SF brings sports programs in a new studio and in high definition
On Sunday, December 2, 2007, «Sportpanorama» will air for the first time from the new sports studio. For these three sports programs, Swiss Television converted Studio 6 into a multifunctional sports studio designed for high-definition broadcasting.
After a construction period of six months, "Sportpanorama" will go on air for the first time in the new sports studio on Sunday, December 2, 2007. For the sports programs previously broadcast decentrally from three studios, Schweizer Fernsehen converted Studio 6 into a multifunctional, high-definition sports studio. The move to the new studio also marks the completion of the overhaul of the three SF sports programs "Sportaktuell", "Sportlive" and "Sportpanorama", each with a new look. The commissioning of the new studio marks the start of the 2008 sports year for Swiss Television, according to a press release. The new studio is designed for high definition and the sound technology is prepared for the Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound standard. "Once again, sport is taking on a pioneering role at SF. With the new sports studio, we are taking a giant step into the future of television," says Urs Leutert, Head of the Sports Department. The new sports studio seats 113 viewers. The background décor consists of two HD plasma screens and an LED wall. Depending on the program, these are displayed with background images and program-specific colors. At the center of the studio is the multifunctional, white steel presentation desk.
