Canadian News Studio uses LED lighting to achieve accurate color control

CBC/SRC senior lighting designer Brad Dickson said: "I have been using PHILPS solutions in solid-state lighting, so I appreciate the fact that this plan as much as possible to achieve the best color consistency in LED unit. "

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) ranks among the most successful Canadian Broadcasting Corporation as its French Department of Soci t Radio-Canada (SRC) is one of the few with French broadcast TV network broadcast. The use of French to broadcast news is not the only characteristic of it; it is one of the first news studios in Toronto to fully adopt LED lighting.

CBC/SRC's senior lighting designer Brad Dickson was faced with a challenge. He has to find a new light to illuminate the entire SRC News Studio (including live people), but does not want to increase electricity consumption or cooling demand, so as not to bring more costs. The existing lighting system uses tungsten filament lamps, although the light source can effectively broadcast the staff, but these bulbs heat, power consumption and life is quite worrying. He considered other light sources, including fluorescent lamps, but these are not good solutions, because he wants to adjust the light spectrum according to their own norms. Dickson turned to PHILPS solid state lighting solutions based on LED lighting, as the best solution.

In full support of responsible for the renovation work of CBC technical operations manager Marc Chartrand, Dickson of conceptual design based on LED, and decided to implement without any previous news studio tried scheme. He designed a set of completely illuminated by the LED light source, lighting from background lighting to the lighting of the PHILPS solid state lighting solutions.

In the news channel above consists of nearly 40 iW Blast 12 Powercore lamp lighting device of high quality white light projected onto the ring, the host and guest body. Each color of the lamp can be adjusted between 3000K and 6500K, the correct "contrast to accurately realize white light". In order to increase the color, he also joined the ColorBlast 12 lighting device, the combination of the two can get a complete overall spectrum, which is essential to achieve the effect of variable lens shooting. Lighting device is very small, in a limited space. In addition, the ColorBlast 12 lighting device is also used to improve the color of the news studio background and other parts of the color saturation.

Through the implementation of this scheme, studio full use of LED lighting, can accurately control the ability to provide color play, and to be the most changeful color background, all of which do not require additional maintenance work, also without increasing power or cooling capacity.
