HDNet World Report: Shuttle Discovery's Historic Mission

 (TV) (2005)

HDNet World Report: Shuttle Discovery's Historic Mission Blu-ray offers decent video and audio, but overall it's a mediocre Blu-ray release

World Report cameras have had unique access to the mission of Shuttle Discovery. From the events leading up to the STS-114 launch, to the touchdown of the spacecraft, relive this historic series of events through the eye of HDNet's high definition cameras.

HDNet World Report: Shuttle Discovery's Historic Mission Blu-ray, Video Quality

  3.0 of 5

Presented in 1080i utilizing the MPEG-2 codec (at an average bitrate of 33Mbps), Shuttle Discovery's Historic Mission contains a number of deficiencies that drag down the overall visual quality of the feature. Detail in most scenes is reasonably good (I'm referring to the ones that are shot in high-definition and not the blurry full-frame shots from onboard the actual shuttle), with even the intricate tiles of the shuttle's underside appearing clear and concise. Color use offers naturalistic hues with the occasional stand out presence of oranges or reds (as seen in the flight suits of the astronauts or the fire extending from the back of the shuttle during the initial take-off). Equally impressive, is the handling of contrast and black levels, which never resulted in a loss of shadow detail or differentiation between the lighter and darker elements in the picture. Unfortunately, the presence of stairstepping lines along diagonal outlines of the shuttle or its launchpad results in a significant downgrade to what is otherwise a decent transfer. In addition, you'll notice the presence of some moire effects anytime there are vertical lines that run in close proximity (it essentially results in diagonal blocks of alternating dark and light stripes that were not present in the original filmed material).


HDNet World Report: Shuttle Discovery's Historic Mission Blu-ray, Audio Quality

  3.0 of 5

The primary audio offering on the disc is a DTS-HD MA 2.0 track in the native language of English. Considering this is a dialogue-heavy production with narrative voice-over providing the bulk of the audio experience, there isn't really much to comment on. The occasional presence of choral music helps elevate sequences of significance, and there are subtle environmental sounds that show up from time to time in the track (such as the rumble of the shuttle take-off), but all I can really comment on is the clarity and volume balance of the front-heavy track. In that regard, the audio performs as expected, delivering accurate and distinct dialogue without a need to adjust the volume level of your receiver. There's ultimately nothing impressive or disappointing about this serviceable audio experience.
