BUSINESS DAY TV GETS THE LED TREATMENT
Summit TV was recently taken over by
new owners and is now called Business
Day TV (BDTV). The studio in which BDTV
is filmed also hosts the Ignition Channel
and the Home Channel (on the DSTV
bouquet): hence the need for a lighting
solution that offers dynamic color change.
Nico Steyn, from IntelliLAB, approached
Electrosonic SA to help find the right solution.
The studio has a large backdrop, floating LED
Screens, and a newly redesigned presenters’
desk. Electrosonic SA’s Bruce Schwartz,
in consultation with Nico, proposed a
combination of Martin Tripix 1200 fixtures and
Versa-light RGB strip lighting, all controlled
off a Martin M-PC controller. The Martin
Tripix fixtures were chosen for their high
brightness; their quietness; and, most
importantly, for their colour consistency. The
Martin Tripix does not have shadow or colour
separation problems, something inherent to
many LED products.
The M-PC controller allowed BDTV to quickly
set up presets for various shows, and then to
instantly recall them; this ensures consistency
and quick turn- around times.
Electrosonic SA’s Omar Sharfoodeen and his
install team had the fixtures installed in no
time. Jesse Dullabh, Technical and Controller
Support at Electrosonic SA, conducted
control desk training to eager BDTV staff.
