Question re. OOD court looking bad on TV for the WVU game.
« on: January 20, 2014, 08:19:59 PM »
When watching the replay of the KSU v. WVU game on TV (HD), I noticed that the same oddness of the picture that I saw while watching on watchESPN earlier was still there. Basically, it was the cameras very clearly picking up the differences in the stain on the court.  This is not the difference between the area inside the 3-point line and elsewhere, but in the difference between individual pieces of wood in the lighter areas of the court. It made the whole picture (court, players) seem kind of off and distorted. 

I've never noticed it before.  Is this common or perhaps just the effect of the cameras and setup at that game?  Sorry if luked (prob is).

I noticed the same thing watching live yesterday. The court almost flickers.

I noticed the same thing during the game.  But I think it was the camera because that's the first time I've seen it.  I record every game and put it on YouTube and it was very noticeable when they switched to other cameras.

Yes.

Looked at some of your other games and didn't see it.  Hopefully just that day's broadcast setup, and they will correct it going forward.

It's probably the camera, but we should go ahead and remove the ugly stain inside the perimeter, too, just in case.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

Watched the replay on an ipad and it was very noticible.

Everything was very yellow-y as well. Pretty weird. Don't think I've seen an HD broadcast look that bad at Bramlage before.

It had to be the main camera, because any shot down on the court or from another camera looked as it should. But yeah, it really picked up the wood grain in the court way, way too much. I'd agree it made the court looked like it flickered (to me it shimmered like the court was reflecting light off little waves yellow and brown water, but maybe it was because we were playing WV and they have had issues with that recently).

I thought I had a bad stream every time it went to the main camera. It looked snowy like an old tube tv with a poor signal.

It also had to do with the terrible video compression because it was a BIG 12 broadcast...

This might actually deserve it's own thread, and it's probably already been covered. But since it came from the announcer on color, did anyone else hear Stephan Howard say a player came through the lane "un-molested" on Saturday, then there was about 30 seconds of dead silence from both him and Wow Armstrong?

This is now permanently in my basketball vocab.

missed it, but wouldn't have thought twice about it... unmolested is fairly common in everyday language

Also extremely common in basketball language.
