LED video wall projects and case studies
EAR Professional Audio Video, in Tempe, Arizona, has designed, supplied and installed LED video walls for TV newsrooms, corporate broadcast studios, universities and command centers. Each project below shows how we build a wall that looks right on camera and stays on air. For the technology behind them, see broadcast LED video walls for TV studios.
Edward Jones National Broadcast Center
Replaced a fixed hard set, which EAR built in 2014, with a curved LED wall so one studio can look different for every program.
- Planar DirectLight Pro 1.5 mm, 36 cabinets, about 19 ft x 9 ft
- Faceted 30-degree curve on a custom frame by Advanced Mounting & Design to cut glare and moiré
- Colorlight processing at 10-bit with 12G-SDI inputs, spare modules on site
- Used for live streams, podcasts, national network feeds and internal communications
KSAZ FOX 10 Phoenix on-air 8K wall
An on-air 8K LED backdrop installed in fall 2019, years ahead of many national and regional broadcasters.
- Still in daily broadcast use in its original form
- Seamless high-resolution backdrop under studio lighting
- A long-term investment that has stayed in service without replacement
ASU Thunderbird School of Global Management
EAR was primary contractor for the broadcast studios at Thunderbird’s downtown Phoenix campus.
- XR LED walls, green screen and studio lighting
- Live streaming of lectures, events and seminars to a worldwide audience
Corporate command and control centers
Operations centers that monitor solar power fields around the world, 24×7.
- Some of the Southwest’s largest video walls
- One-touch Crestron control of every source and layout
What these projects have in common
- Pixel pitch chosen for the camera distance and the budget, not the spec sheet (why it matters)
- Walls locked to the cameras, with genlock and camera-friendly refresh, so there is no flicker on air
- Frames shaped to the set, including curved walls that reduce glare and moiré
- Support after install: spare modules, warranty service and training, so the wall stays in use for years
- Camera setup on set: brightness, color and camera choices for LED backgrounds (best practices)
