Citroën SM, 1971. On display at Transport World, an early SM (they were in production from 1970-1975) with a 2.7 litre Maserati V6 and 5-speed manual transmission. The car on display appears to be an original, unrestored example

[carionto]

I heard in the canteen that the humans once used a few antique combustion engines to start one of their portable stars. Any truth to the rumor?

Ah jeez, that was one hell of a day for that guy.

Yes and no. Where do I even being...

Okay. So this place up in Greenland called, uh... I'm gonna butcher this so bad, Hjeilhornhentrotnenheim, has an engineering museum, right? Right, and the guy in charge, his name is, ah fuck this is gonna be bad too ..., Hansinguaq Bjerresvontsgaardsen (I'm just gonna call him Hans from now on because uh yeah, no), collects all the things not fit for display in his personal transport ship. He's essentially converted it into his private mobile museum.

Not long after we established diplomatic channels and preliminary trade routes, Hans eagerly went off on his own to visit Alien equivalents to museums and such. Spent a solid three weeks traveling, sight-seeing, and adding things to his collection.

During a stop on the outer reaches of Coalition space his computer blue screened and forcibly shut down the reactor and pretty much wiped his communication array address book among other less relevant components. And no, I have no clue why he went so far out. He's 46, midlife crisis is my guess, telling him to go out on daring adventures or whatever. Anyway, he couldn't restart the fusion reactor while the inhibitor rod chambers were open, they open and shoot out the star canceler in an emergency shutdown, but one was stuck with the rod half-way in, so Hans had to manually open the reactor and fix it by hand.

Problem is, his transport ship, the Veritable Greenhorn, is fairly big, and the reactor's outer diameter was about 37 meters. Even in zero-g that's a lot of mass for one person to move, not to mention how much force you'd need to pry out a hyper dense metal alloy rod from a gate meant to withstand the pressure of a star right next to it. But he did have a lot mechanical power at his disposal, it just needed to be... rearranged.

Now, he did have backup generators that quietly hum in the background like on every Human vessel, but these are passive and nowhere near enough to charge the hyperdrive even if he could tell it where to go, let alone power machinery to counter a thousand ton jammed deadbolt. He needed something that had a kick to it, something you could really rev beyond its limits just long enough. He needed his V6s and V8s.

After almost two days of DIY engineering details I won't bore you with because I fell asleep when he explained them himself, Hans fired up the engines. It was a very tedious five hours of the engines rythmically tugging the deadbolt a tenth of a milimeter open and what is basically a massive jackhammer pummeling the rod back in. At one point he ran out of gas and was forced to sacrifice his alcohol collection.

Suffice to say it barely worked, all of the machinery he cobbled together became practically unusable, but it worked and he was able to restart the fusion reactor.

Oh, he didn't come home or anything by the way. Like I guess, midlife crisis. If anything, success has made him think nothing can get in the way of his Galactic exploration quest.

So that's the story. No, he didn't use combustion engines to start the reactor or anything, but lacking any other means to fix a problem I honestly didn't know could happen, the petrol guzzlers gave him the right kind of horsepower.

By the way, if you get a chance to tour the Veritable Greenhorn, I'd recommend it. I can't even begin to describe how that contraption looks, it's one of the main displays. I guarantee it's the most specific purpose built and rough pieces of Human engineering you will ever see.

Les rencontres vélo IDF

Compte-rendu (tout à fait subjectif) des rencontres vélos IDF du 5 décembre 2024

La rencontre est ouverte par un hommage indispensable à Paul Varry, cycliste tué par un automobiliste. On parlera beaucoup de violence motorisée et de violence routière. La volonté est de s’engager pour le zéro mort et zéro blessé grave.

Côté politique, notons la nomination à la région de Marianne Duranton, déléguée spéciale aux mobilités durables, qui se déclare elle-même cycliste, mais qui semble peu au fait des politiques vélo. Je note quelques perles : se plaint des difficultés de circulation à Paris (en voiture sous entendu), dit aux collectivités que c’est “vraiment du volontarisme” de développer des pistes cyclables (sous entendu, c’est un peu normal que ca traine, vu comment c’est la galère / difficile, au lieu de parler des avantages). 

Louis Belenfant du Collectif Vélo IDF parle de l’importance d’avoir de vraies pistes cyclables. (D’ailleurs, je râle systématiquement en commission transports car régulièrement la région finance des bandes cyclables, qui ne servent à rien, voire qui servent d’alibi aux collectivités territoriales paresseuses).

