New Video Wall

[TWCToday]

Well goodbye video wall. This should solve a lot of their problems.

"Work being done on the old giant video wall! It will be replaced by 12 large LCD monitors. I hear it should be complete by the end of this month!"

[TWCToday]

Image and updates curtsey of Kelly Cass.
"This wall of monitors will likely not be used for weather maps...we will keep doing those from the green wall (mostly head-to-toe shots)"

I wonder if the 12 LCD's will have bezel's or not? I'd think not if it's going to be a video wall. That must be a somewhat large investment for TWC, but it will probably last much longer than the projection system.

I hope this new video wall won't be as much of a waste of money as the old one was!

I would argue it wasn't. It was used for a considerably long time. If you compare to other networks with live coverage, TWC really hasn't updated things in its main studios all that much. I think they got their moneys worth out of it.

I wonder how CNN does all of their video walls. Our those LCDs or video projection systems? In any case I hope it ends up looking something like what they have.

CNN's video Walls do look really nice. I think they use a projection system for the curved wall they have and then larger LCD's for the flat and smaller walls.

I have a feeling it will be a larger scale of the expert desk video wall with monitors showing different image sources. IE: Live video on one, source 2 on another, radar source on another, graphics system 3 on another, etc, etc. but can all be turned in to one large image. Just my idea.

I agree with you that it will be an LCD monitor wall where each each display content or all the monitors can display content.
My guess would be 3 rows of 4.

I hope they gave the video wall to recycling.

An update from Kelly Cass on the video wall,
Kelly Cass "coming along! I think will be done next week or week after?"

I hope they gave the video wall to recycling.

Doubt there were may pieces that could realistically be recycled in that setup. And it's not like it could be sent to another studio, as it was a custom build and fit for that room.

Probably means he hopes they give the viddeo wall to an electronics recycling outfit instead of just tossing it into a dumpster behind the building.

[IceManNYR]

The new video wall is being used as of the 10pm WCL.
It's a big blue wall divided into into squares with the two rows of 6 LDC monitors in front of the wall.
I'm guessing the wall behind the monitors will be able to change colors like the other walls of the studio.

All I have to say is: HOLY !
