williamsvoice 0 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Seems like a bit of technical issues on the part of KYW and WPSG related to the move. The SD feeds on both channels are extremely zoomed-in versions of the HD feeds so there's quite a bit of overscanning. And that's happening as I speak with the NCAA hoops game. The scoreline is virtually non-existant. Sharp as hell picture for us SD folks, but no scorebug. EDIT: ElliotJones beat me to it...so here have a Charlie Gibson.

Jess 1110 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I actually think the SD picture looks like complete shit on a regular TV... and for some reason the HD feed is off as well (all 4x3 content is being stretched and zoomed - so it looks UBER-zoomed on a 4x3 SDTV) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElliotJones 52 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 9:48, problem solved, but the picture looks very bright (may just be my TV) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamsvoice 0 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Alas, it's fixed! Maybe someone notified the station (see also MAY, JULIUS) or someone from the station we know was hearing our complaints. Anyway, I kinda thought it was fitting, the oversized screen which matches the oversized ego of Billy Packer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AutisticPsycho 0 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 So I partake this is the old studios that I got a couple quick shots of while in a one hour stopover in Philly on Friday. As of 6:30 this evening, yes. RIP 5th and Market Wow, talk about lucky timing on my part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bars-n-tone 35 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 The set looks like it was designed by Black Walnut, which is odd considering CBS has had a long relationship with BDI when it comes to its O&O and network news sets. Correct. Black Walnut handled the project. Personally, I was tired of the BDI. They keep using the same elements, just shuffled around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WCAUTVNBC10 408 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 The quality is crap trust me. And is it me or does it look like 3 went and called FOX and asked them to ship down a can of set for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdrtv 0 Posted April 3, 2007 Author Share Posted April 3, 2007 Wow, very nice. I think the set beats FOX & WPVI. But the graphics come second to FOX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digidan 0 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I'm kinda dissapointed with this set, no WOW factor going on here. I actually like the old set better. The rest of the station is over the top, but this new set is more like lateral move than a step up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FJ2000 2 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I honestly think the average person wouldn't even notice that they were on a new set. I think it bears too many similarities to the old set. IMHO, the weather center looks exactly the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of the station is over the top, but this new set is more like lateral move than a step up. I'll go so far to say this new set is a step back for 3. It looks a little too medium market for me. And the skyline in the background looks like it was put in just to fill a hole. The cuts of music are an improvement and the graphics are okay.

I allow argee that he old set was better based on the caps. KYW shound have done what KCBS/KCAL are doing be tranporting the old set in to the new studios. Also does KYW 3 has web problems? CBS3.com has not been updated since around the 6pm newscast on April 2. Does anyone have video of the new CBS 3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoffrey 779 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Also does KYW 3 has web problems? CBS3.com has not been updated since around the 6pm newscast on April 2. Still no CBS 3 videos since then, but they added three videos from tonight's CBS Evening News. What's going on over there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

first on fox 18 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 What's up with the video section of the site? Did they forget to bring over the internet staff? Are they no longer 'always on'? AHH QUESTIONS...I NEED ANSWERS!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's going on is that they moved to a new facility with a lot of new technology. It doesn't always work 100% out of the gate. Also, they are completely changing over their video system (ingest, playback, editing, archiving, etc...). There's bound to be a little down time while the reconfiguration takes place.

Jess 1110 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 gotta ask... what's wrong with the SD feeds? The picture looks pretty bad - the picture looks a little muddy and blurry, some commercials are showing in the wrong aspect ratio (so they're overscanning), and I think there's a field rendering problem. I know it's a total move so it's a lot more complicated than if they were just going HD, but it is a serious issue IMO... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's a total move so it's a lot more complicated than if they were just going HD, but it is a serious issue IMO... Previous to the move, HD and SD commercials fed out of completely different servers. Now, it's all one box, so there is a need for HD to SD downconversion, according to what the original aspect ratio of the spot is- and there's been programming issues with doing that on the fly. I agree, the cropping issue is rather nasty looking. As for the clarity of the picture... at home, KYW has looked muddy to me for years now. (I blame Comcast for that one, because I've seen what leaves the station as it's beamed into the ether.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderJay27 27 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 So 3 down, 1 to go. When can we anticipate the last Philly station to go HD and attempt to blow us all away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susquvalleywgal 491 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 So 3 down, 1 to go. When can we anticipate the last Philly station to go HD and attempt to blow us all away? I am probably wrong here, but it's my own personal opinion: With the latest cuts by NBC/Universal, I don't see NBC10 coming back and going HD anytime soon. Only good thing about them is their news theme. In my book, CBS3 is the best station in the Philadelphia/Delaware and South Jersey area. -- Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