On nous annonce deux grandes priorités pour 2025 : accélérer les pistes cyclables du réseau vélo idf (VIF) et faire la signalétique et le jalonnement.

On n’arrivera pas aux 450 km souhaités de la phase 1, Ce sera plutôt 371 km dont des pistes provisoires. Mais on attend de belles pistes continues.

Idem le jalonnement : on attend 149 km du réseau avec la signalétique “VIF”.

Côté signalétique, l’expérimentation du CEREMA montre que les panneaux verticaux ne sont pas jugés très utiles car personne ne comprend ce qu’est le VIF. c’est un peu le péché originel : les lignes du VIF ne correspondent pas à grand-chose. Les projets précédents s’appelaient Métropolitain et RER Vélo et on avait une grande facilité et compréhension des lignes. La ligne 1 du Vélopolitain jaune doublait la ligne 1 du métro et la ligne B du RER Vélo en bleu doublait la ligne B du RER. Les lignes du VIF sont inconnues et même le chef de projet voirie de la région IDF s'emmêle les pinceaux et confond la V6 et la V7. Alors le cycliste du quotidien … c’est pas gagné.

Le service Veligo s’améliore et s’amplifie, avec de nouveaux modèles de vélo et le doublement de la flotte. Très bonne nouvelle, pour un très bon service. 

D’autres projets importants pour l’écosystème vélo sont présentés : le stationnement en gare et les maisons du vélo. Pour le stationnement, il y a encore pas mal de boulot, car seules 46% gares sont équipées et c’est hyper complexe de s’abonner, avec 30 opérateurs différents !

Côté maison du vélo, évidemment utiles quand il y a zéro vélociste à l’horizon et ça permet d’avoir un vrai service public associé à la pratique au quotidien.

Sécurité routière

Sur le long terme, l’accidentalité baisse, mais pour le vélo ça se dégrade depuis ces dernières années. Concernant les blessés, cela se passe surtout en agglomération. Mais on a plus de morts à la campagne (mortalité des cyclistes plus importante hors agglomération). Quelques autres chiffres intéressants : 40% des cyclistes tués tous seuls (sans tiers), le premier facteur d’accident c'est inattention, puis la vitesse.

Un chercheur de l’université Gustave Eiffel présente ses pistes de recherche sur le sujet de la sécurité des cyclistes. Pas de scoop, ni de révélation de mon côté

Paris en Selle parle de l’agressivité qui est un sujet. Idem pour les mises en danger. La violence et l’impunité des comportements violents ou négligents doivent aussi faire l’objet de politique publique.

Emmanuel Gay, représentante du Ministère des transports, rame pour répondre sur le plan vélo en 2025, récemment flingué par (feu) le gouvernement.

La Ville de Neuilly reçoit le prix du meilleur aménagement cyclable pour l’avenue Charles de Gaulle, qui est effectivement magnifique… mais pas finie ! il manque un bout avant le Pont de Neuilly, où c’est un vrai capharnaum (alors que toutes les associations ont insisté sur le besoin de continuités). Et je ne parle pas de l’avenue de Madrid, véritable enfer d’emportierrage. Et que tout Neuilly est le paradis des SUV. Et aussi de la comm de la ville pas hyper vélo friendly. Mais c’est vrai que la piste du VIF est belle.

La Seine St Denis gagne le prix du maître d’ouvrage le plus dynamique (mérité). Le prix spécial va l’agglo St Germain Boucle de Seine pour la “mobilisation des acteurs” 

J’ai posé la question des collectivités qui bloquent le plus le réseau VIF…. pas de réponse. Pas de ��name and shame” mais en off on me parle de St Cyr, des Yvelines, du Val de Marne, de Nogent. A suivre !

Toyota Camry XLE AWD 2025, pneus d'hiver et Audi RS3 d'Unitronic

Le 25 octobre 2024

S’il y a quelque chose de difficile à faire pour un chroniqueur d’automobiles, c’est de « couvrir » un véhicule qui n’allume pas nécessairement les passions. Et surtout, n’allez pas me traiter de « Toyota Basher » puisqu’il s’agit ici de la toute récente Camry XLE.

