2pm to 5pm the used the DMC and the old green screen.

Have not noticed any changes in the HD studio since they were back at 7pm except  green screen lighting on the OCMs has been dark tonight.

I noticed that as well, I think maybe they are trying to reduce the green reflection on the "work set"

If you look closely, you can see that the second TV from the left on the top row has an IS2, fwiw. The one to to the left of that is the SD sat feed.

It looks pretty nice, actually. I'm not completely sold on the wall color yet. Have to wait and see.

The blue accents and lighting really add a nice touch. It matches the HD studio main set desk much better.

That looks really nice. I cannot wait to see what else is in store for the set.

That looks amazing! I was sleeping with TWCO on in the background and heard "We're on our new expert center desk tonight" and thought I was dreaming! Nice to see it was true.  :lol:

I don't know if it has anything to do with work they might be doing to the HD studio but,
I'm noticing tonight and at times this week for some shows the graphics on the green screen are not fully keyed in.

In this still from the 10pm hour, which I believe is the green screen in the HD studio,
you can see the map is not keyed in 100% and darker since you can see through it.
Notice the seam where the floor and wall meet going through the bottom of the screen and the scuff marks on the floor.
There is also a soft edge around the OCMs.


Not sure if this is the other green screen by the DMC but Earlier in the 7pm show the map is keyed in 100% and you can't see the floor or wall.



Here is a side by side of the bad key and the good key. Are they using two different green screens areas?
