Optical projection screens for TV studio

More and more TV studios use large optical projection screens as part of their settings for news broadcasts, sport studios and game shows.

The ability to show live images in large sizes under high ambient light conditions make optical projection screens well suited for on-air support via Electronic News Gathering (ENG) or Satellite News Gathering (SNG). Moreover, optical projection screens allow set designers to change the look of the TV studio and adjust to different programmes simply by changing screen content.

Big screens in bright TV studio

Most TV studios operate with light levels well above 1000 lux, which would completely “wash out” the image on a conventional (non-optical) front projection screen. So before buying a screen for a TV studio make sure it is able to withstand direct light without showing any reflections from light sources and technical equipment. It is also important that the screen is designed to provide good images even when seen from wide viewing angles.

Optical rear projection screens from dnp effectively solve these problems: They provide perfect images – even at colour temperatures well above 3000 Kelvin. The screens have built-in anti-reflective technology and contrast enhancements systems. And they provide wide viewing angles right round to 180˚.
