NHK have been developing the next generation of television and this is the second year I've seen them demoing SHV. The pictures are breathtaking - the footage they showed of London Bridge shot from 800m away allows you to see the expression on people's faces as they cross the bridge. Given that it's sixteen times the pixel count of 1080-line TV this is one for the future - a real 'slow burner'!

Hmm - old big media are patting themselves on the back! Podcasting anyone?4:51 PM Jun 23rd from TwitterFon

Watching Red vs Sony F35 footage- the Red looks suprisingly video-like against the F35 which looks filmic. Wierd- Red is 1CCD, Sony is 3CCD!4:11 PM Jun 23rd from TwitterFon

Just seen 5mbit AVC bs BBC Dirac codec - amazing how good they both look at 1080.3:58 PM Jun 23rd from TwitterFon

Bill Whiston (BBC sound supervisor) showing how he mic'ed up and mixed the Proms last year - good stuff.3:10 PM Jun 23rd from TwitterFon

Just seen my old BBC mucker Graham Collins (now @Omneon) who tells me he's pre-sales & "Head of keeping it real"! end-to-end solutions, ha!11:53 AM Jun 23rd from TwitterFon

I didn't realise that ATSC (DVB T standard in USA) only supports MPEG2. Seems like terrestrial HD in the US will be only as good as SkyHD11:13 AM Jun 23rd from TwitterFon

HD-DVB T in France has been legally required in all TVs since Dec '08 - it's a pitty we haven't had that. New UK TVs still only have MPEG2.10:46 AM Jun 23rd from TwitterFon

Every European broadcasters' insistance that 720p is as good as 1080i reminds me of Quantel's insistance through the 90s that 8 bits is best10:11 AM Jun 23rd from TwitterFon

The 3D lobby think they can monopolise every conversation about media technology9:58 AM Jun 23rd from TwitterFon

Watching footage of U2 performing on the top of BH - shot in 1080i on the Sony EX1 and 950 - can't spot the difference!
