In March 2020, Al Arabiya, Arabic-language news channel broadcasting from the emirate of Dubai throughout the day surprised its audience with an elegant new studio, starring three curved videowall of the Belgian firm ship.

The project of design and installation of the set, of 140 m2, has been made by Intertech, barco partner, with an open configuration of the space that integrates several sets in the writing itself, and whose visual system is formed by 594 Led modules, with 1,5 pixel pitch mm.

The Led videowalls have infinipix image processing and three management systems E2 are responsible for feeding with shocking images and graphics the screens.

As Fadi Radi explains, creative director at Al Arabiya, "In our new studio the graphics are protagonists. You can see a videowall in practically any camera shot of the studio next to the presenter. certainly, in times when people have become accustomed to hyperrealistic images, the image quality of the videowall will make or break the show. That's why we just wanted the best of the best.".

To achieve this optimal image quality on the studio screen, several challenges had to be overcome. One was the equipment of the space, con trece cámaras robóticas que viajan dinámicamente entre los videowall curvos, dos cóncavos y uno convexo.

Asegurarse de que los colores del videowall se vean bien en la pantalla y en cualquier posición de la cámara fue todo un desafío, recuerda Radi: “queríamos colores consistentes, de alto contraste y saturados para nuestros gráficos en todo el diseño del estudio, por lo que necesitábamos que se presentaran en la mejor resolución posible”.

Un desafío adicional a este requerimiento fue que “nuestro estudio permite que entre la luz del día, así que necesitábamos colores que fueran igual de impactantes tanto de noche como de día. Barco ciertamente ha hecho esto posible”, underlines this manager.

Image processing

The technology that drives all this excellence in color is Barco's Infinipix image processing platform, which has been integrated with video playback Vizrt, ensuring that colors are realistic and vivid in all camera positions, even under the sharpest angles.

In addition, with Barco's E2 display management platform, Al Arabiya's production team can develop an almost unlimited number of content templates to cater to your programming 24/7, as well as changing the environment of the studio and adapting its graphic compositions to the requirements of that moment.

"Barco's technology offers us many creative options," says Radi.. Una técnica que nos gusta usar es la ventana virtual; una cámara en movimiento con gráficos que se desplazan en la misma dirección de la cámara, basada en el seguimiento óptico. Gracias al procesamiento de imágenes de Barco, todo esto se puede hacer con una resolución perfecta y sin signos de temblores o fallos”.

Otra de las ventajas es que los módulos Led que configuran los videowalls de Barco pueden mantenerse frontalmente, por lo que se ahorra espacio en la trasera
