Re: [Avid-L2] OT: Olympic Coverage Format?

 

Wow, the conversions do look terrific. I've only really seen artifacts on super-mo shots, and I wrote that off to the frequency of the lighting vs 60Hz TV. I guess I was wrong.

I reply:

OBS (Olympic Broadcast Services, the international company that provides technical facilities & oversight for all Olympics) uses 1080i/50 as the originating format.  NBC's remote units at the sports venues also originate in 1080i/50.  NBC then converts to 1080i/60 at their IBC facility using Snell Alchemist hardware.  Yes, it's very good conversion:  <http://www.tvtechnology.com/file-based-production/0189/nbc-olympics-to-use-snell-alchemist-standards-converters-in-sochi/223538>
