As part of its ongoing production infrastructure modernisation programme, Spanish national public broadcaster RTVE has modernised its Madrid facility with the installation of two Alfalite NEOPIX 1.5 MATIX AlfaCOB LED screens.
Designed to meet RTVE’s requirements for daily TV production, the two custom LEDs, a 7 x 2 metre curved screen and 9 x 1 metre secondary display, will serve as the primary visual background for the broadcaster’s news, current affairs and interview-based output.
Delivered in collaboration with Alfalite’s technology partner, Datos Media Technologies, the deployment marks the inaugural use of NEOPIX technology in a broadcast environment. Featuring a 1.5mm pixel pitch, the screens enable precise visual reproduction and are well suited to environments that require close viewing distances, said the company.
Alfalite’s proprietary Chip-on-Board (COB) technology, MATIX AlfaCOB, provides enhanced LED protection, improved visual uniformity and optimised thermal dissipation, also ensuring the surface is robust and easy to maintain for daily use.
Luis Garrido, executive director of Alfalite, commented, “Public broadcast environments operate under extremely demanding technical conditions, where reliability and visual consistency are essential on a daily basis. Working once again with RTVE confirms the strength of a relationship built on technical criteria and trust in the technology. NEOPIX 1.5 MATIX AlfaCOB meets the requirements of everyday television production and represents a ‘Made in Europe’ solution developed specifically for these environments. The collaboration with Datos Media Technologies has been key to the success of this project.”
David Martínez, COO of Datos Media Technologies, added, “The integration of the Alfalite NEOPIX 1.5 MATIX AlfaCOB LED screens was completed smoothly and within a very short timeframe, without disrupting ongoing broadcast operations. This project confirms the suitability of the solution for high-pressure broadcast environments and its ability to be efficiently deployed in fully operational studios.”
