CBS Television City in Los Angeles, the CBS Television Networkís West Coast production facility, has purchased and installed a pair of Bag End INFRAsub-18 subwoofer systems in its brand new high definition television editing suite.""Our HDTV editing room, which is up and functioning right now, is one of the first two high definition editing rooms on the West Coast,"" said Marc Hurd, Director of Technical Operations for CBS Television City.""CBS has chosen to be very aggressive in HDTV production,"" he said. ""The federal government has given the industry a mandate to be broadcasting in digital format by 2006, and that ñ combined with CBSí ability to broadcast HDTV productions ñ means we will be providing viewers with the greatest quality picture and soundtrack available anywhere. It will be phenomenal.""Actually, CBS has already broadcast some programs in HDTV, including a recent movie, The Bodyguard, and two football games, using completely separate sets of cameras and production equipment to gain experience in the new format.After a period of testing subwoofer systems, the company says, CBS purchased the Bag End INFRAsub-18 subwoofer systems for its HDTV editing room. These are the same subwoofer systems being used by Todd-AO, Paramount Pictures, Warner Brothers, 20th Century Fox here in the United States and other major motion picture studios in England such as Twickenham Film Studios in London and Australia (Soundfirm) in their production and post-production facilities.
