Oregon Public Broadcasting selects Fujinon for HD transition
Apr 12, 2004 12:00 PM
Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB) has chosen a variety of Fujinon HD
lenses for its network center facility in Portland, which is in the
process of moving to digital SD and eventually HD production for its
original programs. OPB is responsible for creating the majority of the
public television programming broadcast throughout the state, and has
upgraded most of its production equipment to enable HD acquisition and
production.
Don McKay, Oregon Public Broadcasting
director of engineering for production, shown with one of the three new
Fujinon HA26x6.7ESM HD studio lenses on a Sony HDW-F900 HDCAM
camera.
The facility, which is currently undergoing a complete conversion to
SD and HD digital operations, recently purchased three Fujinon
HA26x6.7ESM Premium HD studio lenses to complement three new Sony HD
cameras in the studio. One of the cameras and an ENG-style lens will be
mounted on a free-swinging jib to capture unique POV angles.
Don McKay, OPB director of engineering for production, said programs
captured with the Fujinon lenses are downconverted to standard
definition for analog viewers before being broadcast. OPB broadcasts 24
hours a day in analog and about five hours per day of HD content on its
digital channel.
