Broadcast LED video walls for TV studios
EAR Professional Audio Video designs and installs LED video walls for broadcast and production studios in Arizona.

Studio projects
- ASU Thunderbird School of Global Management: primary contractor for the downtown Phoenix broadcast studios, with XR LED walls, green screen, studio lighting and live streaming.
- On-air 8K LED video wall: installed fall 2019, years ahead of many national and regional broadcasters, and still in daily broadcast use in its original form.
- Command and control centers: McCarthy Building Companies and Koch Industries operations centers with Crestron control and some of the Southwest’s largest video walls.
What a studio LED wall needs
- Fine pixel pitch, as low as 0.9 mm, for sharp images on close camera shots
- Brightness and contrast up to 5,000 nits and 5,000:1
- XR and virtual production, with optional camera tracking for AR and xR backgrounds
- Custom sizes, including curved and angled walls to fit the set
- Modular panels that can be replaced individually, keeping the wall on air
- Camera-ready setup: camera-friendly refresh and scan rates, genlock and sync, LED processing, color calibration, and integration with your switchers and control room