Je l’avoue, la Toyota Camry ne soulève pas nécessairement les passions même si c’est toujours une des autos les plus vendues en Amérique du Nord, voire même LA plus vendue! En fait, c’est plutôt la faute des consommateurs si cette passion pour la marque a diminué, même si la Camry n’est pas qu’une berline courante. C’est aussi une voiture « championne » en série de stock-car NASCAR! Oui, la Camry peut aussi être une auto sportive! Mais pour le consommateur moyen, c’est d’abord une berline fiable dont la réputation n’est plus à faire. Mais comment considérer une berline alors que le marché est plutôt axé vers les VUS de tous gabarits?

Toyota a redessiné une grande partie de sa berline Camry pour 2025. (Photo Éric Descarries)

La voiture qui m’a été confiée par Toyota Canada la semaine dernière était une belle berline XLE hybride à traction intégrale…en plein le genre d’auto qui devrait satisfaire la majorité des automobilistes québécois (ou même canadiens) pour toutes les saisons.

L’arrière a aussi été revu alors que les designers de Toyota ont ni plus ni moins « adouci » les arêtes de la carrosserie avec moins de fentes que dans le passé. (Éric Descarries)

Notons, au départ, que la Camry a été « légèrement » redessinée pour 2025 affichant un design avant et arrière révisé mais surtout un intérieur revu et une mécanique simplifiée. Les amateurs de Toyota les plus aguerris auront distingué le redesign de l’avant de l’auto, surtout au niveau des calandres et une retouche à l’arrière (que je trouve plus élégant puisque les fentes verticales aux bouts des couvre-parechocs sont disparues). Le toit et les portières sont semblables à ceux de l’année dernière ce qui nous indique que la structure de l’auto aura été reconduite.

Le tableau de bord révisé de la Camry 2025 affiche un design très conventionnel mais tout de même agréable à l’œil. (Photo Éric Descarries)

Toutefois, à l’intérieur, les retouches sont plus visibles. Le tableau de bord redessiné propose maintenant une instrumentation numérique de 7 pouces et un centre d’infodivertissement dont l’écran peut faire jusqu’à 12,3 pouces. Sachez que Apple CarPlay et Android Auto sont de série. Et, sans qu’on le voie immédiatement, les sièges autant avant qu’arrière ont été revus pour plus de confort.

Avouons-le, le compartiment arrière de la nouvelle Camry demeure très accueillant et surtout, comme on peut le voir ici, agréable à l’œil. (Photo Éric Descarries)

Quant au coffre arrière, il est semblable à ce qu’il ait toujours été. Il est amplement suffisant pour deux passagers en voyage ou pour le transport de petits objets. Cependant, il pourrait être plus grand…

Seule note négative, le coffre pourrait être plus grand pour une berline de ce créneau. (Photo Éric Descarries)

Toutefois, là où la Camry 2025 diffère, c’est sous le capot. En effet, il n’y a plus qu’un seul moteur au catalogue, soit le quatre cylindres à essence DACT de 2,5 litres combiné à un système hybride électrique devenu la spécialité de Toyota. En effet, vous avez bien lu, il n’y a plus de V6 disponible dans les Camry! Déçu? Faites l’essai du même véhicule avec le quatre hybride et vous comprendrez pourquoi le constructeur ne sent plus le besoin d’inclure le V6 au catalogue. Ses 232 chevaux (légèrement moins puissant que l’ancien V6) suffisent quand même amplement à procurer toute la puissance voulue pour déplacer la Camry. Incidemment, la boîte de vitesses est à variation continue (CVT) et, avec la XLE, on n’obtient que la traction intégrale (une configuration idéale pour les hivers québécois!). Ma voiture d’essai était équipée de pneus Bridgestone Turanza appropriés de dimension P235/45R18.

Sous les couvercles de plastique se cache le très fiable moteur à quatre cylindres turbocompressé de la Camry. (Photo Éric Descarries)

Sur la route

La Camry XLE (de production) n’est pas une voiture de course, ni une sportive ou une exotique. C’est, je le répète, une simple berline de tous les jours. Toutefois, ce qu’elle fait, elle le fait bien! Et elle le fait encore mieux vu qu’elle met en valeur le principe hybride Toyota qui est, à mes yeux, le meilleur de l’industrie.

Les accélérations ne sont pas étincelantes (avec 0 à 100 km/h en quelque huit secondes) mais elles sont honnêtes tout comme les reprises (mais ce ne sont pas les performances du V6!). La tenue de route n’est pas celle d’une voiture de sport mais la Camry est très stable alors que sa direction est précise. J’aurais peut-être un peu à redire sur le freinage que j’aurais aimé plus puissant et plus convaincant quoiqu’il puisse paraître suffisant pour le conducteur régulier.

