[Tech1] Coronation sound coverage

[Alasdair Lawrance]

We watched nearly all of it on iPlayer from an Apple TV to HDMI splitter and to Quad  Vena and KEF 104s, and didn't detect any dropout.

The B&O Play tells me its HD from the Apple, but I can't tell if that's what I'm seeing, is it being fiddled with in the the TV?  And is that what the Apple is producing? (the only other option on the caption on screen is 'CC'. No idea what that means).

All in all a fine performance from all concerned, although it's difficult to take a duff shot of stuff like this.
Sound excellent, too, and like everyone else I appreciated the continuity of all tha bands playing when there was a shot change.

Bouquets  to all concerned, anyway.

  Shot of the show?  That overhead shot of the transept in the Abbey - truly breathtaking, quite magnificent.

Noticed the glitches but thought it was down to my end! Better to know it was a TX problem, but sad to realise today's lack of quality monitoring.

But our daughter did say that she had tried HD before we arrived and gave up on it because of break-up, which she attributed to the weather which she says often makes their HD suffer.

Did I get it right: the band masters(?) & drummers for all the bands were all on the same cue track? That meant whoever was doing the sound could mix between bands without a change of rhythm; a big improvement on the usual overlapping drum beats. As for the stuff on the back lawn: excellent. The "3 cheers" was spectacular & moving. Terrific coverage. Very well done. Anyone know who did it?
