What cameras are Southampton using it’s got done weird edge definition going on and the moire on the screens is even more obvious, presumably as the cameras are too close ? Also I noticed the top part seems to be a more simplified version of the top rim compared to the other regions and studio b.

Do you mean Tunbridge Wells, not Southampton?

Some posters have come to the conclusion that because two temporary sets are making the rounds, that there are two separate teams doing the work. I suspect this is unlikely to be the case - put simply, the people building the videowalls are not going to be the same people who are training and helping the local teams integrate the new sets into their programmes - these are two distinct parts to the process, and two distinct skill sets, of getting the new sets on air.

The facility upgrades required for HD broadcasting will be a major undertaking for each site, far more complicated and disruptive than changing the sets around. Furthermore, the amount of work will vary quite considerably - a small, relatively modern facility like Hull will probably require little infrastructure changes and just need new equipment fitting to the existing spaces; while for an older, larger site like Southampton it may end up easier to rip everything out and start from scratch. These works will have significant planning and implementation stages, and this work won't be being done by the set fitters. It's worth remembering that you need to upgrade far more than just the cameras to start outputting in HD.

Southampton has already had the HD upgrade some time ago
