Zagreb’s Nova TV switches to Leyard Europe
- Details
The move to new premises in the heart of Zagreb presented Nova TV with the opportunity to create a state-of-the-art TV studio, equipped with the latest video wall solutions that would “deliver an extraordinary result”.
To realise its ambitious goal, the broadcaster approached trusted partners, Zagreb-based systems integrator, Omnivor, which had worked with previously on software solutions for presenting election polls and social media analysis, and Ominvor’s partner company, Kapetanović sistemi.
“It was clear from the start that LED was the ideal display technology,” explains Velibor Marhofer, Omnivor’s CTO. “It hit Nova TV’s brief for modern and sophisticated technology, offered better pixel pitch, the opportunity to create curved screens, and a lower electricity consumption. After considering a range of LED brands, we selected Leyard because of the high-end profile of the brand, the high quality of its TVF series, which comes with a lifetime warranty, and backed by the Leyard team’s support and professional approach.”
The project, which was completed in September 2022, included multiple LED video walls, three of which were curved. Two 14m x 7m curved video walls frame the central news anchor desk, displaying infographics and background scenery for news, interviews, weather forecast, and sports news in high resolution, thanks to the 1.5mm pixel pitch of the TVF fine pitch family of LED.
The content also displays on a further two video walls measuring 23m x 3m and 18m x 3m, comprising 7.8mm pixel pitch flat LEDs from Leyard’s high-brightness Luminate Pro Series. Low resolution LED measuring 7m x 7m serves as a backdrop to the co-working zone visible behind the main presentation space, and display background graphics.
Chief technology officer at Nova TV, Srecko Husnjak says Leyard was a logical choice that perfectly fulfilled their brief. “The curved LED video walls make an impressive background to our new scenography with modern graphics solutions, presentations and virtual coverages,” he notes.
