Early37, Steve in Pudsey, thank you for clarification and explanation!
Speaking of moire, is there any info about the pixel pitch for the regional sets' and, specifically, Midlands set's video walls? Newscast says that for Studio B it is 2.5mm which is a little larger than one would expect.

However, for BBC Wales' new studio it might be even smaller, at 1.5 mm, which is closer to what was avaliable in 2019.

Therefore, expect most regions to have very similar animations and templates going forward after their set is updated to this designOf course, it is somewhat expected in my view for mother company to send out some nice templates for regional news uniformity, it is more of a surprise to me when this does not happen and everybody is left to do their own thing to the best of their resourses.

A lot of people thought that AR was being used in Studio B when they first saw it but it is also formed of LED panels with a high density resolution.A U.K. national set that has a lot of big videowalls did not surprise me, the technology was there several years ago. It is good that they took that much care of the regions and brought the tech there.
