Project Quick Facts
Project Overview #
The TV JOJ studio in Bratislava remains one of LED Strip Studio’s technically most impressive broadcast installations. 850 metres of digital LED strips covering 40+ square metres of studio surface, all controlled by a single i5 PC running LED Strip Studio software.
This installation was significant not just for its scale, but as a proof of concept that a standard workstation could reliably drive this volume of addressable pixels in a live broadcast context.
What Makes This Installation Notable #
Scale vs. Simplicity #
850 metres of digital strips controlled from one computer. No complex server infrastructure — just LED Strip Studio software and a standard PC.
Strip Density #
Strips were installed at precise intervals calculated from camera-to-set distances and broadcast viewing angles. Our experience means we know exactly what density works for each camera configuration.
Ethernet Architecture #
Multiple LED Ethernet Controllers networked together, receiving Art-Net from the central workstation. Each controller can run independently if needed — ensuring broadcast continuity even if the network has issues.
Installation Process #
The video shows the full installation process:
- Strip laying and securing behind aluminium profiles
- Controller installation and network configuration
- Software mapping of all 850 metres
- Final testing and calibration under broadcast lighting
This installation influenced several subsequent TV studio projects across Central Europe and became a template many broadcast facilities adopted.
