RTVE modernizes its studios in Spain with Alfalite Led screens

Datos Media Technologies has won the competition to supply 964 Led panels from the manufacturer Alfalite to the Spanish Radio and Television Corporation (RTVE).

The Spanish public media company RTVE has launched an ambitious project renewal of all your studies nationwide to provide them with new features and cutting-edge technology that improve the experience of their viewers at home, providing flexible shapes, different and more exciting ways to present information.

All studios are equipped with augmented reality technology latest generation, for production teams to provide a greater sense of space and creative versatility in a more dynamic way, innovative and impactful that will make a real difference to your audience.

In this process, the European manufacturer of Led screens Alfalite, based in the Huelva town of Rociana del Condado, has supplied 964 units of his ModularPix Pro panels 1.9 ORIM (Optical resin injection module) a RTVE, after Datos Media Technologies will win the competition to supply, install and integrate visual equipment.

The path to winning the tender to supply screens for RTVE studios has not been easy. The corporation analyzed each of the solutions available on the market in order to find the most appropriate one to lead the line of sight of all its programs..

For this, RTVE's technical team hired a independent laboratory that could evaluate the response of screens from major manufacturers in a real broadcast environment.

At the time of analyze the best Led screens for studies, RTVE engineers especially valued issues such as viewing angle, the ability to maintain its colorimetry at low light levels, as well as the electromagnetic compatibility of the screens.

The choice of Alfalite ModularPix Pro panels responded to these requirements, since they have a pixel pitch 1,9 millimeters, optical parameters and cd/m2 brightness of more than 1.800 nits, which provides extraordinary viewing angle stability and allows the LED wall to be recorded even from extreme camera angles.

“These large screens work in television studios where there is a lot of communication between radio stations, wireless headphones or microphones - explained the RTVE engineering team -. It is essential to take into account this electromagnetic environment, “So we demanded that these displays comply with European laboratory standards.”.

As this team of experts adds, “we were looking low power display parameters and the absence of lead residues from the soldering of the components. One of our concerns was that the manufacturer of the Led screens complied with all the environmental criteria, since they will be used intensively”.

Regarding sustainability and compatibility, Two characteristics distinguish Alfalite Led panels from others on the market: its low average consumption (35 watts) and its reduced levels of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC Certification), so that the cabinets of this manufacturer can coexist without problems with other electronic systems without interference, as usually happens in TV studios or film sets.

As contest winner, Data Media Technologies will be responsible for integrating Alfalite's Led screens into RTVE. The corporation will also use camera tracking systems Mon-Sys integrated into Alfalite panels to work in a VP XR environment in their news, another of your requirements when selecting Led modules. Besides, will also use Unreal Engine of Epic Games as a graphics engine.

Specifically, have been installed 240 paneles Led Alfalite ModularPix Pro 1.9 ORIM on the news set Canal 24h, located in the well-known Torrespaña in Madrid. This renovated and elegant studio has large LED screens that provide enormous flexibility, with endless ways to bring stories to life.

RTVE has also deployed 550 Alfalite Led panels in the fourteen territorial centers spread throughout Spain, whose sets now have Led screens to show images and graphic resources with modern methods of storytelling, plus a more flexible space, dynamic and efficient with possibilities for interviews and debates.

In addition, the study for meteorological services located in the Sant Cugat production center (Barcelona) you will enjoy an Led mural composed of 174 Alfalite modules, which will allow the weather map to be expanded and improved so that presenters can narrate the day's weather dynamically.

“We are very satisfied with the work carried out with Data Media Technologies and the RTVE technical team for the renewal of all its studios,” he states. Sebastian Cabrera, CTO of Alfalite-. We are also proud that our product passed all independent laboratory gloss tests., colorimetry, viewing angle, frequency, consumption and CE test, which were requirements of the tender”.

As this manager points out, “This was a challenge that Alfalite was able to overcome thanks to all the research and development work we put into our ModularPix Pro P1.9 ORIM panels, to convert them into the Led panels with the best features, “lower consumption and greater market reliability”.

As published Digital AV, Alfalite's collaboration with RTVE began in 2021 with the installation of your ModularPix Pro P2 Led panels 6 SMD in the Prado del Rey studios, from where television programs such as Spain Direct, The Hour 1 o Here the Earth.

That same year, RTVE also renewed the study 2 of the daily news located in Torrespaña with Alfalite ModularPix Pro P1.9 ORIM and modernized the sports one in Sant Cugat with ModularPix Pro 1.9 SMD.

The Led panels used in the RTVE studios have the ORIM technology, a new termination system for LED panels using a optical resin injection that improves the precision between modules (<0,5 mm). Besides, provides a175º expanded horizontal and vertical viewing angle.

Led panels with ORIM technology have a superior antistatic protection (ESD > 10kV), better thermal dissipation parameters and excellent impact resistance, liquids, chemicals and fire (con UL94 certification). They are easier to clean, They suffer less deterioration and have the shortest repair time on the market, according to data tested by the company.