Si la Camry hybride est des plus impressionnantes sur autoroute, c’est en ville qu’elle se distingue. Malgré qu’elle accuse un peu d’embonpoint quand vient le temps de la garer, son ensemble électro-mécanique est des plus convaincants pour les déplacements urbains. Le moteur électrique entre plus souvent qu’à son tour en action. Seule ombre au tableau, quand le moteur à essence « embarque », on l’entend (un peu trop)! Voilà un petit chapitre auquel les ingénieurs de Toyota devraient s’attarder, rendre cette interaction plus « transparente », plus discrète.

En ce qui a trait à la consommation, mon calcul à la pompe s’est chiffré à 6,37 l./100 km alors qu’Énerguide estime cette même consommation à 5,4 l./100 km. Il faut spécifier ici que la majorité de mes déplacements s’est faite en conditions urbaines. Cette Camry doit faire face à une concurrence assez vive, soit les Honda Accord, Hyundai Sonata, Nissan Altima, Kia K5 et Subaru Legacy de ce monde auxquels j’ajouterais les Chevrolet Malibu….en autant que ce véhicule continuera d’être offert! Mon véhicule d’essai affichait un prix de base de 44 950 $ auquel il fallait ajouter 1,08 $ d’Écofrais pour les filtres, 22,50 $ d’Écofrais pour l’huile, 100,00$ de taxe d’accise fédérale pour le climatiseur (qui, je le souligne existe depuis le milieu des années soixante-dix et qui n’a jamais été révisé), 12,50 $ de frais OMVIC et 1860 $ de frais de transport. Le grand total sera alors de 46 946 $ (plus taxes)!

Ma conclusion finale? J’aurais de la difficulté à ne pas conseiller la Camry à celui ou celle qui recherche une berline fiable et intéressante pour ses déplacements de tous les jours. De là à en faire un objet de convoitise…il y a une marge. Qu’importe, la Camry représente, ne serait-ce que par sa fiabilité et son excellente réputation, un excellent choix…si c’est une berline que l’on recherche!

C’est le temps des pneus d’hiver…

OK, c’est le temps! Le temps de passer aux pneus d’hiver. J’aimerais bien aider les lecteurs de ce blogue dans leurs recherches s’ils sont « dans le marché » pour des pneus d’hiver. Mais c’est le temps et l’espace qui me manque ici. Toutefois, puis-je vous suggérer de consulter le site internet Auto123.com  où j’ai publié (en français et en anglais) un dossier très complet sur les pneus d’hiver que l’on peut trouver sur notre marché cette année. J’y traite des pneus d’hiver courants (tant de haute qualité que plus « abordables ») que des pneus dits « homologués » ou conçus pour les véhicules électriques que des pneus pour camionnettes de tout genre.

Depuis des années que je traite et que j’analyse les produits de ce marché, depuis tout récemment, je m’attarde aux pneus dits « homologués », c’est-à-dire des pneus bons autant pour l’hiver que l’été. D’ailleurs j’utilise des Michelin Cross-Climate 2 de cette technologie sur ma propre Lincoln MKZ depuis plus de deux ans et des Nokian Outpost aussi « homologués » sur ma Jeep Wrangler alors que je suis de près l’évolution de Nokian WR G4 (maintenant remplacés par les WR G5) sur la Mercedes C de mon frère et les Hankook Kinergy H4S sur la Suzuki de ma belle-sœur. Jusqu’ici, les résultats sont des plus étonnants. Qui plus est, pas besoin de les changer aux deux saisons!

J’essaie ces pneus Michelin Cross-Climate 2 depuis deux ans déjà! Et ils me surprennent! (Photo Éric Descarries)

Cette année, je vais ajouter un jeu de pneus Nokian Hakkapeliitta LT3 à ma liste d’essais. Ces pneus devraient être installés sur une fourgonnette Chevrolet Express 2500 transformée en VR. À suivre…aussitôt que les pneus me seront livrés…

Qu’importe, si vous avez des questions à ce sujet, n’hésitez pas à me contacter!

Encore une fois!

