More weather. Bigger, better graphics. The latest media technology.
WNBC's new studio launches Monday - Studio 3K at 30 Rockefeller Center.
Double the size of the previous space, Studio 3K includes an expanded weather forecast center. Illuminated by energy-efficient LED lighting fixtures, new controls now direct the look and feel of each portion of the set. State-of-the-art broadcast cameras will also generate an enhanced visual presentation.
But a new TV studio isn't just what you see on your television. What's behind the scenes is just as impressive:
- 6.5 miles of electrical cable and conduit
- 26 miles of A/V and fiber communications links
- 5,000 cable connections
- 288 fiber-optic cables run between the studio and the newsroom
- 36 video monitors
- 285 LED light fixtures
- 215.5 Kw less power draw with LEDs versus old studio lights
Watch the timelapse above to see seven weeks of construction in under three minutes.
