A/V Tech at NASA, Part 1: Behind the Scenes with HDNet

In March, I had the privilege of visiting NASA's Kennedy Space Center during the launch of mission STS-123. Both NASA and media outlets covering human spaceflight are using some remarkable technology to bring NASA's activities to your home!

In part one of a two-part article, I go behind-the-scenes with HDNet, a Dallas-based all-high-definition network, the first network to offer true high definition coverage of space shuttle launches. They're using some great gear and some complicated techniques!

Stay tuned for part two, when I visit with NASA's phenomenal NASA TV production team at the Kennedy Space Center as they bring the STS-124 launch live to millions via their network (and to the millions of viewers seeing their work on other networks worldwide)!
