Champion_R Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 Has anyone seen the "Available in High Definition" graphic at the start of HD shows on Channel Nine SD or analogue? I haven't seen it in ages although it's usually always there on HD. Nine really should be showing the "Available in High Definition" graphic on SD and analogue to help get the HD message out there and prehaps convince people thinking about HD to jump aboard knowing the shows they watch are broadcast in HD. HD should be promoted far more than it is.

Perth receives the network crossbar and so it is up to Perth or Melbourne or Brisbane PC's to put up the message themselves...

The graphic for SD on 9 is small left/bottom of screen now. HD is uncahnged as far as I know.
anthonysimilion Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 It is a little 'Available in HD' logo in the bottom left hand corner now. http://img86.exs.cx/img86/6917/nineavailableHD.png That image was captured off Nine HD Perth, and resized for smaller file size.
Santa1503559644 Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 I haven't seen in on the SD. Its pretty smart to have it only on the HD!
Champion_R Posted October 24, 2004 Author Posted October 24, 2004 I haven't seen in on the SD. Its pretty smart to have it only on the HD! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I didn't see it on Willy Wonka last night but the HD signal had the HD logo. I'd like to see some more consistancy regarding the available in HD logo. It should be on every HD program unconditionally.

Champion_R Posted October 24, 2004 Author Posted October 24, 2004 What - like a permanent watermark saying "This is in HD- enjoy!" <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Of course not. What I meant was the Available in HD graphic should be displayed on every HD program on SD and analogue without question.
Champion_R Posted October 24, 2004 Author Posted October 24, 2004 I've also been told in Adelaide on last nights Saturday night at the movies screen for Willy Wonka, they had a voiceover saying "Welcome to Nine's Saturday Family Movie, available in High Defintition". Perth gets nothing like that. Unless you were watching Willy Wonka on the HD channel there is pretty much no way of knowing that it was broadcast in HD. None of the TV magazines have WS or HD flags. Once again, Nine Adelaide prove they're the best at HD with the best promotion of HD and the best bitrates.
Santa1503559644 Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 Hell, I'd be happy if they put a "Full Definition SD" graphic up at the start of anything worthy! And, yes, champ, I was joking - though I suspect you got that! What'd be a good idea would be to have: *Graphic at start of programme on both SD & HD stating whether its available in true HD. *Graphic on all ads (promos) containing the HD and/or WS symbol where appropriate. In fact, there's no reason this wasn't mandated from the start of digital!

I'd also like to see some "Channel Nine now transmitting in 1080i High Definition" station IDs like some Fox stations are doing in the US. Ads for High Definition shows should also have HD mentioned. I'm happy that Nine Perth have steered clear of any watermarks during programs. Every other Nine station have a full time watermark and even the regionals (WIN and NBN) do.
anthonysimilion Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 Seven's got part of the idea right when it comes to HD advertising - all they need now is the actual HD broadcasting!

And yes, HD super is bottom left on SD at the start (or near the start) of all programmes avail. in HD.
Champion_R Posted November 4, 2004 Author Posted November 4, 2004 I've been told in Adelaide that Nine put HD logos on their ads for HD programs and for HD movies and special events, it will be mentioned in the voiceover that a movie is HD and/or 5.1. In Perth we're lucky to get the available in HD graphic on SD and analogue.

And, good for us folk who like to be informed. Well done Nine! Fingers crossed for Perth!
EvanOnTheGC Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 This is the "Available in HD" banner shown on Nine in Brisbane (and I assume on the other PBL stations). http://www.goldcoastguy.com/dtv/hd.jpg Evan :->

I believe it was the same banner (or it might have been "presented in high definition"). Either way, it used to be there. I see an updated one on the HD channel (but I only watch the HD channel, so I wouldn't know about the SD channel).
