Lighthouse Backs Denmark's TV2 News Broadcasts

Danish terrestrial television network TV2 has recently added an LED screen from LED technology developer Lighthouse 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.
Billed & Lyd Director Peter Moresco said: "They are very good panels and very well-constructed. 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 & Wilcox image scaler, the HD-SDI formatted content has added a different dimension to TV2's news and sport bulletins. Mr Moresco said: "The customer is very happy."
Jens Schelde, Lighthouse Sales Manager for Western Central Europe, said: "The installation at TV2 clearly demonstrates the suitability of Lighthouse P10-FA panels for broadcast applications.
"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."
