NEW HUNGARIAN TALENT SHINES BRIGHTLY WITH LIGHTHOUSE SCREENS
Hong Kong - 7 January, 2008 - With no sign of any abatement in the global appetite for television talent shows, there is currently massive demand for LED screen backdrops. With its ability to seamlessly merge video, graphics and lighting effects, LED screen is the perfect scenic complement to ensure the requisite ‘wow factor’ for audiences of millions.
“Csillag Születik (A New Star Is Born) is one of the major shows for Hungary’s biggest commercial broadcaster, RTL Klub,” says Jens Schelde, Lighthouse sales manager for Western Central Europe. “The current series features a stunning backdrop, thanks to Lighthouse’s flagship R6-III LED screen. This is the first time that R6-III has been used in this way on Hungarian television.”
The sides of the stage set comprise a range of internally lit columns which look like stylised skyscrapers, so the centre stage backdrop was designed to complement them. There are seven columns of Lighthouse 6mm screens, which vary from three to eleven panels in height and from one to three in width, using a total of 96 panels.
The LED panels are supplied by Budapest-based AV Control, which, since 2002, has swiftly become one of the country’s major players in the A/V rental and installation market.
"The 6mm pixel pitch screen provides outstanding picture quality for the show’s high-tech decoration," says Zoltán Járfás, CEO of AV Control. "Lighthouse 6mm LED screen can be applied very creatively and we have taken full advantage of its versatility with the design."
The panels are controlled by two Lighthouse LIP-KX and two Supervisor LH Universal Display Optimisers, while content is devised and implemented by the programme production company, tailored specifically for each act.
Csillag Születik features a broad spectrum of talent of all ages, from dancers to magicians, musicians to storytellers. Over eight week’s programmes, the acts are whittled down until the winner is declared in the final episode of the series.
