Cape Broadcast Studio 2
A 9-metre curved cyclorama for live news, shot at 1/2000 s with cameras as close as 1.4 metres.
The constraint
Presenters stand 1.4 m from the wall and the studio shoots at shutter speeds up to 1/2000 s. Anything under about 7,000 Hz visual refresh puts a rolling bar through the shot.
How it was resolved
Nano P1.25 at 7,680 Hz, colour-calibrated to the studio's Rec.709 target rather than to a factory white point. Curved to 8° over the corners using the standard mechanical detent — no shims, so the curve is repeatable if a cabinet is ever swapped.
Project record
These figures are presented with their operating or measurement condition. For a comparable brief, ask engineering for the relevant cabinet drawing, power and heat calculation, ingress certificate, calibration method and commissioning checks.
