ZDF Mainz

The Second German Television (ZDF) is one of the largest public broadcasters in Europe and is based in the Rhineland-Palatinate state capital of Mainz.
Together with the state broadcasting corporations that form the ARD and Deutschlandradio, ZDF forms the public broadcaster in Germany. Since February 12, 2010, programs have been broadcast in HD quality (ZDF HD) in regular operation.
In May 2013, the newly built ZDF control room 3 was put into operation with the latest image, sound and lighting technology. Well-known programs such as the ZDF television garden and the ZDF sports studio are broadcast from there. The entire lighting technology is based on the LED illuminant.
The main decision criteria and advantages of the LED light source compared to conventional light sources are the lack of heat radiation and the long service life. A targeted brightening of the dark areas is an essential point of the lighting concept of the Umstätter engineering office.
The walls, washed with light, make the rather dark-looking room appear larger and overall a completely different, pleasant depth of the rooms is created. The patented NauticProfil® system in the Enterprise-2 series from FLASHAAR was used, combined with track spotlights and lighting control from ERCO. Various light scenes can be called up and enable the user to flexibly adapt the lighting situation to the corresponding requirements.
