How much for a tv broadcast station HD camera?
a tv broadcast/station doesn't need HD cameras, (the local news room needs digital cameras). Production companies (NBC, ABC ,Universal, Time Warner, etc. ) that produce the shows,they buy the cameras. No broadcaster is converting to HD, they are converting to digital. HD and SD, weather its on film, tape, hard disc etc. Will be broadcast digitally. MOst major studios have been recording digitally for years.The most resent expense has been to the broadcasters to upgrade to systems that will allow them to broadcast the digital format. In almost all smaller markets the Network affiliates are privately owned, although the content is provided for free and so are the air-waves
How are TV programmes broadcast? What kind of technology is used in broadcasting TV programmes and advertising?
TV programs are broadcasted throught many ways , the workflow is quite simple to understand.Shoot > Ingest > Edit > Mastering > playoutA scheduling application is used to keep the commercial and programs intact. Once a schedule is prepared through this application which then shared to the playout as an XML , XLS file whichever playout understands after that the playout starts reading the playlist according to the timeband and works exactly as any video player.Which then sends the signal to satellite over a dedicated leased line that's how the flow works.I am a BMS application specialist , if you need to manage a channel please send me an email to ajitn@brightmedia.in

How long will it be before TV is broadcast in 4K?
It depends on the delivery platform. Satellite and Cable are already broadcasting in 4K (UHD) in some territories. No terrestrial broadcaster has started yet although some countries are trialling it. (New Zealand has just announced a trial).The terrestrial issue is spectrum availability. DTH (especially at Ka band ) has gallons of it. But terrestrial broadcasters are losing access to UHF bandwith because the mobile telephony companies need more and more spectrum and UHF, traditionally the preserve of broadcasters is slowly under attack from the telcos as it is very desirable spectrum, especially in rural areas.UHD broadcasting needs more spectrum per programme than HDTV even though compression techniques are constantly improving and terrestrial broadcasters prefer to utilise what bandwidth they have for multiple HD channels rather than higher quality UHD.Industry bodies like the EBU are working to define standards for better contrast ratios and colourimetry rather than just advocating more pixels. On TV screens of average dimensions you have to sit very close to see any difference between HD and 4K. Optimum viewing distance is 6x picture height for SDTV and 3 x picture height for HD. For 4K it halves again to 1.5 x picture height. Work it out for yourself with high school trigonometry. Any TV screen less than 50″ (diagonal) is pretty useless for viewing UHD content.The major benefit of UHD at the moment is that it provides an enhanced viewing experience for fast-moving sports. Its not so much the increase in UHD pixel count (resolution) that improves things but the progressive scanning that UHD mandates. Most broadcasters still use interlaced HD rather than progressive (TrueHD) and that technology trick is as old as TV itself.
Are most American TV shows broadcast in Ireland and Europe?
A lot of programmes a re-broadcast or we hear of them - I had no idea who Honey Boo-Boo was but South Park helpfully did a show all about her, South Park can be relied upon to tell about shows we didn't know existed & never needed to know about a lot of the time MTV re-broadcasts a lot of programmes that they make in the US - Teen Mom, Sweet Sixteen, Buck Wild, even Jersey Shore - in fact MTV went one better in the UK & made their own show called Geordie Shore based in Newcastle in the UK, it's gone to six series & it's dreadful Reality TV shows are not reality, most people realise this, reality shows are constructed realities with scripts & accompanying publicity campaigns - I would no more think the participants in Jersey Shore are typical of people living in New Jersey then I would think everyone in the US is like the people who go on Jerry Springer, Maury, etc etc
How long is time delay between live and tv broadcast for NFL games?
It depends. There is a seven second delay built in before the signal goes to broadcast, but the time it takes from broadcast to reception to you TV varies by your distance from the signal source and whether you are watching on HD or standard definition. In Hawai'i, it used to be standard practice to further delay the games to add more local commercials during breaks. By the end of the game, the delay could be a half-hour.
What are some TV channels that I can pay to broadcast on, and on average, how much does it cost to broadcast for an hour in the week?
Going to need more info than that.What country do you want to broadcast in?What type of content is it, program or commercial?What time of day?If it’s a single program you’ll have to try and sell it to the channel.Regarding cost I have no idea as you need info stated above. If you broadcast on a small channel (less than 250,000 viewers) it could be as cheap as a few hundred £. If it’s prime time on a well viewed channel it could be upwards of £1,000,000
How do tv channels broadcast shows?
Well, first you craft your video signal.For live TV, you have all your cameras, your graphics servers, and a giant video mixer called Switcher in the US, and a Vision Mixer in the UK. This big board mixes all your video sources into your final output signal, when you send to Master Control. For non-live TV, we start at Master Control, who choose a live feed or video server (probably 2 in a redundant configuration) that plays your list of video files in the scheduled order. That to-air signal probably goes through a graphics server to add tickers, or logos, etc, and then get's mixed into a transport stream, which also contains some auxiliary data, like maybe Closed Captions, and triggers for re-broadcasting partners to insert their own ads. The transport stream can then be sent multiple places:To an Antenna, for Over the Air BroadcastTo a Satellite Uplink - these will usually be encrypted, and receivers are provided to partners who redistribute. To a Fiber Uplink - like SAT, but point to point. Sat and Fiber are how cable networks get a copy of the channels they redistribute. This is not done centrally - cable companies mix local content w/ nationwide content in the final transport stream, which is why you get ABC 5 on channel 5 in one place, and ABC 8 on channel 8 in another...
