Czech TV Spices up their Productions with Orad's PowerWall Solution

Czech TV was looking for a state-of the art solution to trigger the video walls in its Studio 7, where it produces the daily main sports news, short hourly sports news, as well other sport shows. Orad's video wall solution, which provides up to 16k resolution from a single box was chosen, amongst those scrutinized, to trigger Czech TV’s 3 independent video walls. With Orad´s PowerWall solution, Czech TV can use canvases to generate more than one set of outputs for different display surfaces in the studio, and feed different walls with different aspect ratio graphics.

The walls themselves are powered by Orad's HDVG4 video rendering platform, providing 8 HD outputs in 1080i. All graphics on the video wall are triggered by 3DPlay while all full screen sports graphics and lower thirds are produced with Orad's Maestro character generator based on Orad´s HDVG platform.

"We feel that PowerWall meets and even surpasses all our requirements. It provides the cost effective solution we were looking for to bring compelling graphic content at very high resolutions to our 6x3 display, 3x2 display, and 2x2 Plasma display. The addition of Orad’s PowerWall to our studio will bring our productions to a new level,” Ivo Ferkel, CTO Czech TV.
