Screenco in constant motion at BBC Sports Personality Awards

For the third year running Screenco were equal to Christopher George's imaginative design for the BBC Sports Personality of the Year studio, sending video constantly streaming round BBC Television Centre's TV1 studio in a liquid pelmet to create a moving studio.

Hosted by Gary Lineker, Sue Barker and Steve Rider, the star-studded audience were able to follow the action live wherever they sat in this giant carousel, with documentary footage and in-studio interviews projected onto Screenco's strategically placed displays.

The video reinforcement specialists provided three big screens in widescreen format to take the long camera shots, hiring in Barco i8 and i10 high-brightness modules from sister company Creative Technology, which they configured respectively into a single 7.2m x 4m, and two 4.9m x 2.7m walls.

Screenco then supplied four long 1.2m deep panel strips - two in 13.8m lengths, one at 9.7m and the fourth measuring 4.9m. These were alternately broadcasting strips of video footage, generic graphics and liquid effects alternatively. All of the video was provided by the BBC with Screenco providing the graphics.
