SportsCenter set for new, hi-def look
This Monday evening, like every other evening, will bring another
episode of ESPN's SportsCenter. But this particular night will
feature a show with new graphics and a new studio that will be
broadcast with high-definition technology.
The show on June 7 at 11 p.m. ET will be the first to be aired from
the network's new 120,000-square foot Digital Center at its Bristol,
Conn. headquarters.
Among other things, the show will feature "privacy glass," fiber
optics, liquid crystal display screens and a video tower. The
broadcast will still use a two-anchor desk, but on a fiber optic
floor with 4,000 points of light synched to music. The privacy wall
sits behind the desk, with six panels of Belgium-made glass, fogged
to display images such as team logos, player headshots and graphics.
Three synchronized projectors will be used to display the images,
ESPN said.
The new Digital Center also sports an 18-foot video tower, an update
desk, interview desk and a debate desk, as well as 12 high
definition projectors and 11 liquid crystal display screens (LCDS).
"All of us involved with SportsCenter are eagerly anticipating June
7th, when technology catches up with the content of our award-
winning program," said Norby Williamson, ESPN's senior vice
president & managing editor, in a release.
