AUGUSTA NATIONAL GOLF CLUB AND CBS SPORTS TO PRESENT 18-HOLE COVERAGE OF 2004 MASTERS ® IN HDTV WITH LARGEST HIGH DEFINITION PRODUCTION

 

For the second consecutive year, the standard analog and HDTV productions of the 2004 Mastersâ Tournament will be unified and will provide 18-hole coverage in HDTV's highest definition format.

 

In the largest HDTV production, CBS Sports will utilize 42 high definition cameras and 10 hand-held 16x9 standard definition cameras.  The unified productions will be produced in 1080i, and downconverted for the CBS Television Network's analog broadcast.  This production technique also produces a better quality analog picture.  Whether watching in widescreen HD or traditional 4x3 analog, viewers hear the same golf announcers and see the same camera angles, replays and graphics.

 

The 2000 Masters was the first golf tournament ever presented live in HDTV on network television, and it is still the only major tournament broadcast in high definition.  The 2003 Masters marked the first time that the standard and HDTV productions of the Tournament were unified.

 

CBS Sports will broadcast the 2004 Masters on the CBS Television HD Network on Thursday, April 8 and Friday, April 9 (4:00-6:30 PM, ET, each day) and Saturday, April 10 (3:30-6:30 PM, ET) and Sunday, April 11 (2:30-7:00 PM, ET) live from Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Ga. The third and final rounds of the Masters will be broadcast simultaneously in standard definition by CBS Sports on the analog CBS Television Network.

 

Beginning in 1993 the Masters experimented with HDTV on a limited basis to discover how the new system could improve the presentation of the tournament to the television audience.  The 2004 Masters broadcast will be presented in the highest form of HDTV with 1080 lines of resolution and over two million picture elements which makes it six times sharper than standard definition television.

 

One hundred and seventy-nine of CBS's owned and affiliated stations are currently broadcasting in digital, covering approximately 97% of the nation. 


INDUSTRY LEADERS SHARE THEIR DTV VISIONS AT ATSC ANNUAL MEETING

Washington, DC, April 1, 2004 – Members and guests representing the broad and diverse DTV industry attended this year’s Advanced Television Systems Committee annual membership meeting on Tuesday at the Hotel Washington. Leading the day’s insightful presentations was a keynote address by Tribune Broadcasting president, Patrick Mullen. He focused on the commitment of broadcasters to the transition to digital and the need for cooperation among industries. “ATSC continues to play a vital role in advancing digital television in our country, and in forging cooperation among the many industries that are invested in the success of digital television. All of us can be proud to be your members and supporters.”

Giving the State of the Industry addresses were NAB’s Eddie Fritts, NCTA’s Robert Sachs, and CEA’s Gary Shapiro.

NAB president and CEO Eddie Fritts remarked, "We need to provide services that exploit all the advantages of over-the-air transmission-and reach the greatest audience possible with a reliable, received signal.  For example, ATSC's work on a standard for distributed transmission is commendable. The idea of synchronized multiple transmitters has the potential to help increase the reliability of over-the-air broadcast service."

“The cable industry’s rollout of HDTV ‘continues at full throttle’ with cable aggressively promoting its HD offerings and rapidly deploying HD services to further bolster its competitive position,” said Robert Sachs, NCTA president and CEO.

Gary Shapiro, CEA president and CEO urged all DTV leaders to “work together to educate the American public and promote this wonderful technology.” Looking to the future he added, “Interactivity clearly is the next phase of digital television, thanks to work by the ATSC and others.  Perhaps the greatest compliment to this standards body is that millions of U.S. households now and in the future will enjoy your countless hours of hard work and dedication.

Graham Jones of NAB received this year's recipient of the Bernard J. Lechner Award for Outstanding Technical Contributions to ATSC. Mr. Jones led the effort to develop the Programming Metadata Communications Protocol” (PMCP) Standard. “Graham’s leadership exemplifies the role of a specialist group chairman. In addition to his technical contributions, Graham has run a highly organized and efficient specialist group that delivered its work in a timely manner. In addition, his outreach efforts have brought new participants into the work and new members into ATSC,” remarked Mark Richer, ATSC president.

The day included panel presentations on the hottest HD programming and the latest and greatest in consumer equipment. Phil Bond, U.S. Under Secretary of Commerce for Technology addressed the impact of ATSC standards outside the U.S. Broadcast leaders from Canada and Mexico also gave reports.

Technical demonstrations were conducted by ATI, Dolby, Microsoft, LINX Electronics, LSI Logic and Zenith.

Sponsors of the annual meeting were ATI, Harmonic, LG Electronics, LINX Electronics, Panasonic, ST Microelectronics, Tandberg Television, and Zenith Electronics.

The Advanced Television Systems Committee, Inc. is an international, non-profit organization developing voluntary standards for digital television.  ATSC member organizations represent the broadcast, broadcast equipment, motion picture, consumer electronics, computer, cable, satellite, and semiconductor industries.

Chinese Communist Party: The New Leap Forward


Thanks to reforms initiated by former party head and President Jiang Zemin and others, Chinese communism today appears to have adopted some remarkably capitalistic ideologies. These reforms have had profound effects on China's economy and have shaken up some fundamental parts of the culture. But as the drums of reform continue to beat, China is on the march.

Martin Landau reprises his role in this charming fantasy sequel as Geppetto, the Italian woodcarver who created a real boy (Gabriel Thomson) out of a puppet.

Warwick Davis costars in this delightful production from director Michael Anderson ("Logan's Run," "Orca").

PG 1h 47m
An ingenious game of "what if" lies at the heart of this gentle comedy/fantasy directed by Alan Taylor. In this alternative take on history, Napoleon (Ian Holm in a dual role) escapes exile on St. Helena when he and his supporters convince a minor deck-hand to double for him in captivity. The emperor will return to France, the ruse will be revealed, and Napoleon will return to power. Or that's the plan. Alas, it seems captivity has its allures and Bonaparte's doppleganger begins to enjoy his new persona. "Delightful" - "Los Angeles Times."
