Holby City puts HD into operation
Article Abstract:
The BBC carried out a test on 'Holby City' to gauge the benefits of shooting the show on high-definition (HD) video instead of Digital Betacam video. The producers and the technology team found that the cost is just marginally more per episode, fiber cable can be up to 1 kilometer long, while copper cable goes up to only 100 meters, and everybody is now looking at the fiber option as it replaces up to nine cables and is immune from interference.
