Alfalite scores World Cup deal

LED screens manufacturer Alfalite was selected to provide a 132sq m LED wall for the new PLAZAMEDIA hybrid studio near Munich in Germany to support its coverage of the 2022 Fifa World Cup.

The TV set has been using camera tracking and multi-camera systems from Mo-Sys, also the Alfalite LED wall supplier for this installation, to deliver coverage to viewers across Germany.

PLAZAMEDIA, a live entertainment and sporting events producer, selected an Alfalite Modularpix Pro VP XR 1.9 ORIM 33m-wide and 3.5m-high curved U-shaped LED wall for the new studio at the AGROB Medienpark.

The studio set also combined existing set architecture, and physical media feeds with a digitally generated virtual extension in a 360° world. Four cameras have been used to interplay virtual and real elements in real-time from the giant Alfalite LED.

To ensure all camera movements were transferred to the virtual world, the position of the four studio cameras have been constantly tracked and the data transferred to the render engines using the Mo-Sys Startracker camera tracking system and broadcast Mixed Reality system.

Jesús Cabrera, chief executive of Alfalite, says: “We are thrilled that a prestigious company as PLAZAMEDIA chose ORIM LED Wall for their new and innovative XR LED Studio.

“It’s great to work with these technology partners and continue improving our technology with Mo-Sys.”
