Blitz Television Services’ account manager Jeff Bailey and project manager Mike Kane chose the Lighthouse panels, says Jeff Bailey, "Because we felt the picture quality was excellent, with very good contrast and brightness levels, and the resolution with the tight 6mm pixel pitch is ideal for TV applications where the viewing distances are very short and cameras have to be close to the set. It was also felt that Lighthouse would be the best product supplier because of their excellent customer service and support record."
The team are making full use of the LVP0630s’ light weight and compact panel size, combining them to form a giant six panel wide by five high videowall backdrop to the main TOTP stage and then splitting them into three separate columns for creative effects. A custom-built stage was designed to be easily pulled apart to achieve the screen moves.
The ultra-high resolution 6mm pixel pitch allows the screen to be viewed at much closer distances than previous LED products, especially important in a studio environment when cameras are often quite close to the screen.
