No supers or lower thirds or any other watermarks are being displayed at all.

You can’t compare that since the afternoon news was coming out of Melbourne and Sydney 6pm bulletin…

Not a fan. Looks very small.
Not a fan of the wide shot with Monika. She looks tiny. Have to squint to see her

Lots of entertainment news in the Sydney bulletin tonight: The Fallon/Kimmel April Fools’ prank (that really should’ve been reported last night), more fallout from the Oscars slap, American weatherman calling his kids to warn of tornado, streaker at a basketball game, death of Estelle Harris. Disappointed they didn’t see fit to include a funny line from a Seinfeld ep in that obit. Had my fingers crossed they’d run one of the funniest lines in sitcom history: “I go out for a quart of milk , I come home, and find my son treating his body like it was an amusement park”. Alas, Nine didn’t have the balls to air it.

I guess no more Sony cameras

Vinten builds the mounting and robotic control system, not the cameras themselves.

said David Bowers, broadcast chief technology officer - Nine Network. […] “Vinten & Autoscript are global leaders in studio robotics and prompting and their solutions already have proven integration with our in-house Mosart automation system.”
Ah yes, because the members of Media Spy know just how well Mosart works 
Seriously though, it’s impressive how we’ve gone from the studio’s active camera using physical tracks when Nine’s current sets first debuted to now being fully independent and robotic in under 5 years. Kudos to the people designing this technology!

Agreed. Though Seven Melbourne have hade the robo cams since their new set. They are all their own independent robots and the studio has tracking marks on the walls for it to map them.
I was surprised when Nine went with the track system tbh.
Here is a video of the robotic pedestals in action. Don’t think they are the same as the TCN ones but the same concept.

I imagine they’d be very quiet so there’s no chance of the presenters microphones picking up any mechanical noise from the robots.

Doesn’t the ABC have something similar for their News Channel Studio.
