NAB 2008 - CBS TO PRESENT "SURVIVOR" IN HIGH DEFINITION
Straight out of NAB, the Futon Critic is reporting that CBS will begin shooting their highly popular TV series "SURVIVOR" in High Definition utilizing Sony's XDCam technology.Sony and CBS have joined forces to bring the ground-breaking reality
series SURVIVOR to high definition. Sony XDCAM HDTM Professional DiscTM
system will be used to shoot the upcoming 17th edition of CBS's
SURVIVOR in high definition, with production scheduled to begin this
summer and the premiere episode debuting in the fall. "Sony's XDCAM HD system will start a new era for
SURVIVOR," said Mark Burnett, executive producer of SURVIVOR. "The
camcorder brings the exotic locales to life brilliantly, creating an
immediacy that draws viewers right into the frame. This is something
we'd been looking to do for some time, and now it has become a
reality."
The XDCAM HD camcorders and decks to be deployed
are a direct replacement for Sony Digital Betacam equipment used to
craft the series' groundbreaking style since its premiere. The Sony
XDCAM HD solution is immediately familiar to camera operators and line
producers, but offers far more than an upgrade from SD to HD
resolution. The optical-disc-based HD workflow introduces new
innovation and efficiency that addresses the unique needs of reality
TV's unscripted programming.
