New Video Wall

[Donovan]

That looks really cool! I wish I had tuned in to see it. With this new wall they are starting to remind me of CNN a bit.

Looks like they did a darn good job with it!

TWC is  back in the DMC for Day Planner as they finish up the video all area.

The video all appears to be completed.
It was shown during Your Weather Today but not used. Day Planner does have segments standing at the video wall.

It would be nice if these pictures you've provided could be posted to another website so that we could see a bigger version of them (the current links are broken).  Nevertheless, I appreciate the view of what the new video wall looks like.

They work for me.  Just click on them

There must be a few bugs they are working out because they only used the video wall for the last segment during the 4pm edition of Weather Center Live and the second monitor on the bottom left was going on and off.
Kelly said they are not using it for the 7pm show.

Does anyone think they should have made the video wall bigger?  I'm sure it properly suits the functions they need it for, but when compared to the rest of the wall, it seems so small.

I like the way they did that "background" wall, though.  Nice use of lightning.

I love it, I think it's great. and with the wide shot in the studio, it's not too cluttered; much more clearer than the previous video wall!.

My two favorite parts are:
The lack of a giant, oversized black bezel around the wall (the one on the former wall was too big, IMHO)
The wonderful lighting behind the wall. Reminds me of something I'd see on FNC.

Now, if we can just get them to turn these lights on....

They do have those lights on, just not in that color. I agree, that color really adds to the shot. They should turn them that color. The entire studio for that matter.

I must say I dig the lighted tile wall behind the new video screen.

Also, do they still use the purple pillar bars during the 1am show, or do they only use the yellow and blue colors now?

Don't worry... in another couple of decades, I'm sure whole walls in TV studio will be video walls.  Just think of how the TV news has progressed over time.  A static background with no graphics gave way to rear projector screens to superimposed boxes to chroma key to TV panels.  Not all necessarily in that order after the first two, but... you get the point.

IF television as we know it is around in another couple of decades!

The video wall was used for the end of the 7pm show and at 10pm the desk has been moved so the video wall is behind it.
Not sure if this means it's in use for all shows or they are still testing it.
