I'm following a thread over in the film/TV production sound NG,
news:rec.arts.movies.produciton.sound dealing with equipment selection and configuration for some new "reality" TV show. The fact that these range from insipid to contemptible aside, I was amused to note one of the equipment recommendations... Apparently the directors/producers are using portable scanners which are programmed to the wireless mic frequencies of the "talent", (and with the "talent"s names programmed for display) so that the producer/director can scan all the conversations to find something "juicy" to send the camera crew to shoot. OTOH perhaps it is only art imitating life where people listen to police, fire, and other public agencies to find out what's going on. :-) In some places (notably NYC) many audio production pros carry computer-based wideband radios to plot local spectrum situations in order to select reliable wireless mic frequencies. And they are desparing at the imminent loss of the analog TV channels (where they freuqently use narrow slices of unused local channels for wireless mics and other wireless functions.) |

They are not alone - the entire broadcast industry is concerned about it. We (both BC people and hams) often lose sight of the real meaning of "secondary allocation". -- 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane From a Clearing in the Silicon Forest Beaverton (Washington County) Oregon e-mail: k2asp [at] arrl [dot] net |
