BBC Washington - 2jwd - 09-04-2023
Do we have any info available on what technical infrastructure the gallery at Washington has, as when they updated the set I presume they updated the switchers etc too? Especially now Washington has more air time...

I can’t seem to copy and paste quotesHowever the article is here https://digitalvideogroup.com/projects/broadcast/network-studio-and-control-room/ and designed by ClickSpring https://www.clickspringdesign.com/portfolio/bbc-washington/ and an article from TV Technologyhttps://www.tvtechnology.com/news/dvg-installs-a-calrec-brio36-at-the-bbcs-washington-bureau?.
I know there was a Facebook post but I can’t find it that has up close pictures.

Interesting articles! Anyone notice the Twitter cushion?

They put the Twitter cushion 90 degrees out from how it should be!
Also, very strange to have the screens showing Phillipa Thomas presenting Outside Source. Presumably it was just whatever was going out on BBC World News at the time the photos were taken, but you would have thought they’d use a normal backdrop for such a thing.

I know, but those are cleary just mock-up graphics designed to show a “London view” (because the client is the BBC) and nothing more. I don’t take those too seriously!
The graphics showing off the set in the other article, though, are clearly “real” which makes it a bit odd to not bother loading up the real background template!
