The CNN color lies: Same video but different colors ?

by "Skybuck Flying" <BloodyShame@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Jul 7, 2008 at 11:12 PM

Hello,

The woman that was resqued from the farc/colombian jungle was broadcasted
by 
different television channels.

Among france channel, euro channel, and cnn channel.

However the colors on france and euro channel looked very alive and 
colorfull... while the cnn colors looked very dull, mate, gray and
vague... 
for example people had green or blue suit on euro channel and it looked
near 
dark/black on cnn channel, other example... dude had like almost
pink/beige 
suit... but it looked vage on cnn channel... like some cheap old suit from

the past ;)

It's was exactly the same video but still different colors ?

What causes these different colors ?

My best guess is:

1. CNN compresses the video signal to broadcast it via satelites or so to 
save money...

2. Or they simply have old/bad equipment ?

3. Or bad settings ???

Dismissed:

0. ntsc<->pal conversion issue's, I similulated this... it doesn't seem to

be the case, since this would give even worse color distoration which
would 
definetly be noticeable... unless maybe just maybe some clamping had 
occured.. but still I think this option can safely be dismissed ?!? ;)

Who can shed some more light on these "cnn color lies" ?

Bye,
  Skybuck.
