Mediaset Espana has revamped the news studios of its free-to-air TV channels Telecinco and Cuatro with 844 LED screens from Alfalite.
The broadcaster worked with integrator Datos Media on the project.
For Telecinco (the most watched free-to-air TV channel in Spain), the news set has been completely transformed with 210 square metres of Alfalite LED screens, artificial intelligence and mobile camera solutions, making it one of the most advanced studios in Spain.
The centrepiece of the Telecinco News set is a huge 31 x 2.5-metre Alfalite Modularpix Pro 1.9 ORIM curved U-shaped wrap-around screen. The display can process up to three 8K video signals or 12 4K video signals of up to 12 bits and more than 50 million pixels, said Alfalite. A 32 x 1-metre Alfalite Modularpix Pro P3 U-shaped lintel has been integrated above the screen.
Datos Media also installed three 1.5 x 2.5 metre Alfalite Modularpix Pro 1.5 ORIM mechanised mobile totems, which include a motorised lifting mechanism to raise and lower them from the ceiling to the floor.
Cuatro TV channel’s studio includes an “L” shaped screen that starts on the floor and rises vertically towards the ceiling, enabling images to flow upwards like an endless loop and continue the movement through the side screens, said Alfalite. The 11 x 1.5-metre display with a walkable floor is made up of Alfalite Modularpix Pro 1.9 ORIM panels.
The Cuatro set also includes two 6 x 2.5-metre Alfalite Modularpix Pro 1.9 ORIM screens. In addition, the set of El desmarque, the Cuatro news sports programme, includes a 9 x 2.5-metre Alfalite Modularpix Pro 1.9 ORIM screen.
According to Alfalite, ORIM technology gives the screens “excellent impact resistance and an outstanding horizontal and vertical viewing angle of 175 degrees, as well as anti-reflection, anti-static and enhanced dissipation properties”.
The panels also have a low average power consumption (35 watts) and low levels of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC Certification), said the company.
