STO in HD....

This will be the season for us to transition into high definition television for the entire regular season. (Don't try to adjust your set during spring training - those games will still be in standard definition.) I have seen over time our good friend here at WKYC Frank Macek addressing the subject of this very exciting change in broadcasting.

There is still time for you to acquire that 52" screen for the Tribe's run for the pennant this year. If you feel so inclined, I have added a couple of links here for you to check out just what HDTV is and how it works. These are just a couple of reports listed with many other articles on digital vs. HD, as well as what to look for in a set.

You will notice a lot more detail. in the HD picture. We certainly can tell that in showing off ballparks, the wide shot takes on another dimension. We have offered many different looks of Progressive Field --- even Fenway Park looks like a place you would like to visit! (OK, maybe not) The panoramic shots give you that film appearance of cinemascope leaving you with an interesting view inside the park and sometimes out to the city, making you feel like you are actually there.

Surround sound adds another dimension to the visual. When the show is mixed, crowd noise fills the air and again, you can be transported to the game itself feeling that you are a part of it. Once again there are a variety of ways to do this, depending on room size and the seating arrangement.

Dont be shy... pull up your easy chair, grab your favorite beverage, and enjoy the excitement of the games in HD! I know we will!
