The NORAD of ABC in Austin
When I went up to have an interview in the ABC Newsroom here in Austin, a gentleman there named Ed Sparks was nice enough to take me back to the inner sanctum. Ed is a frequent here in the community (hi Ed!) and quite the camera enthusiast. Before and after my live appearance (from a few weeks ago), he took me back into this control room so I could set up for a shot. As usual, I've uploaded the full-res version so you can see all the little details in the room. To see the full-res version, just click on the photo to go to the Flickr site. Click on "All Sizes" at the top of the photo. Last, click on "Original".
They explained to me how the room worked and how everything was customizable. The crew can pull in whatever feeds they need and position them on the screen accordingly. They even can save templates, since each producer that comes in and out during the day can have their own setup. It was quite fascinating to watch these guys operate in precision... I had to catch myself and remember to take photos, since I would sorta stare at the screens at get mesmerized for a bit!

I Work on TV, and let me tell you multi screening on 62'' plasmas rocks the world!
When they dim the lights, and all the switcher buttons light up like a chistmas tree, it sure makes a perfect set-up for HDR. Great pic!

As sharp as the image is, I was amazed at the amount of noise and "pixel" problems when viewed at Original size. The motion of the arms made the photo! Is that you to the left?
