Paris-Nice widescreen?
Hi All,
I just watched the prologue on Eurosport. It looks like the feed is in 16:9 but Eurosport has cropped it to 4:3. Does anyone know if Eurosport broadcasts in 16:9 on some other freq? I just got a 16:9 tv and it's a ****er not being able to see the split times! Or are there non-coded transmissions from French tv? What sat? Joseph |

The camera guys on the motos set their cameras to 16:9 (after reading the camera manual in the hotel room the night before and thinking it would look cool). But they are too stupid to realize 16:9 in most cameras is really just 4:3 that is just cropped more (it's not true 16:9). This would cause people with 4:3 television sets to see a screen with thick black borders at the top and bottom. So some producer in the control room who himself isn't any brighter than the camera guys on the motos decides they don't want that, so they crop the already cropped 16:9 back to 4:3, losing yet even more information. Magilla It was the on-screen graphics with timing and rider info that are cropped. So I think the feed from French TV is wide (moto and control room), but the Eurosport clowns crop it. But there was also some quite pixelated action from some of the motos, so who knows what is going on. Joseph |
