Bugs in the system maybe, causing the lighting malfunction just as how the cameras go on their own walks sometimes. Here are the pics. They are now cyan and red. Looks very striking come to think of it, contrasts with the generally orange background.
If you miss-plug RGB as BGR you'll get cyan instead of orange.
It's been said by at least one of the insiders that the lighting is not currently under the control of the automation (like the cameras are). That either leaves miss-plug, incorrect memory loaded on the lighting desk, or someone experimenting - either way, not a malfunction or a bug in the system.
Isn't cyan / red the main colours of Persian (or Arabic)?
Thanks for clearing that up. I guess it now leaves human error on the table. I've never watched the Arabic strand before, but from the pics, it looks possible. Anyway that was Monday with the funny colours. Tuesday it was red, but hardly noticeable unless one really scrutinize. Only on Wed it's back to orange.
Maybe I haven't noticed it before, but I now see that this studio has new installations for 2 projector screen like objects hanging above, and programmes like Impact now uses a 2D hologram-like display for talking with correspondents. Maybe the projector screen things above are part of the devices that projects the image to appear slightly in front of the background LCD panel during videoconferences.
