Case study
The Studiovision complex is by far the biggest and main comprehensive television compound in Lebanon in terms of production capacities and equipment, and almost certainly the most sophisticated in the Middle East in terms of qualified, competent and trained personnel.
Studiovision selected Barco LED products for use in X Factor debut in the Middle East. The X Factor show was produced by Studiovision and premiered on 26 March on music channel Rotana TV, culminating in the grand finale on 4 June.
Studiovision requirements
“StudioVision has always been an innovator in the Middle East, and we have consistently set the standard to which others aspire. We are committed to producing appealing programs to viewers in the Middle East.” said Mr. Khalil Homeissy, Executive Manager at Studiovision. Mr. Homeissy added “We have chosen Barco products due to their slim, sleek design, which enables displays to be created in any shape or size, ideal for installation in TV studios.”
The Barco solution
Designed with state of the art LED technology, the ILite 8MD and MiPix-20, were used throughout the production of X Factor. The Mipix-20 LED building blocks were mounted into the X-shape of the characteristic X-factor logo, whereas the ILite LED tiels were used to create a 30 sqm (4.5 x 6.5) backdrop on stage. Also the stairs were illuminated with Barco LED, which added a subtle elegance to the stage.
