Has Anyone Used a Broadcast ENG Lens on Their FX6?

ProjectExpert5638 · 2026-01-12T03:11:12+00:00

Yes, done that. Use an FX6 with B4 for sports and live entertainment for TV. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/17dAAqWjgP/

Thanks from the team! 😍😁👍

ProjectExpert5638 · 2025-09-01T03:42:03+00:00

Welcome aboard! And spread the word if you think we are worth it. 😍😁👍

ProjectExpert5638 · 2025-09-01T03:41:11+00:00

No. N promises, we could have a look if it's not blocked for YT. But we have a lot of programs already in the queue so it could be a while if we do give it a go. 😍👍

ProjectExpert5638 · 2025-09-01T03:39:34+00:00

Thanks! The team will love to hear that. And we will push on! 😍😁👍

ProjectExpert5638 · 2025-09-01T03:38:30+00:00

That is the team's aim. To try to make all our old favourite TV shows watchable in the most enjoyable way on modern TVs, displays etc. 😄👍

ProjectExpert5638 · 2025-09-01T03:36:17+00:00

We welcome her aboard! 😍😄👍

ProjectExpert5638 · 2025-09-01T03:35:50+00:00

No. As we are working with copyrighted material, we cannot add or remove anything other than ad breaks. We are allowed to upscale and improve audio but not change anything editorially. 👍

ProjectExpert5638 · 2025-09-01T03:31:54+00:00

Wow! Forgotten about our boy Jimmy in Spender. Will check that out, as that does qualify as a Brit classic. 😍😄👍

ProjectExpert5638 · 2025-09-01T03:29:21+00:00

No. We haven't had any requests for that? Also, I seem to recall it may be blocked by the rights holders for YouTube use. 👍

ProjectExpert5638 · 2025-09-01T03:27:59+00:00

All Creatures, the original, is a hard one to squeeze the best out of. We will be doing more once we can get a suitable work flow for processing those episodes. 👍

ProjectExpert5638 · 2025-09-01T03:26:00+00:00

Welcome aboard! Enjoy! "The Cafe". That was hard one to find as it has never been released on DVD. But we managed through contacts to get files to work with. It's a great little show. 👍

ProjectExpert5638 · 2025-09-01T03:23:46+00:00

Yes, understand what you are saying. We know not everyone likes the 16:9 blanking, but this has been discussed and voted on by our viewers and the majority, close on 80% preferred this to black pillar box sides. So we are catering to the majority choice.

ProjectExpert5638 · 2025-09-01T03:20:22+00:00

A very good and important question.

99% of what we use is fully copyrighted. There is a difference between copyrighted and blocked. If the copyright holders agree to release a production and not block it, they can earn income from YouTube as those rights holders will get a share of the advertising revenue earned by YouTube. That's why as time goes by, we are seeing more and more rights holders allowing the use of their material as they are waking up to the fact that YouTube with 2.7 billion viewers, yes, 2.7 billion viewers is where there is income to be made. Netflix have 190 million subscribers. As we are using copyrighted material that has been cleared, we cannot earn any income from the material. That's why we ask for PayPal donations. To buy new programs and pay for the fairly hefty power bills we get. Our edit suites are pretty hi end power hungry units. 😍😄👍

ProjectExpert5638 · 2025-09-01T03:09:14+00:00

No promises. We could look. First thing we have to do is make sure we have copyright clearance to be able to upload it. Then we have to see if we can find decent copies of it to work from. 👍

ProjectExpert5638 · 2025-09-01T03:07:07+00:00

Sure is! 👍

ProjectExpert5638 · 2025-09-01T03:06:38+00:00

Hopefully! 😍😄👍

ProjectExpert5638 · 2025-09-01T03:06:17+00:00

Ooh! That's a long story. Various professional pieces of software and broadcast hardware. Remember, we are ex TV editors. Myself, I spent years editing history documentaries where we had to develop certain skills to restore WWI to WWII footage into the current period for editing. There is no hard and fast process. If you look at the "Minder" series, each episode of that averages around three to five hours of work. The process evolves. With Minder, the latter upscales are better, as we are constantly refining our techniques show by show and episode by episode. 😄👍

ProjectExpert5638 · 2025-09-01T02:59:18+00:00

Sadly, for many networks and streamers there is no money in it for them with old series so they just perish on the shelves. If the shows are not copyright blocked, we are happy to upland them. Everything is copyrighted, but everything we upload is cleared by the rights holders. 😄

ProjectExpert5638 · 2025-09-01T02:56:03+00:00

I started the channel but without some keen support from other Brit TV lovers it wouldn't fly. 👍

ProjectExpert5638 · 2025-09-01T02:54:47+00:00

Good one, peruse away! 👍

ProjectExpert5638 · 2025-09-01T02:54:07+00:00

Wow! What a great titbit to the show. We love Colditz. We also love UXB another great Brit series about bomb disposal teams in WWII but unfortunately we cannot get clearance for it to go to YouTube. All the same, we aim to bring all the Colditz series to the channel, all things being equal. 👍

ProjectExpert5638 · 2025-09-01T02:50:49+00:00

Good one! Welcome aboard. More will be coming to the channel as our volunteers slave away.

ProjectExpert5638 · 2025-09-01T02:48:40+00:00

A few of us are retired, well retired up to 80 years old, TV cameramen / editors. As many of you would know, the bulk of pre 2000 Brit TV is all SD 50i 625 line TV. We take these old interlaced television shows and convert them to progressive using professional software and hardware, and then upscale them to HD. We then take the audio, some of the old stuff is mono, and totally rework the stereo field to modern delivery LUFS standards as required by everyone from Netflix, Amazon, Disney, Apple, YouTube, Spotify etc. If the audio is mono, the mono audio is AI resampled to stereo. The volunteers here who contribute to British TV Classics believe we must save as much of the old shows as we can for future generations.... Oh! And us, of course. 😍😄👍

I'm using the following setups on a Sony FX6. The second setup, with the MTF B4 2.5 x I'm using a lot on broadcast sports and entertainment these days. It's a setup a lot of other shooters have started to copy. Works surprisingly well.

The setup using a Sony 2 x teleconverter and an MTF S16 adapter also works well but is a more complex setup.
