[Tech1] BBC News

[Mike Giles]

Having watched the 10 o’clock again this evening, armed with inside information, thank you chaps, I still think it looks as though it’s VR, (even though I know it isn’t), and too full of its own importance - under-chromad (?) and over expended! KISS!

I assumed they would be all robotic cameras (as I think it was before) but it’s better not to see them or the rails in shot. Are they still controlled but an operator, Radamec see-and-select style in the gallery or is it all run by computer now?

I too wondered if it was VR but don’t know. I didn’t like the lighting or the increase in colour temperature which did Huw no favours,
