Macropix recently completed a new installation at PTV’s television studio in Genoa, reinforcing the reliability of Macropix solutions in the broadcast sector, a field that demands the highest standards of image quality, operational continuity, and color accuracy. In broadcast environments, LED surfaces must deliver absolute uniformity, flawless visuals, deep blacks, and precise color reproduction, even under the scrutinizing eyes of cameras. For PTV, the setup included:
- Six Crius-C indoor LED totem with 1.8 mm pixel pitch, each measuring 64 x 202.5 cm
- Corner Imaginis-JC LED wall with 1.2 mm pixel pitch, measuring 6.6 x 2.363 meters
The high pixel density and precise engineering ensure ultra-sharp visuals even at close range, eliminating unwanted artifacts on camera and delivering consistent, crisp content across the entire surface. For the broadcast world, this translates into:
- Readable images on camera
- Stable colors under professional lighting
- Reliable performance during live broadcasts and recordings
- Flexible set design without technical compromises
This solution was designed not just to “display,” but to elevate every production with the highest visual standards.
Tailored LED setup for television production
The centerpiece is the angled LED screen, seamlessly integrated into the studio space to provide a continuous, immersive, high-impact visual backdrop.
- Product: corner LED display
- Series: Imaginis-JC
- Pixel pitch: 1.2 mm
- Display area: 6.6 x 2.363 meters
The 1.2 mm pitch ensures incredible detail even in close-up shots, typical on TV sets. The angled design adds depth, creating a dynamic, three-dimensional background ideal for programs, segments, and corporate content. Six indoor LED totem complement the setup with elegance and functionality.
- Product: LED Totem
- Series: Crius-C
- Pixel pitch: 1.8 mm
- Display area: 64 x 202.5 cm
Slim, compact, and elegant, the totems display graphics, logos, videos, or dynamic information, offering maximum flexibility in framing and set layouts. The system is engineered for technical integration, easy management, and uninterrupted operation, critical in studios where downtime is costly.
Crius-C: sleek, immediate digital communication
The Crius-C totems are freestanding digital displays designed for high-definition performance at close range. Ready to use with a single power cable, they offer:
- Freestanding, easily repositionable structure
- Front or rear maintenance
- Standard content management like a regular monitor
With brightness over 600 nits, a 140° viewing angle, and fanless operation, the totems deliver brilliant visuals silently—essential in a TV studio. Low energy consumption and optional protections against impacts and splashes make them ideal for intensive use.
Imaginis-JC: visual excellence for broadcast
The Imaginis-JC series represents the cutting edge of LED technology. Its Flip Chip COB (Chip on Board) architecture mounts microchips directly onto a resin-protected surface, enhancing reliability and uniform brightness. Key benefits for a TV studio:
- Greater resistance to dust, humidity, and stress
- Better heat dissipation and long-term stability
- Simplified maintenance and quick servicing
Visually, the display delivers up to 10,000:1 contrast and indoor-calibrated brightness (600 nits), ensuring deep blacks, rich colors, and realistic images ideal for camera capture. A wide 170° viewing angle preserves color fidelity even from side angles. Compact, lightweight design and front-access maintenance with integrated power solutions maximize operational efficiency. With this installation, Macropix reinforces its broadcast expertise, providing PTV with a visually and technologically advanced tool that enhances production quality and ensures consistent performance over time.
