Televisión
Norway's projectiondesign has supplied their 3-chip
DLP F80 1080 projector to Spain's Aragón Televisión for use in the station's
recently upgraded live news studio. Based in Zaragoza, Aragón Televisión is
owned by Televisión Autonómica de Aragón S.A and broadcasts daily to over a
million people in the Spanish autonomous community of Aragón, with many more
viewing over satellite and the internet. When the station decided to overhaul
the look and feel of its newsroom, it began to explore rear-projection as a
means of increasing the visual appeal of the studio's output. The final
projection system was specified, designed and installed in custom furniture
so that it complements the Aragón Televisión newsroom design by Arquitectura
Audiovisual. Jesús Matute, Commercial Director of local systems integrator
Arquitectura Audiovisual, takes up the story: "Initially, Aragón
Televisión were looking for the widescreen display primarily for studio
presenter support as well as to augment the presentation of live on-location
camera footage from reporters, studio graphics, weather reports and
forecasts." "The F80 1080 is equipped with an SDI-HDSDI input and
projects on to a 2.80 x 1.6 metre rear projection widescreen to show video
images from various newsroom sources including graphics images for weather
reports, direct outdoor connections with external reporters, and all the
other video signal types you would expect to see in a television studio such
as 1080p, SDI, VGA and composite video," Matute adds. „It's a tribute to
the quality and versatility of the projector that it is capable of showing
all these with outstanding colorimetry, high resolution, superb brightness,
clarity, performance and consistency - all important qualities in studio
lighting conditions." More: http://www.projectiondesign.com You receive the AVP-Newsletter.com on a regular basis per email for
