LIGHTHOUSE BACKS DENMARK'S TV2 NEWS BROADCASTS

Denmark – 18th August 08 - TV2, the second highest profile terrestrial television network in Denmark, has recently added a Lighthouse LED screen to its news studio, bringing a new visual dimension to its news broadcasts.

Installed by Odense-based Billed & Lyd ApS, the 8 x 5 panels (5.12m (w) x 2.40m (h)) P10-FA screen is used as a background for the channel’s newscasters and shows graphics relevant to the particular story being covered.

This is the first LED screen to be used as a backdrop by any Danish TV station. The installation followed a highly successful test last year, in which TV2 used a similar Lighthouse screen as a backdrop to its coverage of the country’s parliamentary elections.

Billed & Lyd ApS has been using Lighthouse screens for two years and specified the P10-FA panels for their visual quality and super-quiet, fanless design, as well as the ease of front panel access.

“They are very good panels, and very well-constructed,” says Billed & Lyd director Peter Moresco. “They are ideal for this application - with the camera being situated about 30 metres in front of the screen, the brightness, colour and image quality are perfect for television viewers.”

With control by a Lighthouse LIP-DX processor and a Snell and Willcox image scaler, the HD-SDI formatted content has added a different dimension to TV2’s news and sport bulletins. “The customer is very happy,” says Peter Moresco.

“The installation at TV2 clearly demonstrates the suitability of Lighthouse P10-FA panels for broadcast applications,” says Jens Schelde, Lighthouse sales manager for Western Central Europe.

“With main news and sport bulletins having a large television audience, it has provided an opportunity to show the quality of our LED screens to the most, if not all, of the Danish population.”
