Experience with an Experimental Digital Component Video Production Facility

Chris J. Dalton, Norman W. Green

An experimental digital component video production facility has been installed at the studios of Thames Television, London. This project has been managed by the ITV Association and is the culmination of several years co-operation between the ITV Technical Development Laboratories and specialist UK manufacturers of broadcast equipments. The facility has been designed to CCIR Recommendations and is currently in use for assessing engineering operations and also studio and post-production programmes. The paper reviews the equipment and facilities offered, highlights some of the difficulties encountered during design and installation, and discusses the potential role of a digital production facility within a Broadcasting organisation.
