

I'm just glad that I don't "do" sport.

Sadly Alan, the Rangie bit the dust. I lost a bit on it, but that's life. AstraVan now.

Not bloody likely... It's taken me years to grovel my way this far, and it's taking a lot of arse-licking to stay here!

On the subject of dream jobs (he says as he's sat avoiding doing work), I'd love to be a steadicam op at the world cup. Now that's a job I'd be proud to casually drop into conversation (unlike my actual job of pensions anal ist).
