What's Titan HD and Evertz? Also, wouldn't projectors produce a lesser quality since they would cause a shadow of the OCM's?

The projection comes from behind the screen, so there's no problem. If you tune into ESPN, you can see the technology in place on two of their sets. The SportsCenter set uses a two-sided video "column" that has a total of four rear-projection screens (stacked in two layers), and they have another set that has a huge projection screen akin to what you might find on TWC.

Here's a picture of the SportsCenter "column" turned off:

The following photos show the huge HD projector that I speak of...

This should be interesting.

I am excited for TWC to ring in High Definition.

I really wish we could get a sneak peak at the new studio, you know?

I'll see if I can get some pictures, no guarantees!
