BCE chooses ARRI LEDs for RTL City studios

BCE chooses ARRI LEDs for RTL City studios ARRI LED lights illuminate the 3 new studios at BCE headquarters, RTL City, in Luxemburg.

Part of RTL Group, Broadcasting Center Europe (BCE) is a European leader in media services, system integration, and software development for the media market. Based in Luxemburg, this leading technology company inaugurated their new company headquarters in April 2017, complete with 3 brand new, state-of-the-art studios. The lighting requirement for the modern RTL City studios was for them to be lit exclusively by LED. The experts at ARRI were involved in the project since inception in 2014 when the first thoughts and plans were discussed. After taking part in an EU tender and being awarded the project, ARRI, not only provided the equipment, but became responsible for the planning, consultation, construction supervision and management of the lighting for all 3 studios.

The new studios at BCE headquarters are fully equipped with LED lighting making them some of the first in Europe. Studio 1, with a grid construction, is a multifunctional production studio, mainly used for magazine programming with live audiences. In this studio, ARRI has employed the first real Cyclorama application of their SkyPanels with the SkyBender.

The second studio or news studio, also utilizes a grid construction and contains 3 sets for live shows. This studio has a much higher technical standard and multiple cable and other installations as a backup in case one setup breaks down.

The TV or virtual studio is the third studio at BCE headquarters and boasts of a green screen.

For all 3 studios, the LED lights are controlled via signal transmitted from a console through sACN-Ethernet (IP protocol). This allows for cable reduction on set compared to standard DMX cabling. The lighting control desks were supplied by EATON (Model: Zero FLX 88) due to their intuitive surface, overall quality, feature set, as well as the service the company provides.
