Farmers Newspaper & Broadcast has updated its television studio, including a new broadcast backdrop, courtesy of Barco. The company’s UniSee LCD video wall panels were installed in a 4 × 2 formation.
The platform offers full HD picture quality and 800cd/m² brightness via a backlight with a 100,000-hour lifespan, according to Barco. The company also says it has re-engineered the design of the panels to counter all possible variations in brightness from the centre to the edges.
Sense X, Barco’s proprietary colour and brightness calibration technology, is designed to provide UniSee with uniformity, both intra-tile and across the entire wall, not only at time of installation, but also during the entire lifetime of the wall.
Barco’s NoGap technology ensures there is no visible seam between the screen panels, allowing content to be distributed over multiple tiles without interruption and creating a canvas without distraction or visual information loss. The panels themselves are aligned using a specially designed mounting structure.
The company says its UniSee Connect software platform allows easy set-up and configuration of the wall, so users don’t need a remote control to configure the wall tile per tile. The same platform also manages the video wall and automatically assigns and calibrates the panels.
