In fall 2019, EAR Professional Audio Video installed an on-air 8K LED video wall for KSAZ FOX 10 Phoenix. Years ahead of many national and regional broadcasters, the wall still operates in its original form today for daily broadcasts.
Ahead of the industry
When this wall went on air in 2019, 8K LED backdrops were still rare in broadcast. The installation put the studio years ahead of many national and regional broadcasters in adopting high-resolution LED on-air display technology.
A reliable, long-term investment
Seven years later, the wall still runs in its original form for daily broadcasts. It has proved a worthy and reliable investment: a seamless, high-resolution on-air backdrop that has stayed in service without replacement.
Why broadcasters choose LED walls
LED video walls deliver a bright, seamless image that holds up under studio lighting. Unlike projection, there are no shadows, no lamp replacements, and no washout from ambient light. Today’s LED walls go further:
- Fine pixel pitch, as low as 0.9 mm, for sharp images on close camera shots
- Up to 5,000 nits of brightness and a 5,000:1 contrast ratio
- Optional camera tracking for AR and xR production, with real-time backgrounds that can replace a green screen
- Custom sizes and curved or angled configurations to fit any set
- Modular panels that can be replaced individually, keeping the wall on air
