Test patterns often have a moving element so you know the feed hasn’t frozen. The new Gravity Media truck at the MET Expo had different bouncing icons on different test pattern screens - snowman, soccer ball, etc.
Not a great photo, but you can kinda see some of the icons:
I believe the snowman test card is generated by SONY CCUs.
You can also pick a whale, and other icons.
Did this go out before a local opt (ABC News Darwin or similar)? I’m just wondering why an in-line from Darwin would go out on the network feed? I assume ABC is single feed with local opt-ins?
It looks like the Darwin studio wasn’t switched for the news update and instead they had the wrong source selected.
Cincinnati Open video feeds during Tuesday’s power outage.
The ATP feed would later put up some pre-recorded B-roll like this.
I remember someone telling me that the local ABC test patterns were only shown on weekends.
I don’t recall ever seeing one for mine
Seen for a few minutes (timer counting up) on Seven Regional WA transitioning between the 5:30 and 6pm News and during the 6pm news 15/8/25.
Out of Interest, how many control rooms do they have at 7 Canberra?.
2
Nah, let people call that number! 
Yes. It’s a common courtesy.
Proudly airing on the international feed (not domestically), this was seen in AET of St. Pauli vs Dortmund match.
It first showed up when AET started and ended just before AET ended.

Would one control room be used for the eastern states while the other is used for Western Australia.
