[h=1]4K at Augusta National: Inside CBS and DirecTV’s Historic 4K/UHD Production at The Masters[/h]
CBS will deploy 12-14 Sony HDC-4300 4K/HD/high-speed cameras outfitted with a mix of Fujinon 4K and HD lenses. Since CBS is focused on producing a “pure-4K” feed, the network will not upconvert any HD cameras for the 4K show. The camera complement is similar to CBS’s previous Amen Corner productions.

Wow! Cool news. Wish I were on that crew.

I'm always amazed at their ability to track the ball on a long lens. Personally I'd rather watch the crew work then golf but that's just me.

Much cheaper to watch the Masters in 4K at home than in person !

Do you think that lens can be adapted to a GH4?

Wow those tickets are high. Is that a real price?

 

[joe1946]

Yep, that is the real price.

That video is what came to my mind!

 

[Matt Gottshalk]

That's insane.

"This, according to a Georgia county sheriff stationed at Gate 6A, is where the worst scofflaws at the Masters are taken. They are escorted inside the building, where a security official fills out an incident report and confiscates the badge that admits them to the course. They are then escorted off the premises.
Forever.
"The green jackets don't care," said the sheriff, who didn't want his name used. "They tell us to rip off their badges" -- he makes a yanking gesture -- "and bring them there, and if they won't come, that's fine, too. They just take the number on the badge and that's it. They're banned for life."
Banned for life?"

Can you imagine paying thousands for a badge and getting it taken just for having a cellphone !

It's actually pretty easy.
You put a piece of green gel over the viewfinder screen and turn the monitor contrast up.
The ball glows like the sun!
