natxp2006 Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 I saw a new ad for AFL in HD on Ten (something about a 'digital revolution') with all the AFL footage the voiceover guy was doing the whole 'the game has never looked so good' and out of nowhere came something about being avaliable in DD5.1. Did anybody else see this ad?
des Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 Yeah i seen it a few time today was on just before Neighbours.
abdelrm Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 What the... DD5.1 for sport another sport broadcasting first in Australia. good on you ten. trying to outbeat seven's future 1080i AFL. we will probably be able to hear DD5.1 movies and tv shows, hopefully

DD5.1 for sport another sport broadcasting first in Australia. good on you ten. trying to outbeat seven's future 1080i AFL.we will probably be able to hear DD5.1 movies and tv shows, hopefully seven's future 1080i AFL???? willing to bet it won't happen this year
abdelrm Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 seven's future 1080i AFL????willing to bet it won't happen this year Prime is going proper HD some time next week as discussed Prime HD Full 1080i one can only assume and hope it will happen with Seven.
Crowley Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 Prime is going proper HD some time next week as discussed Prime HD Full 1080i one can only assume and hope it will happen with Seven. not with the AFL, 10 are only doing a few games in HD, seven will turn off the HD channel and up the bit rate on SD as they have with the V8's. besides as other more qualified people on this forum will tell you AFL in HD on seven with a low bitrate will not be very nice. 10 use stat mux so they have more to play with. I could be very wrong but just cant see 7 doing the AFL in HD.
abdelrm Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 I understand the fact that seven's HD of AFL won't be that good but at least it is heading in the right direction and I also know that HD AFL won't be on for every game on TEN and Seven.

I could be very wrong but just cant see 7 doing the AFL in HD. Ten are doing 27 out of 49 games in HD... so that's more than 50% There were rumors that 7 were going to suprise us and do HD AFL this year, and I still think there's a chance it might happen - at the very least I think it will happen in time to get the 2008 grand final in HD.

Adam BK Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 Wow that is absolutely fantastic news, I have never seen sport in HD and neither 5.1. The game itself alone looks like it will be a beauty and HD and 5.1! Probably as excited to see this as the crows game live @ footy park.
LBM Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 I don't care about AFL in HD, this just means that Ten will do 5.1 movies... then again, with that ugly watermark I will pass. Next...
wheelz Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 Channel do not broadcast 5.1 only dd2.0,mind you i havent seen the ad but all there HD movies have been 2.0
anthonysimilion Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 Channel do not broadcast 5.1 only dd2.0,mind you i havent seen the ad but all there HD movies have been 2.0 Keep in mind, TEN are putting/have put in new playout systems for HD.
Hosko Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 Well yesterday Gearhouse launched their HD/SD truck, and Gearhouse has the contract to exclusively supply equipment for all of Network 7's OB's. It uses Sony HDC-1500 HD cameras, a Sony MVS-8000 series vision switcher, with EVS HD XT2's in the tape area. Here is a link about the launch yesterday So you never know when 7 will broadcast the AFL in HD.
abdelrm Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 Well I have finally seen the ad for myself (just before ten new: late ) and it looks very exciting, can't wait, will the DD5.1 start this saturday with Syd vs. WCE?

Hosko Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 Hosko does that mean the game will have to be in Sydney if they decide to do AFL in HD!cheers laurie This is one of the trucks that 7 will use for the AFL all season. The AFL contract was the reason Gearhouse was able to build it. It was only in Sydney for the launch. Having said that there is a difference between using a truck that is available and making sure that one truck is at every friday night match, the later would cost 7 more.

Gremlin Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 I hope the regional stations pick up this game in HD. Down here in Tassie we get the game on two stations - Live on Southern Cross at 7pm and Delayed on TDT at 7:30pm. I'm guessing that the game will only be in HD on TDT. If that is the case, i'm torn on what I should do - watch the game live in SD or delayed in HD?
GoForMoe Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 I saw it, and I will upload it this afternoon in HD quality I would imagine the ad itself is SD. Why would TDT delay it half an hour, Ten Melbourne is taking it live at 7, doesn't TDT usually follow the Melbourne schedule?

They are supposed to be a seven station.
normangerman Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 I would imagine the ad itself is SD. I have to double check, but might have been HD. They've shown a HD promo before earlier this year.
Gremlin Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 Why would TDT delay it half an hour, Ten Melbourne is taking it live at 7, doesn't TDT usually follow the Melbourne schedule? TDT normally switch over to Ten Sydney on Saturdays nights during the footy season. The game is on at 7:30pm because Sydney are playing, next weeks game will be on 10:30pm.
