NAB: CNN taps Sony XDCAM HD for hi-def launch
Posted on: Apr 19, 2007 ~ 9:03.04 a.m.
By The Associated Press

Sony's big NAB news is that CNN will use the XDCAM HD optical format to support its launch of a high-definition service later this year on satellite operator DirecTV.

CNN plans to use XDCAM HD camcorders and decks for high-definition ENG and news production applications, and will roll-out the XDCAM HD system across its global newsgathering operations.

The CNN win is a major coup for Sony, which has been vying with Panasonic's solid-state P2 HD format to be the high-definition ENG format of choice. P2 HD has won major deals from station groups, including the Fox O&O's, while XDCAM HD has been tapped by CBS and NBC for network news production. NBC has also been experimenting with the format at a few O&O's, including WNBC New York.

LUBITSCH FILMS in Los Angeles has listed their Panasonic AJ-HD1400 HD deck with us! Thanks to HD DECK RENTALS.COm, even a company with a small rental inventory like Lubitsch can have the same web presences and exposure as the biggest rental houses in the world. Many producers report that dealing with micro rental houses is often an easier transaction than dealing with the big houses. The problem is, since there are so few decks at the small houses, the decks rent fast and are often not available. So rent early!!
