Talk:High Definition broadcasting

LAS VEGAS (NAB Booth #SU906) April 13, 2008 – Sesame Workshop’s Sesame Street program has converted to high-definition production using Sony HD broadcast cameras and switchers.

According to Parente, the Sony cameras will be used for Sesame Street’s studio and “field” segments.

According to Frank Lanzer, NEP’s head engineer at Kaufman, “As production companies look to create more HD content, the need for HD-capable production facilities has grown. Projects ranging from a small HD shoot to a large multi-stage production with highly specialized needs can be easily accommodated within the Kaufman Studios complex.” He added that Kaufman is the first independent studio – outside of the four major networks – to have permanent high-definition production capabilities.
