Nine News Content and Appearance (2015-Sept 2020)

Umm, no?

8k TVs have 33 million pixels.

4k TVs have 8.2 million pixels.

Full HD is 2 million pixels.

4k and 8k only refer to how many pixels are along the side of the screen - 4K has 3840 pixels horizontally and 2160 vertically while 8k is 8192 × 4320 and HD is 1920x1080. Multiply the two numbers and you get the numbers of pixels.

I have no idea what sort of screen would have 13 million pixels because that appears to be some weird size between 4K and 8K. I’m skeptical that a 13-million pixel TV exists.

Are we talking about the massive curved screen here? I remembered a post about this when Adelaide’s launched because you could see the grid lines.

@hopejr

I would say yes, you are. That’s just the way LED walls are. The dot pitch that Nine are using is actually pretty small for LED walls. I can’t remember what it is off the top of my head though. Where I work we have an 8m by 3m LED wall with a dot pitch of 2.84 mm. We only have 3 million pixels. Nine’s LED walls are maybe 12m by 1.8m, but with 13 million pixels. Much more dense than ours (and thus have a smaller dot pitch).

Edit: Actually after watching this video, Brenton says the curved screen, with all the other screens in the Adelaide studio, combines to 13 million pixels altogether.

Adelaide fringe?

What do they mean by that?

[TheEditor]

It’s the Adelaide Fringe Festival, comedy shows and the like, goes through March.

[Radiohead]

Ah thanks!

I was thinking they meant Gawler, the Hills and down past Noarlunga.

[SamSamTV]

Not much coming up

Welcome to Adelaide, where we chuck every conceivable event into one month of the year: Mad March!

Fringe Festival, Supercars, Adelaide Arts Festival, WOMAD, etc.

Nine Sydney just INTERRUPTED a commercial break to cross to the Cameron Bancroft press conference.

Same in Melbourne.

[SamSamTV]

Happened to all of the bulletins on air at the time, Adelaide showed it aswell.

Shouldn’t that be “FIRST ON STREAM OVER”

Today and Nine News unavailable on stream.

And something different for Perth:

A few presentational points of interest from tonight’s Nine News Sydney.

Firstly, yet another example of TCN shipping reporters to NBN-land when major stories happen up there (although this time it seems NBN actually used the TCN report, probably because it was Good Friday) with Tiffiny Genders reporting in Pokolbin for tonight’s lead story of the hot air balloon crash:

Secondly, Deborah Knight presented the headline recap seated tonight (I’ve mainly only seen Georgie Gardner do this before, with other presenters standing):

…and as far as I’m aware, tonight was Belinda’s first Sydney 6pm forecast since the new weather presentation style was introduced:

TBH, I still don’t think this new style of weather presentation should’ve been implemented in the Sydney market. If I was Darren Wick/Simon Hobbs, I’d be paying very close attention to the weather segment on Seven News Sydney. Seven’s additional suburban/state forecast locations could be worth looking at for the weather on Nine, along with maybe a “feels like” index which isn’t as tacky as Seven’s with the “Sydney Comfort Index” brand and the emoticons!

The studio lighting in Studio 3 is seriously bad, Amelia looks like she’s aged 20+ years in that lighting. Honestly I don’t get what was wrong with the news exchange set up, the lighting was so much better.

[Radiohead]

Reminds me of Jerry Seinfeld’s girlfriend in “The Strike” episode (where she looks beautiful one minute and ugly the next )
