From the beginning, The Nou Broadcast Service team has worked with the technical and commercial managers of Earpro&EES, forming an alliance that has allowed the implementation of a challenging project from a technical point of view.

The main challenge has been the television studio, located in a small space and conditioned by the interior height, since it is located on the third floor of an office building.

The installation of the Led screen has required a minimum height for the general plans, Therefore, Nou Broadcast Service has carried out work to adapt the ceiling and floor to gain space.. Finally, The solution chosen was an Absen screen, with high resolution and advanced technology for 4K image quality.

Specifically, has been chosen for modelo indoor K1.9 Plus, selected for its resolution of 256×512 pixels and its high refresh rate, optimal for working with PTZ cameras in a small space. Finally, The installed Led screen has dimensions of 17 meters wide by 2,5 meters high.

Regarding the sound, for both the television studio and the radio studio and the call room, has opted for Shure, since its solutions meet all the requirements and technical specifications. On this occasion, The main challenge has been marked by the limited space and the large size of the Led screen, that have made clean coverage difficult.

For this reason, systems have been chosen from the ULX series de Shure, known for their quality and versatility, along with subminiature lavalier microphones TL48B/O-MTQG, characterized by an enhancement in the mid frequencies that makes them an ideal option for voice and dialogue.

Dante technology, together with the Shure receiver ULXD4QE K51, has facilitated the installation and configuration of the different audio elements.

The editorial office of El Nacional.cat has more than one hundred workers, Therefore, it has been essential to find an optimal visualization solution from any workstation.. For that reason, has been implemented a IPTV system that allows sending over the network 30 simultaneous signal flows.

Regarding the monitors, High resolution and brightness devices have been necessary, designed for long hours of continuous operation and that promote immersive viewing. The solutions of digital signage of LG have made it possible to respond to this through 25 monitors 43UH5J-H and five of the model 55UH5J-H. Besides, three other monitors 65TR3DJ have been installed in the meeting rooms.

With all this, The audiovisual project has made possible the consolidation of a newsroom at the forefront of the production of digital content thanks to the provision of technological means.
