When it comes to broadcasting, video displays have become a staple technology for communicating and displaying information on sets and on screen.
At the 2016 National Association of Broadcasters show (NAB)), Samsung is showcasing its latest portfolio of broadcast display solutions, including the UDE-S Series Video Wall Displays that were recently integrated into the set of The Daily Show with Trevor Noah to provide an impressive backdrop for use in the show’s segments.
The 55-inch Direct-Lit LED Video Wall Display was also showcased at Almo Professional A/V’s E4 event in Teaneck, N.J.
Retaining quality in off-access viewing is an important feature for broadcast video walls, says Samsung senior business development manager, Solutions Business Management Visual Display Enterprise Business, Lenny Kleyman. That being said, the solution doesn’t require a lot of calibration and is meant to be a straight out of the box product.
According to a company press release, the Daily Show’s new set helps give the studio a fresh, new design that allows for more creative flexibility.

“The Daily Show was looking for a video wall solution designed for broadcast and one that would offer more opportunities to work creatively with correspondents and showcase dynamic content,” says Chris Ficarra, SVP, Integrated Marketing, Viacom Media Networks in a Samsung press release.
“Viacom has a long standing relationship with Samsung so when ‘The Daily Show’ set was being redesigned we reached out to their product team to get a peek at Samsung’s newest and best broadcast equipment. It was a natural fit and Samsung worked with us on a very aggressive schedule to get the new set built out with the Samsung Video Wall displays.”
Designed specifically for use in broadcast environments, the Samsung UDE-S Series Video Wall displays feature a specialized panel with low temperature operation (2800K-6500K) tailored for studio environments. The displays also include Samsung Color Expert Technology for near perfect calibration and project clear, high-res images through a wide viewing angle.
Samsung’s broadcast display solutions, including the UDE-S Series of LCD Video Wall displays and Direct View LED Video Wall solutions can be found at Booth # SU7421 at the Las Vegas Convention Center during NAB 2016.