Et, encore une fois, c’est l’Audi RS3 de compétition de l’équipe américaine de Chris Miller et Mickey Taylor qui a gagné le championnat des autos de moins de deux litres du défi Michelin Pilot de l’IMSA (courses d’endurance de quatre heures) en 2024. Jusqu’ici, rien de bien spécial pour nous au Québec…sauf qu’il faut savoir que l’auto est aussi commanditée par l’entreprise lavalloise Unitronic et que le design des couleurs de la voiture est signé Guillaume Descarries…Ouaip! Mon fils! Bravo!

L’Audi RS3 commanditée par Unitronic dont le dessin de la réclame du commanditaire sur toute la carrosserie est signé Guillaume Descarries! (Photo IMSA)

What a difference 32 years makes juxtaposition of Honda Passport, 1993 & Honda Passport Transport, 2025. The first generation Passport was a badge-engineered version of the Isuzu Rodeo, it was Honda's first entry into the SUV market in the US. The new fourth generation model is claimed to be "the most off-road capable Honda SUV ever." All versions will be powered by Honda's DOHC 3.5-litre V6 engine, driving through a 10-speed automatic transmission and come with the second generation of the Honda torque vectoring i-VTM4™ all-wheel drive system.

I’d been looking far too long for a car. Between checking Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist for “the perfect option”, and counting the cash in my coffers, I spent far too much time obsessing over the situation. I needed resolution—between the choice overload and my analysis paralysis, I would never decide on an option, but I desperately needed a car. 

Then, out of nowhere, the answer came. Okay, it wasn’t out of “nowhere”. I had been talking with my boss for a little while, trying to ask his advice on which car to buy, and talking about dream cars far beyond my feeble means, and otherwise spinning castles from cloudstuffs. He’d told me he’d “keep his eyes open for me” and it was those open eyes that spotted the prize. I say “prize” because it was a result, not because it was a glorious car. His son’s mother-in-law bought a brand-spankin’-new Jeep Grand Cherokee, and her old Kia Sportage was for sale.

I was disappointed when he told me about it. Here I was, asking for an Answer to my problem, and I didn’t like this answer. This car wasn’t “fun”. The only merits this Kia had were low mileage and regular, reliable upkeep. It was a bland, brown compact 4x4 SUV, not known to be particularly reliable. No spirit, no character, no hidden secrets. Nothing but a small engine on a set of wheels with enough space to carry four passengers and their luggage comfortably. My hot, red, young blood revolted. How could I choose this car? Where were the dreams now? What about my castles? 

However, I wanted to be mature. I needed a car, and I needed one now. I needed to buy something that would run for me, day in and day out, and not require a millionaire’s funds to keep it that way. Therefore, I needed a car from someone trustworthy, who wouldn’t hide problems from me, and I needed a price I could afford. The sensible parts of me started to see the Very Good Deals in this unromantic, uninteresting, unsurprising Kia. 

I hated it. I hated that I had to be “responsible” and “make a good decision”. I hated that I was beginning to see the world through this practical lens. After all, I was a kid! I should be having fun right? I shouldn’t have to make a “mature choice”, I should be allowed to have what I wanted without consequences! I didn’t want to be boring!

The more I thought it over, the more I saw that my excuses were little more than whining attempts to get My Way for the sake of it being My Way. I mustered what rational thought I could and left my doubts behind. Relying on my better judgment, I bought the car. 

I did try to put a good face on it. I was willing to try and see it for better than a junky pile of bolts. I was gracious to the woman who was selling it to me, and, since I brought my mother and older sister along to help me drive, I smiled and made the best of the car, no matter what I thought about it on the inside. I handed over my wad of cash with every regret possible to a boy. I doubted my decision, I doubted my life choices up to that point—I even doubted Romance itself. Nevertheless, I did buy the car. It was a car, and it was mine. The thought of ownership comforted me.

At first, the car was everything it had promised: basic, bland, and a little boring. However, I began to discover little details that made up for that. First, I had a lot of cargo room. Quite a bit more when I folded down the seats. Secondly, the car, if it was a bit bland, had some “get up and go” to it. It had a V6 engine and a Sport Mode that allowed for some sort of manual shifting. I came to appreciate the preppy little growl of the engine when I stepped on the throttle. The 4-wheel drive was handy on the ice and snow of the Northern Midwest winters, and the light interior didn’t heat up as much in the summer. Finally, I started to appreciate owning my own car. It was a degree of freedom that I hadn’t experienced before. I now had constant transportation to wherever I wanted to go—within reason. Of course, this got me into trouble with my parents quite a few times. I did break curfew, I was bad at communicating, and I did let the freedom go to my head quite a few times.

