HDTV Kika show opts for ADB

Details: 14 March 2016

Germany - The new, purpose-built MDR high definition television studio in Erfurt, where programmes for the popular children's channel Kika are filmed, has upgraded its lighting system to feature 28 ADB ALC4 multipurpose modular luminaires in the role of asymmetrical cyclorama lights.

A new studio and the show's switch to HD entailed a new concept in lighting. Camera operators at the 600sq.m studio at MDR's headquarters laid down a stringent specification for lighting the huge cyclorama - which has a curved base with a 1m radius that merges smoothly with the floor to avoid a hard lighting transition. This stipulated a maximum variation in lighting of +/- 70 lux across the cyclorama, within the cameras' operating range on Kika of between 300 and 500 lux.
