I thought HD wasn't far away. Several cinema's either last year or the year before with Digital Projectors were showing what I believe was claimed to be HD footage, and it certainly looked good, even on a massive screen. The coverage was taken from the FIA world feed too.
However I also read an article by the BBC HD team early this year saying that whilst they wanted to bring HD coverage, some local broadcast teams wern't setup to film HD and as such, it wouldn't be available this season, but hopefully next season. So who knows what the real story is.
Perhaps Bernie is waiting for RED to build a live broadcast camera? :)
Although several cinama´s indeed claimed they were showing HD pictures, this was not the case. In Europe an upscaled feed was provided (720p) by a British company called ¨Formula1 in Cinema¨. A true HDTV-feed has never been provided, not to cinema´s and not to European broadcaster either.
“That iconic Klipsch sound is here in full force, with crisp highs, delicate mids (which can easily have a bit more meat added with an EQ tweak) and tight, booming bass.”