After a while, I thought about upgrading my car situation. When the pocketbook again revolted, I considered the merits of car mods and the relative benefits therein. I wasn’t exactly a full-fledged “car guy”, but I knew my way around an engine bay, and I did small maintenance jobs for all of our equipment. Eventually, I decided against it. I decided to look for high-octane excitement elsewhere and leave my Kia as it was.

I hadn’t dreamed of owning a Kia. I suppose few people do. I had my own ideas of what I had wanted, and what it may take me to get that. Nevertheless, I found myself satisfied with my car, even if I had shattered another rose-colored notion of a romance with my first ride. It was merely another part of the maturing process and another internal battle to win. My “choice” was merely cooperation with the opportunity as it arose, and there was freedom in that. My dreams would have to wait quite a while longer.

NBC will leverage NDI, HDR, ST 2110 and REMI workflows for 2024 Olympi - Videoguys

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/nbc-will-leverage-ndi-hdr-st-2110-and-remi-workflows-for-2024-olympi-videoguys/

NBC will leverage NDI, HDR, ST 2110 and REMI workflows for 2024 Olympi - Videoguys

Bob Kovacs, former Technology Editor for TV Tech recently wrote an article for TV Technology “NBC Rises to the Tech Challenges of the 2024 Olympics.” Kovacs highlights how NBC will leverage NDI, HDR, ST 2110 and REMI workflows to broadcast the 2024 Olympics.

According to Darryl Jefferson, senior vice president of engineering and technology for NBC Olympics and Sports, NBC, the official U.S. broadcaster for the Olympic games has been working for almost two years in both Paris & the NBC Sports Hub in Stamford, Connecticut to ensure a broadcast that is swifter, higher and stronger.

This will be Jefferson’s first games as head of NBC Olympics’ tech operations. Jefferson has been with NBC Olympics since 2008 in Post Production and Asset Management teams. 

“We started design and peer review about 20 months ago, with build, configure and test in our integration facility. We tested video paths, workflows, delivery mechanisms and failure modes all before items shipped out. We ship gear mostly pre-configured, pre-installed, and pre-tested, for both speed of deployment and for peace of mind.” Darryl Jefferson

The Broadcast is going to be complex, with numerous venues and the the need to integrate feeds from the primary Olympics video system. There are a lot of moving parts. Their goal is for viewers to experience a seamless broadcast. So seamless viewers won’t notice that many of the on-air talent is in Stamford, while the bustle is happening in Paris. 

“The biggest leap is splitting large parts of our team between Paris and Stamford. Transporting large quantities of cameras, effects gear and studios full of equipment all the way home has historically not been financially viable. In some cases, the latency was unacceptable. That split approach allows us to cover more sports with fewer total people traveling than just a few Games ago.” Darryl Jefferson

NBC Is prepared to give the viewers a seamless broadcast with the revolution in connectivity and capability.

“With new tools, robust networks, capacity with cloud infrastructure, and the ability to approach signal transport differently, there exists a whole host of new options today” Darryl Jefferson

The Oylmpics will be broadcasted in 4K/HDR and 5.1.4 immersive audio. Jefferson says “It may be a tie between getting HDR support everywhere we may need it, and the large cut over to support IP in many places. Although we’ve had important experience with both, there exist so many devices, solutions, vendors and third parties that do not support wide color gamut today, or equipment through which color information doesn’t survive.”

One of NBC’s most basic decisions assembling a system of this size is where to use the SMPTE ST 2110 IP video standard and where to use the older SMPTE SDI standard. “We have a healthy mixture of both, but are about 60% ST 2110 handoff, venue and core orchestration,” Jefferson said. “In some cases, we support both formats within a Tech Center, or gateway translation to convert one to the other. Fortunately, we have spent the last few Games [since Tokyo] making the transition over time, and certainly learning all the lessons.”

In addition to SDI and ST 2110, NBC is also using some NDI. “We are using NDI in some areas, specifically NDI v6, with support of HDR and enhanced audio,” Jefferson said.

“We have a whole trove of new technology, some of which is well behind the camera [ST 2110 and Dante, HDR and ATMOS everywhere], new encoding mezzanine formats, and also a good deal of enhancements to bring viewers further behind the scenes. Backstage cameras, audio from coaches, cameras in the stands with families, even biometrics on family and coaches. The goal of all this technology is to bring more elements of storytelling around each athlete’s journey.” Darryl Jefferson
