This NFL season, you will see coverage in a different light - literally. Two of the Vitec Group companies have collaborated to bring new technology the Fox Sports NFL booth.
The United States leader in video production equipment rentals, Bexel Broadcast Services (a member of Vitec Group since 1991), joined forces with Burbank-based Lite Panels (who joined the Group in the summer of 2008), to provide another broadcast first: a broadcast booth that uses only an LED-based lighting system! The move will result in not only lower power bills but also in cooler studios, because the system, built by Lite Panels and provided exclusively through Bexel, offers an efficient means to transmit light without transmitting heat.
“The LED technology we use is proprietary and can be dimmed via software control without any change in color temperature,” says Litepanels co-founder Pat Grosswendt. “Being able to variably dim the lights without shifting color is important.”
What’s the buzz? Read on…
- This is the first ever NFL broadcast booth to go eco friendly by utilizing the energy efficient Lite Panels LED lighting system which replaces traditional, mercury filled incandescent HMI booth packages with LED lights that emit zero heat and are made of 100% recyclable materials...
- The system utilizes 1/3 the amount of energy that traditional HMI or Fluorescent light packages and promises 100% flicker free performance…
- All day games tied to Fox’s NFL “B” package will feature Lite Panels products that emit no heat so, the on-air talent will be more comfortable since booth temperature will be drastically lower…
- The total light lighting package weighs 500 pounds which is considerably less than prior years and is a welcome benefit to the mobile units who are already running at weight-load capacity…
- Modular lighting systems like this make set-up easy which cuts booth set-up time in half.
